PREFACE:
This Unit on Pollution is the first part of an overall Unit on Ecology & Islam.
The purpose of this Unit is to inform the reader about major problems related to pollution,
nowadays, in the World. The Unit tries to touch every possible subject related to Pollution; not to
study them through, but to give the maximum chances for the reader to seize a big picture of the
problem. Positive and negative aspects are both exposed with an emphasis on the problems since
the aim is to provoke an awareness among the readers without exaggerating or causing panic or
passiveness before the overwhelming difficulty of the situation.
On the contrary, the unit tries to expose while reassuring. It is meant to prove that we all can do
something about pollution each one of us in our own ways.
However, some questions are open questions, which means nobody really has an answer for
them. These were included on purpose, first, to stimulate the imagination of the reader, second,
to provoke an awareness concerning the multiplicity of the challenges involved as far as a
National or an International cooperation is concerned.
Allah Ta’alah has foreseen the future and warned all the Muslims about the importance
of respecting our planet, and the great sins linked to the idea of wasting:
wasting our time, our youth, our money, our health. For all that we waste, we will be accountable
one day, a day called doom day.
And remember:
The Prophet said, "There are two blessings which many people lose:
(They are) Health and free time for doing good"
[Bukhari: Volume 8, Book 76, number 421. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas]
Muslims have to be active as far the Earth and its protection are concerned.
It is our duty; it is not a question of choice!
This unit addresses all Muslims, bigger and smaller, for a better world.
Insha Allah!
