A Strategic Theory on Environmental Security on the Basis of the Religious Discourse on Wilayat-e-Faqeeh

Today, one reason for the global focus on the subject of sustainable development, environment and natural resources destruction in light of the doctrines of the capitalist system is based on profit maximization. That human beings have become more careful in dealing with the nature, and strive to formulate environmental ethics accounts for the reason why their trust to the power of technology has become faltering these days. A study of the Islamic texts shows that those texts are rich in terms of the directions issued on how to properly deal with the nature without going to any kind of extremes. However, negligence on the part of Muslim scholars has caused westerners to claim to formulate environmental ethics, and even, to introduce religion as a factor that motivates man to destroy nature, though they themselves are the principal factor in destroying the nature. On the other side, inside our country, part of the authorities involved in managing the affairs related to development of the country, are not practically obsessed with protecting the environment, hence causing natural resources losses. The aim of this research is to provide a strategic theory on environmental security. The methodology in this article is content analysis using Grounded theory. The result of this research will be that valid deductive reasoning concepts and data are translated into theory. Achieving an optimal theory comprising generalizable concepts and data will be possible only through considering theoretical foundations, and observing environmental ethics, and public culture-building along with deterring rules, a pure and sustainable environment. This constitutes as a strategic theory and a successful outcome in the area of environmental security.
