Islam and the Environment by
Aroba Hafeez As we delve into the twenty-first century the profound changes humankind has begot in the context of the natural world become ever so apparent. As the Biodiversity crisis plays out, whole populations are quickly beginning to dwindle eventually to be completely wiped out. The dramatic nature of this crisis necessitates urgent action on the part of all people. Muslims represent one-fifth of the world population. Islamic scripture repeatedly highlights the environment. However, very seldom is the connection between Islam and the environment distinctively established. This presentation introduces basic fundamental perspectives and ethical principals of Islamic theology on the environment.
