One of the fundamental principles of Islamic legislation is mercy pertaining to the environment as contained in al-Qur’an al-Karim. In this paper, the concept of mercy to the environment is derived from two exegetes’ discourses that are Rashid Rida (d. 1935CE) and Sayyid Qutb (d. 1966). The objective of this paper is to expose the views of these two prominent figures which focus on environmental texts. The interpretations based upon al-ra’yi (rational) approach will lead to increase the understanding of current needs as well as the emphasis of auxiliary sciences in environmental conservation issues. The study is significance in determining the concept of mercy according to exegetes from outside of al-ma’thur (interpretation based on tradition or text) framework. Critically, the pursuit of environmental preservation is accomplished through the appreciation of rational exegetes’ approaches. In analyzing data, this study employs the deductive method and descriptive methods in applying the concept of environmental mercy from Rashid Rida’s Tafsir al-Manar and Sayyid Qutb’s Fi Zilal al-Qur’an. Through the Quranic verses of environmental preservation, this study demonstrates that the notion of environmental preservation is emphasized by Rashid Reda and Sayyid Qutb with the obligation of all parties to execute. Although the period and background of exegetes are different, the similarity of their global interpretations suggest more mechanism are made for the environmental awareness. The most important conclusion is the concept of mercy contained in the Quranic verses can be interpreted and appreciated with the struggle of the environmental movement. This understanding of al-ra’yi interpretation give insight into Muslim scholars’ exposition and demonstrate that their intellectual capacity is far-reaching and develops a conclusive concept for universal humanity.
