Maqasid Syariah Standpoint On The Issue Of The Impact Of Light Pollution On Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

Sustainability is acknowledged as the answer to delivering a reasonable and balanced resolution in the rising tension of addressing human progress. Sustaining one field is described as the concept of preserving and conserving existing resources for present and future usage. Many aspects of sustainability, including one understood by the Brundtland panel, are vague and ineffective. Uncertainty over what constitutes sustainability leads to poorly managed city development and urban growth, which ignores the dangers of light pollution that harm human welfare. Given this situation, the purpose of this research is to investigate the hazards of light pollution using the Maqasid Shariah Principle of Islamic Jurisprudence. The aspects and ideas inherent in this holistic approach are then evaluated to develop criteria on how this concept may be successfully used in sustaining light pollution. In evaluating and analysing key papers, commissions and other literary material, this research employed a qualitative technique according to content and doctrinal analysis. Findings from this study demonstrated that in conceptualising the hazards of light pollution, Maqasid Shariah includes a broader range of issues, including human life, intellectual, progeny and property preservation. In addition, this study proposes and evaluates the extent to which the study suggestions might improve the comprehension of city planners, economic players and policy makers of the problem of light pollution, hence mitigating and lowering the light pollution situation.
