Our home planet Earth is undergoing rapid and sustained destruction of
its eco-systems. This is giving rise to unacceptable levels of pollution,
increasing damage to human habitations and ultimately threatening worldwide
population disruption. Muslims comprise at least one fifth of the human
community and they can contribute much to the thinking that is vital to
re-evaluate the future direction of the human community and save its home
for itself. Islam has a very strong environmental message and the Islamic
Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences has developed an
internationally recognised training method that identifies the Islamic
ethical position on these matters and at the same time draws the
attention of participants to the practical dimensions of this subject.

Objectives: By the end of the course participants
Will have a basic understanding of the ethical dimensions of
Islamic environmentalism in the Qur'an
The basis for practical action in the Shari'ah.
Understand the responsibility being an ambassador of God on earth
Learn practical steps in reducing energy consumption
Understand the responsibilities of the preservation of earth
for later generation
Understand the importance through the Sunnah not to be wasteful
Examine the Shari'ah and its institutions in an environmental context

The following themes in the Qur'an will be explored
Understanding Creator/Creation : Understanding man's place in creation
Qur'an, Creation and Conservation : Understanding man's responsibilities

Suitable For:
This course is designed as a main stream resource and is in
fact suitable for most participants. Ulema (Scholars), Madrasa
Teachers, mainstream teachers, students, Muslim or Non-Muslim
