Amazing! <br /><br />there are some beautiful writings out there about islam and the environment. <br /><br />Shaykh Charles Le Gai Eaton has a chapter called "The Earth's Complaint" in his book Remembering God, and a chapter called "Art, Environment, and Mysticism" in his book Islam & The Destiny of Man.<br /><br />both books are essential reading.<br /><br />Shaykha Camille Helminski also has a huuge book on the subject called:<br /><br />The Book of Nature: A Sourcebook of Spiritual Perspectives on Nature and the Environment<br /><br />havent read it, but looks interesting. there's some sample chapters from the book that you can download here:<br />http://thebook.org/<br />(also too lazy to read it, but you might)NZhttp://riyada.hadithuna.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573368687554384299.post-18175214575691658832009-11-09T17:44:54.729+02:002009-11-09T17:44:54.729+02:00May your friend succeed in her efforts for saving ...May your friend succeed in her efforts for saving the environment. For me, a telling hadith was the one asking us not to waste water even if we are performing wudu at a fast moving river of fresh water!mezbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450639860657867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573368687554384299.post-32569493320683417362009-11-08T20:52:14.688+02:002009-11-08T20:52:14.688+02:00It's a great piece of writing, well done.

I particularly l...Hey cairo it's been a while,<br /><br />I particularly loved the part when you said, "Would love to hear what you all think!" coz here's what i think: I found something missing when I read this post of yours - examples to show how Egyptians arent as environmentally friendly and why they should really really "Go Green". But perhaps that's because whenever my ignorant self think Egypt, i think vast deserts and pyramids. <br /><br />"Water in particular is given special importance in the Qur’an and Hadith. “We made from water every living thing,” (21:30). One way the Prophet saved water was by creating haram zones near water sources...... " Here, Im "forced" to believe that Egyptians are polluting their waters in more ways than one. Again, pardon my ignorance but do people still wash clothes and bathe in the rivers like they do back in those ancient times?<br /><br />I feel that you could have used more transition words to make the article flow like the River Nile. It currently sounded like a list. But then again, having reread ur post, I realised that you might probably be writing about the Prophet and the environment. So the above might not apply.(I'm losing points with this comment arent I?) <br /><br />Here's hoping that the work u and ur friend put in goes a long way in making a change in Egypt. The Arabs has a saying that goes: "Do not look down on any small acts for the mountains are made from small pebbles." (I heard it during the khutbah for Friday prayers a couple of days ago.)marzukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992749943748434474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573368687554384299.post-20231032078409072082009-11-06T09:20:06.424+02:002009-11-06T09:20:06.424+02:00Another lovely post depicting the true Islam, wher...Another lovely post depicting the true Islam, where mercy towards animals is an obligation, let alone to humans!<br /><br />There is a Hadith telling the story of a woman who kept a cat locked up, tortured her and denied her food and shelter until the cat died, that woman was granted "Hell" for such an act.Shahrazadhttp://www.thoughtreservoir.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573368687554384299.post-71097710012423164012009-11-04T13:02:04.354+02:002009-11-04T13:02:04.354+02:00=) love it!
