Abstract: In the context of Islam, recycling is not merely a conservation activity but also a manifestation of humanity’s responsibility as khalifah in preserving the Earth. Thus, this study aims to analyze the role of recycling practices in fostering environmental sustainability through the integration of the principle of islah, as illustrated in the ‘Main Sama-Sama’ approach. This approach focuses on repurposing discarded materials into toys that can benefit various segments of society. Through a qualitative approach involving textual analysis and sculpture studies, this research seeks to highlight the integration of the islah principle within the ‘Main Sama-Sama’ approach. The findings show that the incorporation of islah strengthens ecological awareness and promotes social unity through the spirit of mutual assistance. The ‘Main Sama-Sama’ initiative, which emphasizes collaborative activities among community members, has been proven to enhance the effectiveness of recycling practices and instill positive moral values. Furthermore, it reinforces collective responsibility in environmental education, in alignment with Islamic teachings, to ensure ecological sustainability and social harmony.
