This study aims to examine the principles of sustainability in the Qur'an and their relevance for strengthening Islamic education amidst increasing contemporary ecological challenges. Departing from the escalating global environmental crisis, this study confirms that the Qur'anic values of amanah, mizān, fases, and rahmatan lil-'alamin have significant potential as ethical and spiritual foundations in shaping students' ecological character. Using a qualitative approach with a library study design, this study examines Qur'anic verses, various classical and contemporary commentaries, and scientific literature related to environmental ethics and sustainability education. Content analysis is applied to identify textual and historical meanings which are then formulated into conceptual themes regarding sustainability. The results show that the four Qur'anic principles form a comprehensive ethical framework for sustainability and can be implemented in three main aspects of Islamic education: curriculum development, pedagogical strategies, and institutional culture building. These findings also confirm that Qur'anic values offer a richer normative foundation than secular approaches, particularly in building ecological awareness integrated with moral and spiritual dimensions. Theoretically, this research broadens understanding of the relationship between religion, ethics, and sustainability; practically, this research contributes as a reference in designing an Islamic education model that is responsive to environmental issues and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda.
