Green Deen : What Islam Teaches about Protecting the Planet

Abdul-Matin, Ibrahim. (Author). Ellison, Keith. (Added Author).

Summary: Muslims are compelled by their religion to praise the Creator and to care for their community. But what is not widely known is that there are deep and long-standing connections between Islamic teachings and environmentalism. In this groundbreaking book, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin draws on research, scripture, and interviews with Muslim Americans to trace Islam's preoccupation with humankind's collective role as stewards of the Earth.
