AbstractLake Toba is a volcanic-tectonic lake which is rich in natural resources. Wealth and benefits here will keep on exist and continue if humans and nature are in danger of the order of the universe that continues to be pursued together. But the reality is not always the case. Human needs are not limited to degradation of their homes, need ecological awareness that is needed to restore the existing damage. In this study, the method used is a qualitative method with critical theological research. Researchers will implement ecological damage in the Lake Toba area based on informative data. The results obtained indicate the factors causing ecological damage on the part and the parties contributing to the ecological damage are very complex and integrated with each other. This research will be reviewed through Fretheim's perspective that ecological damage in the Lake Toba region will be examined in a necessary relational theology. This theology will help us to see the relational patterns that allow humans to see the broad relations between themselves, God and non-humans. God and His creation are in the interdependence of wholeness. This review will help to critique ecological damage from revised theological studies into a reference to the destructive ecology of community. Thus, awareness of ecological damage is needed as a joint responsibility of every levels of society and the relevance of activities supported by (sustainable creation) because natural damage (Lake Toba) will increase the survival of the community, both today and in the future.Keywords: relational theology; ecological damage; Lake Toba; Fretheim's perspective.AbstrakDanau toba adalah danau vulkano-tektonik yang kaya akan sumber daya alam. Kekayaan dan kemanfaatan di dalamnya akan terus ada dan continue jika manusia dan alam berada dalam harmoni tatanan alam semesta yang terus diupayakan bersama. Namun kenyataan yang ada tidak selalu demikian. Kebutuhan manusia yang tidak terbatas mengakibatkan degradasi lingkungan terhadap tempat tinggalnya, sehingga kesadaran ekologis sangat diperlukan untuk memulihkan kerusakan yang ada. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan tinjauan kritis teologis. Pada metode ini, peneliti akan mengidentifikasi kerusakan ekologi di kawasan Danau Toba berdasarkan data informatif. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor penyebab kerusakan ekologi di dalamnya dan pihak-pihak yang menyumbang kerusakan ekologis terhadapnya sangat kompleks dan terintegrasi satu dengan yang lain. Penelitian ini akan ditinjau melalui perspektif Fretheim yaitu kerusakan ekologi di kawasan Danau Toba akan dikaji dalam sebuah teologi relasional penciptaan. Teologi ini akan membantu melihat pola relasional yang memungkinkan manusia melihat secara luas relasi di antara dirinya (human), Allah dan nonhuman. Allah dan ciptaan-Nya berada dalam interdepensi keutuhan ciptaan yang mencakup kerangka mutualisme. Tinjauan ini akan membantu mengkritisi kerusakan ekologi dari kajian teologis yang diduga menjadi acuan teologi ekologi masyarakat yang destruktif. Dengan demikian, diperlukan kesadaran kerusakan ekologis sebagai mutual responsibility seluruh lapisan masyarakat dan relevansi dari aktivitas penciptaan yang berkelanjutan (creation continua) karena kerusakan alam (Danau Toba) akanmempengaruhi keberlangsungan hidup masyarakat, baik hari ini maupun di masa yang akan datang.Kata kunci: teologi relasional; kerusakan ekologi; danau toba; perspektif Fretheim.

<p>Humans and nature are two of the many symbols of the manifestation of God’s love for the universe He created. The form of God’s love for the universe is an indisputable reality because before God created humans, he also thought and understood the survival of human beings in the realm of life as a form of symbiotic relationship between human and natural.<br />All human needs have been fulfilled and provided by God through the supply of natural resources, and vice versa God is preparing humans to help maintain the balance of the universe, both physical, biological and socio-cultural elements.<br />The concept of Tri Hita Karana is the root of people’s happiness in Bali. As a philosophy of life for Balinese people who still exist in the community in Bali, it is also used as a model of happiness in other countries in the world. This concept is a very simple to be implemented in everyday life. Because Tri Hita Karana etymologically is derived from three syllables, Tri which means “three”, Hita means “happiness” and Karana which means “cause”. The three causes of happiness consist of Parahyangan, Palemahan and Pawongan.<br />The relation of God’s relationship with nature according to the Hindu perspective is God as a symbol of the bhuana agung and bhuana alit. God as a symbol of the bhuana agung (universe) is a manifestation of the contents of the universe while God as a symbol of the bhuana alit can be realized that God exists and lives in<br />every human being.</p>

الملخّصإنّ الفقر والإملاق من المشكلات الرئيسة التي يواجهها العالم اليوم، ومن أسبابها ندرة الموارد الاقتصادية الشديدة وندرة الغذاء والماء. فندرة الموارد وقلتها كانت ذات أثر مباشر في قتل الملايين من الأنفس البشريّة. وتعدّ ندرة الموارد عند الاقتصاديين الخطر الأساس الذي يهدد الوجود البشري في هذا العصر. ويعتبرها الاقتصاديّون كذلك معضلة اقتصادية ناتجة عن رغبات الإنسان غير المتناهية مقابل موارد محدودة ومتناهية. ومن الأمور التي يقترحها الاقتصاديون من اجل التغلب على هذه المشكلة أن النّاسن ينبغي عليهم أن يختاروا الموارد الضرورية والحاجية لتلبية رغباتهم. فمفهوم الندرة من منظور الاقتصاد التقليدي يعني موارد محدودة في العالم مقابل حاجات ورغبات غير محدودة. وسبب ذلك عند الاقتصاديين أن الطبيعة لا توفر موارد كافية لتلبية حاجات الناس ورغباتهم غير المتناهية. ونظرة الإسلام التي يمثلها القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية الشريفة لمسألة الندرة نظرة مختلفة تماما عن نظرة الاقتصاد التقليدي. ويعنى هذا البحث ببيان أن الندرة ليست مشكلة الطبيعة التس سخّرها الله تعالى للإنسان،  ولكن المشكلة في أخلاقيات الناس وتصرفاتهم في الموارد الطبيعية وطريقتهم في الانتفاع بها التي أدت إلى إدخال الضرر والفساد على الموارد الموجودة.الكلمات المفتاحية: الإسلام، ندرة الموارد، الاقتصاد المعاصر، الموارد الطبيعية، الطبيعة. **************************************               AbstractAmong the main problems that the world is facing today are poverty and destitution caused by severe scarcity of economic resources and the scarcity of food and water. The lack of resources has already caused the death of millions of human beings. The scarcity of resources is counted by economists as the primary danger that threatens the human existence. Economists also consider it an economic dilemma caused by infinite human desires against limited and finite resources. In order to overcome this problem among the suggestions made by economists is that human beings should choose only necessary resources to satisfy their desires. The conventional concept of scarcity is that the resources in the world are limited vis-à-vis the unlimited human needs and desires. The reason for that according to economists is that the nature does not provide sufficient resources to meet people’s endless needs and desires. Islamic approach as represented by the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah to the issue of scarcity is essentially different from the conventional viewpoint of economists. This paper proposes and explains that the problem is not in the nature which Allah has made subservient to man, but it is in the ethics of the people and their behaviour and way of utilization of natural resources, which ultimately damage and corrupt the available resources.Keywords: Islam, Scarcity of Resources, Modern Economy, Environmental Resources, Nature.

The article examines the place of Natural Resource Law and post-resource branches of law in the legal system, proposes a hierarchy of these branches and outlines the relationship between the subjects of natural resource and post-resource relations. The subject of legal regulation of Natural Resource Law is defined as qualitatively homogeneous natural resource relations, consisting of the use and reproduction of natural resources – a legally defined part of the environment that have signs of natural origin and are in ecological relationship with the environment and with each other, can be used as a source of meeting human needs. All natural resources, as well as the relationship to their use and reproduction, are closely linked. This connection will always be inseparable and reciprocal. It is established that in the system of Natural Resource Law public relations regarding the use and reproduction of certain natural resources are in fact its subsectors and provide a differentiated approach to the environmentally sound use of each of the relevant natural resources. Natural Resource Law is not a conglomeration of land, water, forest and subsoil law, but their qualitative unity based on a single nature, factors of development and the internal structure of social relations. It is concluded that neither the long history of legislation, nor a significant amount of regulations that are sources of post-resource industries, are grounds for denying the inseparable and mutual connection of post-resource branches of law with each other and with Natural Resource Law and the objective need for separation independent branch of Natural Resource Law. Keywords: Natural Resource Law, land law, water law, forest law, subsoil law, faunal law, floristic law, natural resource relations, post-resource relations, legal system, branch of law

The conclusion of this article is that inter-religious education in the Quran is an education that encourages all students to have an intellectual, moral, achievement and noble personality with humanity and togetherness orientation to develop the principles of democracy, equality and justice in social life and compassion for the universe on the basis of faith in God. Students are required to know the background of each religion and not see it from just one perspective, but also through the perspectives of others to avoid excessive fanaticism in religion that can be a trigger for conflict so far. The article also found two things needed in the construction of Inter-Religious Education, namely; firs! to carry out dialogue by placing each religion in an equal position. Second, develop an attitude of tolerance by providiug opportunities for each religion to urderstand each other. The method that authors use in this study is a qualitative method that is supported by research libraries. While the method of interpretation that authors use is the method of interpretation maudu'i, the authors chose this method because this method can be used as an excavator of lnter-Religious Education according to the Qur'an more comprehensively.

This is a research on sociology of religion, focusing on the issue of religious practices in a local community. Kampung Laut was chosen as the setting of this research for two reasons. First, the rituals of religion practices in the region are different from mainstream practices, which result in label and justification that their religiosity is not a part of or only a fragment of the mainstream religion and tend to be the target of correction. Second, this region raises conflicts among government institutions in relation to the rights of natural resources possession and utilization. The bad image built through this marginalization has formed Kampung Laut community as the one that is resistant and latent. This research used descriptive qualitative method with sociological approach. Rituals of religious practices that are different from the mainstream are explained on the basis of Weber’s theory of behavior categorized into value-oriented rationality.
