INTRODUCTION
As environmental and climate changes become a
global strategic issue affecting world security and
stability, international attention is increasing. All
people around the world should take their
responsibility and contribute to maintaining the
balance of the earth. It is estimated that there are
approximately 1.6 billion Muslims in the world today,
representing more than 20% of the world's population.
No one is immune from the effects of climate change,
and Muslims must bear their share of the
responsibility.[1]
The issue of environmental protection has always
been considered one of the urgent issues. From the
point of view of Islam, cleanliness is the responsibility
of older members of society. Representatives of the
older generation should set an example for young
people in protecting the environment and preserving
cleanliness, and educate them in this matter. We
should always remember the words of our
grandfathers and grandmothers: don't spit in the
water, don't sweep the garbage into the ditches, don't
throw garbage on the streets, and don't kill the plants,

and we should teach the same to the youth. There is
also a proverb among our people: "If you cut one, plant
ten." In fact, a sapling we cut down today can become
a tree someday and contribute to enriching the air with
oxygen.
Islamic traditions, which are the basis of everyday life
of Uzbeks, for centuries encouraged people to be neat,
clean, not to pollute the earth, water, and air. Every
living creature created by God - plants, animals, etc. is
required to be treated with love and compassion. In
general, according to the religion of Islam, the
preservation of existence and the correct attitude
towards existence in general are widely accepted.
In verse 53 of Surah Taho, Allah describes the earth as
follows:
"He made the earth a cradle (dwelling place) for you
and made paths in it and sent down water (rain, snow)
from the sky. So, We brought forth with it (water)
different kinds of plants".[2] Mother nature is adapted
for humans in such a way that all the forces in nature
serve only for the benefit of humans. But mother
nature is so delicate that any damage done to it can
lead to huge irreparable mistakes in the future. For
example, there are such habits as polluting the
environment, throwing waste into the water, cutting
growing crops and trees in vain.
According to Islam, there is animate and inanimate
nature without a cause it is forbidden to harm their
blessings. This ban is often a religious ban. It is
explained through the concept of "uvol" which
represents its essence. Also based on Uvol people's
beliefs about certain things lie. Islam teaches people
not to harm animals, to the animal world calls to be
kind. In the Holy Qur'an, Allah Ta'ala says everything on
Earth how to treat things, including animals
He gave us a detailed explanation of what is needed.[3]
According to the content of Islam, people are obliged
to treat animals and plants with courtesy. This matter
is explained in detail in the verses of the Holy Qur'an.
For example, just as humans have rights in the world of
vegetation, the world of vegetation also has rights in
humans.
The Holy Qur'an describes in detail how humans should
treat all things on earth, including the animal world.
Many verses explain to Muslims the purpose of God's
creation of the animal world.
In verse 29 of Surah Al-Baqarah of the Holy Qur'an, "He
is the One who created everything on earth for you",
that is, Allah created the earth as a space for the human
being, who is His caliph on earth, to live. Since all the
things on the earth are created for man, in turn, every
person should have a reasonable attitude towards
them and take care of them. Keeping soil, water, air
and other things clean and protecting them from
polluting and harmful things is a commandment of
Islam.[4]

Many holy shrines located in Khorezm oasis are Islamic
connected with the name of scholars. Particular
attention is paid to the cleanliness of the religious
shrines, and beautification activities are carried out on
a regular basis.
Various objects surrounding Kadamjo served as a
special small reserve. Regardless of whether the
shrines were located in the desert or remote rural
areas or in the city, it was under public control that no
one harmed the natural environment of the shrine.
Therefore, they are considered "natural reserves"
because rare plants and animals have been preserved
in the territory of the shrines. For example, in the
"Urkut Bobo" shrine, located in the Sayot village of
Khiva district, various rare plants and fruits are grown,
but local residents do not eat their fruits. There are
reports that a person who does not follow this
prohibition is insane.[5]
To sum up, the culture of environmental protection of
the local population has been formed based on
planting crops in the area of shrines, cutting down
ancient trees, and banning the hunting of rare
creatures.
