This article discusses David Malouf’s novel entitled An Imaginary Life from an eco-critical perspective. It examines certain symbols from nature that appear in the novel during the journey of Ovid, the main character, in the exile. The data is collected by applying library research methods. Primary data are all symbols from nature related to Ovid’s journey and the formation of his new identity in the exile. Meanwhile, the secondary data are all information from books and articles related with archetypal symbols and criticism. The result of analysis is presented by the descriptive method. The analysis results in two conclusions. Firstly, nature that is presented as wild at the beginning of the story turns into a home for the main character at the end of the story. Secondly, nature, represented by some symbols, evidently plays an important role in making Ovid embrace his new life and forms new identity apart from his past life as a famous poet back in Rome.

Islam was revealed by Allah S.W.T to His messenger, the great Prophet Muhammad S.A.W is a complete and comprehensive religion to face all human problems in this world. It is integrated into a natural system and suitable to be implemented in all places, times, and situations. All its laws and regulations are not contrary to the norms and human nature. This is simply to ensure harmonious life, free from all strife that can ruin a human life. In daily life, human beings often cannot escape from facing various difficulties, problems, and disputes. Therefore, Islam does not allow its followers to look for a solution to the matter without providing a way out and blowing the spirit of Islamiyyah into it. The sulh method is a concept of external dispute resolution and this method has been practiced in all Syariah Courts throughout Malaysia. Peace carries the definition of one of the main teachings in Islam that leads to things or deeds to make peace. This qualitative study uses library research methods as well as documents such as the Quran, books, and research papers. This study aims to refine the concept of Sulh in Islam, history and evaluate the application of Sulh which is now increasingly overlooked by society. This study is important in elevating the concept and wisdom of Sulh that needs to be emphasized in Islam in order to be able to be appreciated and harmonized by the community in Malaysia.
