Islam makes it obligatory to protect nature, says Wan Salim.
Penang mufti Wan Salim Mohd Noor says Islam obligates its followers to care for the environment.
Speaking to FMT, Wan Salim Mohd Noor said there were Muslims in Malaysia who seemed to have forgotten that the Islamic concept of worship covers behaviour in all aspects of life and in one’s relationship with everything in creation. Maketab, a former president of the Malaysian Nature Society, recently told FMT he believed Malaysian Muslims, in their zeal for such rituals, had failed to see the importance Islam places on their obligation to care for the environment.
He pointed out that many verses of the Quran forbid believers from damaging nature and he cited three of them: Al-Baqarah: 60, Al-A’raf: 74 and Al-Syu’ara: 77.“Since humans are the only agents that spoil the environment through pollution or irresponsible development, humans must be taught to be more aware of protecting the environment,” he said.
