Abstract
In religious sciences, it is believed that the beginning of the creation of man was from the earth, that God created the blessed and exalted man from the earth is itself a proof of its value and importance. Soil as the raw material of human creation is one of the elements that accommodate most of human needs. Soil is a valuable element in the continuity of the earth and the life of every living thing depends on it, in fact, saving the lives of all creatures is related to saving the lives of this vital substance.
In conducting this research, the library method as well as authentic religious books and sources, especially Quranic verses, authentic and famous meanings and interpretations, and Islamic traditions have been used. In general, all its verses and translations from the site of the Islamic Encyclopedia, as well as the books of Nahj al-Balaghah, Baharalanvar, sample commentary, guide commentary, sufficient principles and the Holy Quran and about 60 verses of the Quran were used to extract data and analyze them.
The Qur'an considers the creation of man from dust. The meaning of soil is the same as mud (mud) which is a combination of water and soil. This issue also deserves attention; (Romans 20) Our environment, water, soil and air, which are the greatest divine blessings for humanity, are like a chain called the chain of interconnected and interdependent life, the removal of each of which is equal to the death and destruction of life. The soil is beautiful. The soil absorbs seeds and water:) that you see the earth barren, you see the earth dry (and lifeless), (Fossilat / 39). The living soil carries us and the dead bury us: (Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together, Did we not make the earth the center of human society, ( Morsalat/25). This divine blessing is made in a way that is easy for agriculture and to build a rigid building.
Soil is the place where plants grow and can be considered as the main element of life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the need for soil and land from the perspective of the Creator. Many verses of the Holy Qur'an address the importance of soil, which shows the high importance of soil and earth in the Qur'an. In verses of the Holy Qur'an, God has considered this life cycle to be interconnected and continuous; The word earth is used more than 40 times and the word mud is used 12 times in the Qur'an. In many cases, soil is mentioned as a place of human sustenance. It is understood from the teachings and beliefs that the soil is sacred and valuable (necessity), the Muslim man has rights, responsibilities and limitations against the soil, and he must protect this divine blessing well (conservation), and he must also preserve it. And its health to strive.
