"The Earth is a mosque, and everything in it is sacred." This is the first line in Ibrahim Abdul Matin’s book, and it shows the clear connection between environmentalism and faith, Islam in specific.

Pophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "The world is green and beautiful and God has appointed you as His stewards over it. He sees how you acquit yourselves..." (Muslim).

How Much is Too Much? “Get out of the shower!” your little brother shouts as he bangs on the washroom door. “You’ve been in there for twenty minutes!”  The 20 minutes you spend in the shower, use up 400 liters of water. 

There is a clear consensus among scientists that human activity is changing the earth's climate and it is the most pressing problem facing humankind today. Our lifestyle is threatening life.

Waste and a lifestyle characterized by it, is behind many of the environmental problems we face today. Waste is something Allah hates. He says in the Quran: "Lo! the squanderers were ever brothers of the devils and the devil was ever an ingrate to his Lord."

Great tips on making this Ramadan simpler, less wasteful, and healthier for us & the environment. And this is the change where the Khalifas of the world, we stewards of God, are needed today.
