Abstract

This paper tried to give different explanation about global warming phenomena with thematic studies of the Qur’anic verses. The writer saw that global warming is contextual problem. Global warming is widely discussed in the news today and Scientists in many fields are concerned about it. The increase in the made emission of greenhouse gases was the cause for global warming. Global warming was the observed and projected increases in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The problem of global warming is regarded as one of the most serious environmental problems of our time. We could not find anything about global warming problem with textual comprehension in the Qur’anic verses or Sunnah tradition, but with contextual comprehension these problems were actually explained.

Many statements in the Holy Qur’ān invite us to try to see the important events that already passed that can be used as lessons for this generation or that in the future. In the light of Muhammad Shahrūr with his background as scientific figure used the science logic and modern linguistic to approach for interpreting al-Qur’ān. His assumption was nothing contradiction between reality, mind and “al-wahyu”. He explained that his approach to understand of Holy Qur’ān was benefit in the science development. Muhammad Shahrūr has interpreted al-Qur’ān with hermeneutic approach, clarified that al-Qur’ān as divine revelation “al-wahyu” for mankind was sent down to be known and understood for all. Allāh exalted is He, has given guidance for human to open the secret message of Allāh. I tried to read and interpret al-Qur’ān with the intertextuality to explain the global warming problems. I merged the combination between thematic method of al-Qur’ān and intertextuality as a Shahrūr method to describe the global warming concept in the Qur’an in the light of Muhammad Shahrūr hermeneutic approach.

Al-Qur’ān has described the natural problem in the heaven and earth. The Order to read and recite al-Qur’ān for application was very important, besides about the phenomena in the cosmos. The signal of global warming was clarified and described by the Qur’anic verses like: global warming phenomena {QS.al-Rūm [30]: 41-42}, greenhouse effect and ozon depletion {Sabā’[34]: 9; QS.al-Mulk [67]: 16-18}, mischief and any damage, natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and droughts, tsunami, oceans suffered to burst forth, {QS.al-Infitār [82]: 1-19, QS.al-Mulk [67]: 16-18}, and another verses. The act of god currently a like disaster, damage, mischief on the earth and heaven and global warming which all of them have been resulted by human factor or only process of natural occurrence. Global warming disaster is sunnatullāh and also caused by human hands as catalyzer. The negative effects of Global warming can be resolved by changing the attitudes and actions of mankind for an environmentally safe world
