Islam provides solutions to various environmental problems and Islamic principles are essential for environmental conservation. Therefore, the integration of tauhidic elements is required in providing a more comprehensive solution for environmental conservation. However, in providing guidance for the implementation of the integration of tauhidic elements for environmental conservation (TEFEC), a conceptual framework for TEFEC needs to be developed. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop a conceptual framework for TEFEC based on literature review analysis and synthesis. The literature review was based on articles taken from Ebscohost Discovery through the database of PTSL library, UKM, Researchgate and Google Scholar. Books related to environmental education from the Islamic perspective, as well as related thesis and proceedings were also considered. The papers analyzed were those published from 2010 to 2018, encompassing a period of 8 years. The findings show that in order to integrate TEFEC, three relationships need to be maintained in the environmental conservation efforts i.e., relationship with the creator (Allah), with fellow human beings and the environment. Integration of TEFEC can also be applied through three approaches i.e., through teachings from the al-Quran, the hadith and Islamic values that are related to environmental conservation. Investigation of the content of the al-Quran verses, the hadiths or the as-Sunnah and the Islamic values can enhance environmental value, environmental knowledge, and attitude. Additionally, environmental problem solving skills are also needed. The final goal of the conceptual framework for TEFEC is to create responsible behavior toward the environment. The conceptual framework for integration of TEFEC can be applied in environmental education to create a society that is responsible for conservation of the environment based on Islam.
