The objective of this research was to investigate ecological and ethical themes in two Arabians, “al-Najm al-Kabīr” and “Fī Jazīrah al-Nūr,” through ecocritical and virtue ethics approaches. The data collection method involved an in-depth analysis of selected primary texts. The research findings indicated that both stories contain significant values pertaining to ecological balance and ethical conduct, which are pertinent in the global context for sustainable development and moral education. The conclusion of this research was that Arabian fairytales were not only a means of entertainment but also a robust educational instrument in promoting environmental awareness and sustainability. This research makes a novel contribution to the field by employing an innovative approach to analysing traditional fairy tales through the lenses of ecocriticism and virtue ethics. However, it is not without limitations. The scale of the analysis is constrained to two stories and the focus is on the Arabic context only. To advance the field, it would be beneficial to expand the scope of the sample and include more cultural perspectives, as well as explore broader socio-cultural influences on the development of these stories.
