<p><bold>Reason:</bold> The article, &#x2018;<italic>A religious discourse on water and environmental conservation issues: An interfaith approach</italic>&#x2019;, by Mufid et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT0001">2023</xref>), published online on 21 September 2023, has been retracted by the Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher, due to unreliable findings.</p>
<p>This retraction follows post-publication concerns that the findings reported in this article relied on material used without appropriate attribution or permission. Removing the affected material would undermine the article&#x2019;s results and conclusions. Because the article&#x2019;s analysis relies on the affected material, the reliability of the article&#x2019;s arguments cannot be assured.</p>
<p>For this reason, the Editor-in-Chief and Publisher no longer have confidence in the article&#x2019;s reliability, and it has therefore been retracted.</p>
<p>The authors were given the opportunity to register agreement or disagreement with this retraction. A record of any response received has been retained.</p>
<p>The original article will remain available online to preserve the scholarly record but will be clearly identified as retracted.</p>
