Islam and Environment

Good article that discuss corellation about Islam and how to protect our environment. So we can find that Islam is also care about life in a whole universe. I'm sorry for the bad english translate, to read from the real source please visit http://rioap.com/en/islam/islam-dan-lingkungan/


Later came the news that frequent earth, from which all living beings have suffered serious damage. Damage caused by many things. Overall environmental situation on earth that is inhabited by billions of human beings is not as of yore. Nature still shows keasriannya first, but now pollution is everywhere. Then who will have a big responsibility for any damage to this earth?

Islam is a peaceful religion that teaches people to live in accordance with the guidance of Al Quran and Sunnah. Has been described in the Qur'an was revealed to the Murabbi since Muhammed, that Islam is a religion that Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin the blessing for the universe. So is the duty of every man, who admitted he embraced Islam, bringing Islam to the welfare of the whole of nature not only humans, or even for a few.

Prosperity here is also preserves the environment that God has given to the life of all creatures. Human as one of the creatures that inhabit the earth and become the most perfect creatures than any other creature, should have thought and a better attention to her environment. What else is in sura 39 verse Faathir superbly explained: "He who has made you the caliphs in the earth ... .." The more cemented his position of humans on earth.

Ability to be caliph or leader to all creatures on earth is not an easy job. Because humans do not live alone on earth. There are many other living beings entrusted by God to be trustworthy. Amanah This became a serious duty of man to guard it. Earth and all its contents. But how do these creatures called human beings could become caliph and maintain the earth, while the human beings who have a passion that can also do damage?

With reasonable human thought that should have been more intelligent, humans should also be of this nature preserve. But in reality as we see today, the environmental damage occurs everywhere. Pollutants that damage the environment, human health even bother itself hard to overcome its existence. This is evidence that people also who are directly and indirectly cause damage to the earth.

Then how Islam talks about the environment? Explained in the Qur'an: "It has been visible damage on land and at sea caused by human hands, that God may feel to them, a party of (due to) their deeds, so they come back (to the right path)." (Sura Ar Rum 41)

God also states that damage to the earth both land and sea took place caused by man himself. Even the people mentioned here, means it can be said also that a party of Muslims entered as part of the human cause of damage. What kind of human? they are on the wrong path, do not obey all the commandments of God to be the caliph is good for all of Nature.

Not that a whole human being on earth does not care about the environment. Still there are some humans who care for the state of its environment. And a true Muslim caliphate bearer of peace and prosperity to all of this nature should be the people who most matter to the state of the environment. Back to study the Koran the word of God about life in the world. Back to the beaten path! Be Rabbani generation that uses his hands to make the earth more beautiful, not destroying it.

There is still time for humans to restore the environmental situation to be better than today. In fact, there is still time for Muslims to be the best leader to make the earth a pleasant stay. If you love Allah and His Messenger, and wants the earth which we live is still comfortable, it's time to make changes. Because God is trustworthy guard!

We are taught to live harmoniously with nature around us, with fellow human beings and with God Almighty. Allah says: "And We sent thee not, but for (a) rahmatan lil'alamiin" (Surah 21: 107).

This view is supposed to make people aware that human life is part of her life environment. Man is part of the ecosystem. It's not outside the ecosystem. If the ecosystem is damaged, then the people will also suffer. Hopefully, people in general and Muslims in particular will be aware of the laws governing the environment from Allah and commitment to environmental issues.
