The concept of cleanliness in the perspective of Abrahamic tradition: textual analysis
Nurul Aminah Mat Zain1, Shehu, Fatmir2.
This paper examines the concept of cleanliness and issues pertaining to the
environment in some of the major world religions. The authors explore the
universal values as transpired in the holy scriptures of the three Abrahamic
traditions dealing with the concept of cleanliness and issues of ecological
systems, such as environmental protection. A qualitative methodology that
covers content and textual analyses on the Holy Scriptures, views of
scholars and related materials are employed in this paper. The research
reveals that there are agreements on certain issues, such as the triad of
position - man, environment and God - shared by the three religions in their
approaches toward issues of the environment, specifically and in general.
