The Environmental Spirit of Islam: ISNA Green Initiative Team

The environmental spirit of Islam is manifested principally in six ways: through the Oneness of Allah and His creation (tawhid), Justice (Adl), compassionate stewardship (Khalifa), signs of the Creator (Ayat), trust with the Creator (Amana), and living in just balance with nature (Mizan). This discussion is led through the optics of faith in action as manifested by the various works and activities of the ISNA Green Initiative Team which is putting the core environmental tenets of Islam into practice. It also discusses stewardship as a collective responsibility to care for Mother Earth and each other across all faiths, nationalities, and ethnicities through the areas of advocacy, environmental justice, and personal lifestyle choices and consumption.
