Green Deen: What Islam Teaches about Protecting the Planet

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 Islamâ€™s preoccupation with humankindâ€™s collective role as stewards of the Earth. Abdul-Matin points out that the Prophet Muhammad declared that â€œthe Earth is a mosque.â€

Deen means â€œpathâ€ or â€œwayâ€ in Arabic. Abdul-Matin offers dozens of examples of how Muslims can follow, and already are following, a Green Deen in four areas: â€œwaste, watts (energy), water, and food.â€ At last, people of all beliefs can appreciate the gifts and contributions that Islam and Muslims bring to the environmental movement.
