The Islamic Perspective on Climate Change
Do you know in Islam, the concept of Khilafah (stewardship) reminds us that we are caretakers of Allah's creation? The Quran teaches us to appreciate the balance of nature and to protect it.
The Quran indicates the key features which are:
Respect for Nature: The Quran highlights the importance of all living beings and their role in maintaining ecological balance.
Sustainability: Islam encourages us to use resources wisely and avoid wastefulness. The principle of moderation is emphasized in all aspects of life.
Collective Responsibility: We are urged to work together as a community to address environmental issues, fostering a spirit of cooperation and solidarity.
As professionals, we have a pivotal role in advocating for sustainable practices in our industries. Let's harness our skills and networks to promote initiatives that align with these values.
Together, we can make a difference for our planet and future generations.
JUMAAT MUBARAK!
