“The world is sweet and verdant green, and Allah appoints you to be His regents in it, and will see how you acquit yourselves.” 

- Sunnah of the Prophet

 

“The ethical system of Islam furnishes us with a world-view which enables us to ask environmentally appropriate questions, to draw up the right balance sheet of possibilities, and to properly weigh the environmental costs and benefits of what we want, what we can do within the ethical boundaries established by Allah, without violating the rights of His other creations.”
