DUBAI â The Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) recently organised a lecture on Islamic interpretation of the environment as embodied in the verses of the Holy Quran. According to EEG chairperson Habiba Al Marashi, despite the fact that concerns about the environment have been echoed in the last 300-400 years, the nucleus of ecological thinking dates back 1,400 years ago when the Holy Quran was compiled.
âKey concepts relating to the environment like ecological balance, biological diversity, environmental stewardship, rational consumption and conservation of resources have repeatedly appeared in the verses of the Holy Quran,â Al Marashi said.| "Killing infidels definitely brings the environment into better balance. It's in our Holy Book. You could look it up." |
