The issue of environmental pollution is a global concern faced by countries worldwide. It demands integrated efforts related to the preservation and conservation of the environment. Even the nation hosting the Holy Land of Islam, Mecca and Medina, grapples with the same issue. The gathering of millions of Muslims in the Holy Land during the annual Hajj pilgrimage has the potential to exacerbate environmental pollution if not handled and managed properly. Ironically, the issue of environmental pollution during the Hajj season is one that receives comparatively less attention, including from Malaysian pilgrims. The study that employs a qualitative approach and adopts a content analysis method involving document analysis protocols attempts to dissect the issue of pollution and environmental preservation from an Islamic perspective, based on sacred texts and the maq??id al-shar?’ah. The study found that Islam, through its sacred texts, demands the proper preservation of the environment. The Hajj season, which gathers millions of Muslims every year, should be the main field for practicing actions that lead to environmental conservation. Therefore, awareness campaigns towards this goal must be intensified starting from specially organized Hajj courses by Tabung Haji.
