Islamic boarding schools were established in order to educate people to understand and implement Islamic teachings by emphasizing the importance of religious morality as a way of life. In social and national life, Islamic boarding schools can play a major role in efforts to save the environment, among others by providing insight and awareness about the importance of protecting the environment as part of the practice of religious teachings.
