Abstract

Prevailing new ideas about global landscaping is the most important topic that helps in controlling environmental pollution and several other issues related to Geology.  Target of the subject “Global landscaping” is to enhance the physical appearance of the Earth. Actually, it is about to aesthetical study of Earth on a large scale, such as planting trees, reshaping countryside, creating green spaces, applying sustainable land management practices. Now the question is, what does Islam say about this? To what extent Islam can play a role to maintain and enhance the aesthetic beauty of the world’s landscape. But the major purpose of this paper is to explore the human behaviors that are also causing changes in the beauty of nature. So, this is not just focusing on the physical aesthetic view of land but also pointing out the indirect behaviors of humans that count to change the landscape. Because the transformation of the land and ecosystem is based on the behaviors of human beings. The discussion of this paper just relies on the Holy Quran and Hadith and not after the period of the last Prophet P.B.U.H.
