Abstract
Literature is a creative work that depicts, in its contents, all that is available in the
environment. An incontrovertible fact is the say that the environment has
appreciable impacts on literary works. The fact that ecocriticism is a relatively new
concept does not mean it is totally strange to Islamic literary studies. Based on this,
it will not be out of place to look into Arabic literary works of Northern Nigeria
authorship from the lens of ecocriticism given the strength and length of Islam and
Arabic literature in the region. Arabic language is the first language of reading and
writing in Nigeria as a whole with stronger presence in the North because
civilization in the region, to a large extent, is basically Islamic. It is therefore very
relevant to look into literary works of the region with a view to studying the
ecological features in them. This paper therefore sets out to look into how the
literary works in Arabic from the region accord the environment necessary
importance. The Qur’an and Sunnah that are principal foundations of Arabic
studies are the necessary pillars guiding the study. This study discovered that:
ecostudy is not alien to scholars in Arabic in Northern Nigeria; the importance of
ecological balance for the maintenance of friendly nature is well established in
Islam; creative writers in Arabic in Northern Nigeria, past and present, accord
sustaining friendly climate for the benefit of all importance in their works. The study
recommended that there is need for expansion in the attention given to ecological
issues in Arabic literary works of Northern Nigeria authorship.
