They both advocate for the protection of our planet and our environment from unsustainable practices and actions.<br><\/p>\n\n<p><em>Praising him are the seven Heavens, and the earth, and everyone in them.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>There is not a thing that does not glorify Him with praise, but you do not understand&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>their praises. He is indeed forbearing and forgiving (Quran 17:44).<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n<p>Islam recognizes that every creation in the Heavens and on Earth praises and glorifies Allah as the Creator. Yet, as mortal human beings, can we perceive the praises and glorification made by the innumerable species coexisting with us on this planet and beyond? The Quran, offers a wealth of insight and perspective on Islamic cosmology and how to care for the planet.<br><\/p>\n\n<p>The Quran has also foretold of the imminent dangers brought by destructive human activities, such as the ones we are facing now with the advancing climate crisis:.<br><\/p>\n\n<p><em>Corruption has appeared on land and sea as a result of people\u2019s actions and He will make them taste the consequences of some of their own actions so that they may turn back\u201d (Quran 30:41).&nbsp;<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, the destruction of the planet &#8211; the loss of biodiversity and overexploitation of natural resources on both the land and seas, that we witness today, were foretold by the Islamic holy book. Across the Middle East and North Africa region, we have seen disasters such as storms, droughts, fires and floods, spilling into our cities and homes, claiming lives and livelihoods. The impacts of climate change are impossible to ignore. They are becoming more severe, intense and frequent, an urgent threat to the delicate balance between nature and humankind.<br><\/p>\n\n<p>Nature is out of balance and we feel it is our responsibility to respond.

Human agency resides in the Islamic principle of <em>al-\u2018amr al-ma\u2019ruf wa al-nahy al-munkar<\/em> (the promotion of good and prevention of evil)(among others in Quran 9:112 and 31:17). Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) specifically teaches the principle of human agency by saying:<br><\/p>\n\n<p><em>Whosoever of you see evil [or destruction], let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart\u2014and that is the weakest faith (Shahih Muslim No.34).<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n<p>Islam provides a fountain of wisdom on how to \u201cwalk gently upon the earth\u201d, and showcase love and care for the planet and <em>all<\/em> of Allah\u2019s creation. The Quran challenges Muslims and non-Muslims alike to think, reflect on and ponder the wonders of the universe and His creation:&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n<p><em>On earth, there are signs for those with sure faith\u2014and in yourselves too, do you not see?\u2014 in the sky is your sustenance and all that you are promised (Quran 51:20-22).<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n<p>God\u2019s creations deserve protection from all of us\u2026We humans, as stewards of this earth, should take care of it and this is an urgent responsibility we share, more now than ever before.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Nature is out of balance and we feel it is our responsibility to respond.
