According to him, human duties in the world not only teach the use of nature, but also emphasize the importance of maintaining the balance of the ecosystem for the sake of sustainability for future generations.

In a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW who emphasized the importance of planting trees, even at the end of the time. According to him, this is a strong message of sustainability and how human actions today can provide benefits for future generations.

"What we are doing today may not be enjoyed in person, but it can be useful for generations after us," he explained.

Furthermore, he stressed that in Islam, taking advantage of nature is allowed, but must be accompanied by awareness to maintain its balance. He underlined the human concept as a caliph on earth, which is responsible for protecting the environment.

On this occasion, he invited the public, especially mining business actors, to be increasingly aware of their role in protecting the environment and implementing a sustainable lifestyle in their daily lives.

According to him, sustainability is not only an environmental issue, but also part of religious teachings that emphasize balance and affection for living things.

"We have to start from small things, such as reducing waste, planting trees, and using resources wisely. All of this is part of our worship for Allah," said Hanan.
