Islam and the Environment

The Qur’an addresses not only human beings, but also the cosmos. All creatures participate in Islam. It is much easier to be able to develop an environmental philosophy which will not be incongruent or artificial as if you would add an artificial tail to a donkey. It is part and parcel of the Islamic world view.”

Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Contemporary Man, between the Rim and the Axis

Come you lost Atoms to your Centre draw,
And be the Eternal Mirror that you saw :
Rays that have wander’d into Darkness wide
Return, and back into your Sun subside.
(Farīd al-Din ‘Attār)
