In a world where environmental crises have become a global challenge, exploring the spiritual roots of the human-nature relationship in religious traditions opens new horizons for intercultural dialogue. Accordingly, this research presents a comparative analysis of the Rain Prayer in Nahj al-Balagha and Buddhist nature invocations to analyze the similarities and differences between these two texts in addressing nature and ecological crises. The study reveals that both texts adopt a holistic view, considering nature as central to understanding the truth of existence: in Islam, as divine signs (ayat) reflecting human dependence on God's mercy, and in Buddhism, as a mirror for realizing interdependence (pratītyasamutpāda) and impermanence (anicca). Key commonalities include an emphasis on humility toward cosmic laws, environmental responsibility, and a comprehensive approach to crises. In contrast, a fundamental difference lies in their theological frameworks: the Islamic Rain Prayer centers on a vertical human-God relationship and divine will, whereas Buddhist nature invocations focus on karma and harmony with cosmic rhythms. The findings highlight the necessity of intercultural dialogue to strengthen environmental ethics – a discourse that could emerge as a new paradigm in international relations.
