This study conceptualizes a model of Islamic knowledge upbringings on university students' environmental behavior. This study extends the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior by addressing multidisciplinary studies (Islamic study and environmental management). This study contributes to the environmental management literature by identifying the environmental management attitude, environmental management norms, and environmental management perceived behavioral control towards environmental management behavior. Besides, this study contributes to the theory by integrating the mediating effect of Islamic knowledge and a moderating effect of Islamic upbringing. The expected result of this study is that Islamic values improved environmental behavior, and Islamic upbringing has a big impact on the relationship between environmental management attitude, environmental management norms and, environmental management perceived control with environmental behavior. Thus, this study shows that even though societies understood the importance of taking care of the environment, moral values and family values are critical in shaping society's environmental behavior. This study helps the educational policymakers and the government policymakers to be able to implement better environmental mitigation strategies. This study also helps in promoting Islamic values in addressing environmental issues faces by this generation.
