Abstract
This study aims to contextualize the hadiths that talk about the importance of planting trees, but
in this case the authors link it to the context of dealing with the Doomsday News phenomenon.
Refers to the dissemination of information that often describes a doomsday situation or an
impending catastrophe. Although the hadith does not specifically address this phenomenon,
there is relevance that can be explored for planting trees as a response to people's concerns
about an uncertain future. This study uses a qualitative approach by analyzing hadiths and
related literature which provide insights about the Doomsday News. Data was collected through
a literature study of hadith books as well as relevant religious literature through the social,
historical, and religious background of the hadith and contextualized to society. The results of
this study are expected to provide an in-depth understanding of the message contained in the
hadith with the Doomsday News phenomenon. This research can provide practical guidance for
the community in dealing with anxiety and uncertainty regarding the future, by prioritizing
environmental values. As well as being able to contribute to religious understanding regarding
human responsibility in providing a more holistic view when facing frightening news about the
future. In addition, this research can also be a basis for further research on the relationship
between religion, the environment, and actual social issues.
