Description
This Element explores environmental ethics in Islam, revealing that Islamic culture and civilization have long been rich in environmental concerns. At its core, this work argues that Islam offers unique considerations for human-nature relationships, with Muslim commentators drawing on the Qur'an and Sunnah to develop eco-ethical principles.
Protecting and conserving the environment are not only moral duties but also obligations in Islam. This book presents an Islamic environmental ethical system that provides both conceptual paradigms and operational components for achieving environmental justice and sustainable development.
With its focus on the intersection of faith and the natural world, this Element offers a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions about the role of religion in shaping our relationship with the environment.
