Simply put, tadabbur is a reflection, thinking deeply to be able to take meaning and wisdom from a particular event or phenomenon. With tadabbur, a person will be able to know something better and not easily prejudiced and better at being grateful.
Meanwhile, the word nature according to the Big Indonesian Dictionary is everything that is not man-made in heaven and earth. According to the Islamic view, nature is also used to move human emotions and feelings towards the greatness of Allah Almighty and the awareness of how small man is before Him.
Thus, tadabbur alam is a learning activity in order to recognize everything in heaven and earth, as well as to recognize and love Allah Almighty further. With tadabbur alam, humans can be closer to nature and also its God, so that we can maintain and preserve nature and carry out His commands.

In tadabbur alam the participants studied the Qawwniyah Verse and the Qouliyyah Verse. The Qawwniyah verse is a tool that shows the power of Allah in creating the universe. While Ayat Qouliyyah is a verse of the Qur’an as a source of law that teaches about moral values and good behavior in social order. Furthermore, this natural tadabbur also inserts mitigative messages in the face of natural disasters.
“May Allah grant the night of lailatul qadar for all of us. Hopefully this can also bring us closer to always protecting the nature around us with a mitigative spirit and empowered to face disasters,” said Achmad Lukman as Humanitarian Academy Manager DMC Dompet Dhuafa.
Tadabbur Alam aims to increase our faith and sincerity in facing disasters and disasters that occur in the world.

The Qur’an mentions that disasters can occur as a result of human ugliness and tyranny on earth.
“Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by (reason of) what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of (the consequence of) what they have done that perhaps they will return (to righteousness).” (QS. Ar-Rum: 41-42).
Allah (swt) also mentions that disasters can also occur as punishment for the disbelief of the world and the iniquity of man. As in verses Al-Baqarah verses 11-12.
“And when it is said to them, “Do not cause corruption on the earth,” they say, “We are but reformers. Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive (it) not.” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 11-12). (Dompet Dhuafa/DMC)
