Awareness of the importance of environmental conservation in the eco-tourism industry is increasing, and a fundamental understanding of Islamic values in the context of cleanliness plays a crucial role in striving to achieve environmental preservation goals. This study integrates Islamic teachings in the analysis of cleanliness education for the eco-tourism industry. A qualitative approach is employed in this study, with a focus on the analysis of Islamic religious texts and related literature sources. The results of the analysis indicate that in Islam, the concepts of taharah (purity), mizan (balance), and amanah (trust) play key roles in understanding cleanliness and environmental preservation. The approach to cleanliness education in Islam is also explored in this study. The findings provide a clear perspective on how Islamic teachings can be integrated into cleanliness education in the context of eco-tourism. This study offers a valuable theoretical framework for researchers, students, and stakeholders in the eco-tourism industry who are striving to apply Islamic principles in environmental conservation efforts. This framework can also assist in the development of effective cleanliness education programs within the eco-tourism industry. Thus, this study makes a significant contribution to the development of a sustainable eco-tourism industry based on Islamic values and a profound understanding of cleanliness.
