Abrahamic religions consider nature to be disposed for humans. Therefore, they have been accused of environmental crises. This article presents a comparative analysis of the moral dignity of the environment from the perspective of Islam and Christianity. Definitely an independent moral dignity cannot be proved for environment in Christianity and Islam; rather only a non-independent moral dignity may be proved for environment, because it is desirable on the one hand - which is one of the features of moral values – and because of the moral responsibility that human undertake in both religions, on the other hand. Referring to the sacred texts of Islam and Christianity, I found that Islam has acted more comprehensively and accurately in proving the non-independent moral dignity of the environment. My result is that I reject the mentioned accusation against Abrahamic religions and I prove the superiority of Islam in this field.
