Abstract
According to the Holy Quran, God is the true owner of whatever exists in the heavens and earth. And the human must has use the blessings that the Lord has given him in the right way; Faith and disbelief have a direct correlation with how nature treats the human. Degradation of natural resources is an obvious example of breach of trust, and underestimation of God's blessings, and causes the benefit that the human takes from the natural environmental resources to be limited. In other words, human behavior with respect to the environment and the behavior of the environment towards the human are mutually correlated, which correlation can be organized by the religion. According to the Holy Quran, the nature is a living being, and although the nature may be modified by humans, good behavior of the nature and environment towards humans is directly correlated with the human’s good deeds and faith. This issue can be studied through rational and scientific investigation. The present research aimed to identify the mechanisms of behavior of the nature and environment towards the human according to the Quran; Rational and scientific explanation of such phenomenon was the objective of this research.
