Abstract

Revitalization of Islamic philanthropy is a strategic step in supporting sustainable development based on the values of justice and ecosystem balance. This article examines the role of the Infaq Management Institute (LMI) in realizing the eco-pesantren concept as an effort to create a green economy. This approach focuses on the integration of pesantren-based education with an environmentally friendly lifestyle. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection through literature studies, interviews, and observations on LMI activities related to the eco-pesantren program. The results of the study indicate that LMI has a central role in integrating the principles of Islamic philanthropy with the practice of pesantren-based environmental management which has an impact on increasing santri's concern for the environment, saving operational costs of pesantren through energy efficiency and waste management. The findings indicate that the revitalization of Islamic philanthropy through eco-pesantren can be a catalyst for change towards environmental sustainability (SDGs) and community welfare, especially in terms of increasing awareness in environmental management, poverty alleviation, and inclusive economic growth. Thus, this approach can be an ideal model to be applied in various regions, making Islamic philanthropy the main driver in realizing a just green economy.
