Exploring Renewable Water Energy through Quranic Verses and Scientific Insights

Abstract

The intersection of religious thought and scientific understanding offers valuable insights into sustainability, particularly in the context of renewable energy. This paper explores the concept of renewable water energy through the lens of Quranic verses, integrating these perspectives with modern scientific insights into water-based energy sources such as hydropower, tidal energy, and wave energy. The Quranic emphasis on water as a life-sustaining force is mirrored in the scientific recognition of water's potential as an inexhaustible source of energy. Quranic references to water as a blessing and a resource for human prosperity underscore the ethical responsibility of preserving natural resources and utilizing them sustainably. Drawing from a range of scientific studies, this paper analyzes how water energy technologies can contribute to environmental conservation and energy security. The discussion also highlights the moral imperatives derived from Islamic teachings that align with global efforts to transition to clean, renewable energy sources. By bridging spiritual perspectives and scientific innovation, this research aims to deepen the understanding of water energy’s potential in addressing contemporary energy and environmental challenges.
