Islam’s view of nature and environment is emotional, moral, spiritual and guiding
In Islam, the most comprehensive view and the most appropriate way of interacting with nature and the environment have been described. God has created the universe and all the phenomena as beautiful, logical and harmonious, and we should use the nature appropriately, avoiding the destruction or contamination of it with wrongful encroachment-- which can afflict societies with problems and calamities. Islam's view toward nature and environment --both living and non-living-- is emotional, moral, spiritual and guiding, and the enjoyment of natural blessings is based on sound, just, wise, balanced and constructive principles. The ultimate goal of Islam is to enable all generations to enjoy the divine blessings; and to create a healthy and peaceful society without gaps between various social classes and ready for moving toward growth and prosperity. Thus, the religious obligations are there to maintain balance and equilibrium in the enjoyment of natural blessings while avoiding excessive use and offending others.
