TARBIYA: Journal of Education in Muslim Society, 11(2), 159-178. doi:10.15408/tjems.v11i2.42072.2442-9848https://doi.org/10.15408/tjems.v11i2.42072https://repository.uiii.ac.id/handle20.500.14576/477This paper explores integrating Islamic environmental ethics into the curriculum of basic education in the Gambia for a sustainable environment. In this paper, we adopted a qualitative approach to collect data through interviews with ten selected participants from 6 different regions in the Gambia. Our selection of participants was done purposively as we selected individuals who are well-versed in the subject matter. Our findings show that integrating Islamic environmental ethics into the basic education curriculum in The Gambia will not only have a long-term solution to the national environmental issues but rather will also breed a generation that will care for and love their environment, hence the country will have a sustainable ecosystem. However, this paper, therefore, recommends that the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education to work with Islamic scholars in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment to develop a curriculum that will integrate Islamic environmental ethics in schools in The Gambia.enCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International LicenseIntegrationIslamic environmental ethicsCurriculumBasic educationGambiaArticle
