The Role of Religious Teachings in Solving the Environmental Crises

God has created the being in an unrivalled order and astonishing unity. A small part of this order is nature and man. Nature with all its existents is in relation to another part of being، i. e. man. According to the teachings of Abrahamic (monotheistic) religions، the whole being and thus nature are worshipping their Creator. This implies an alive and perceiving creature، which has [because of its being perceiving] some rights and obligations. God has granted nature and all its good things to man so that، enjoying it، he may attain his ultimate happiness which is the same as closeness to God. This is an interactive relation between two living creatures and not a relation according to which one side (man) may exploit the other side (nature). The link between man and nature is the fundamental issue of the ultimate goal of creation of man. While analyzing the existing teachings of the Abrahamic religions concerning the subject matter of the present study، the article has provided some reply for the question «What is man''s role in producing evil (whether natural and supra-natural)?» The methodology of the present study is an analytic-philosophical view to the phenomena of the world while discussing teachings of the monotheistic religions. Among the results of the present study، we man mention discussing environmental crisis in a new and religion-based light، providing fundamental religious solutions for the problem، and existence of evil in the being if man comes into conflict with the environment.
