I am working on a publication on the religious identification of an environmental crisis. I will be very grateful for the literature hint on this subject from an Islamic perspective.
The Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences (IFEES), with a site at https://www.ifees.org.uk/, gathers and interprets Islamic texts that pertain to ecology and formulates educational and conservation projects based on such principles.
Dear Oliver, thanks for the hint. It seems very promising and helpful.
Regards,
Richard
“And do no mischief on the earth after it has been set in order: that will be best for you, if ye have Faith” (Surat Al A’raf, verse 85)
And Prophet Mohamed SAW said “If a Muslim plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, it is regarded as a charitable gift (sadaqah) for him.” (Bukhari)
Dear Omar,
thanks a lot for the verses. But I need to show the deepest source of the ecological crisis. In my opinion, it is disobedience to the Creator. Could you give me some hints on this?
Regards,
Richard
Absolutely. Allah mentions in Surah Ash-shu'ara verse 151 and 152 that those who spread corruption throughout the land are transgressors. And actually, transgression is disobedience to Allah's commands.
"And do not follow the command of the transgressors,"
"Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."
-Surah Ash-Shu'ara, Ayah 151-152
