Ecological issues such as environmental and animal protection are deeply rooted in Islam.
Islam and Ecology
„When a Muslim plants a tree or sows a field, and a human, bird, or animal eats from it, it is regarded as a charitable act for him.“
If the meat is “halal,” Muslims are allowed to eat it. But is that really all?
Islam and Animal Welfare
Is factory farming and the unethical treatment of animals obsolete, and what kind of relationship did the Prophet have with animals?
Islam views biological diversity as a reflection of God’s wisdom and omnipotence
and as a means of supporting human development.
Islam and Protection of Species
„All living creatures on earth, whether they walk or fly with wings, are communities like you.“(Surah Al-An’am, verse 38)
Humans are God’s vicegerents (“Khalifah”) on earth.
Islam and Environmental Protection
Islam obliges us to protect water and soil, plants and animals as parts of divine creation.
“Eat and drink, but do not be excessive! He (Allah) does not love the excessive.“(Sure 7 , verse 31)
Islam and Sustainability
This verse encourages Muslims to use the blessings of creation in moderation, avoid waste, and manage resources sustainably.
AMANA-LIFE
Sustainability in Islam
Ecology, Environmental Protection, Animal Welfare, Species Protection
The topics of ecology, environmental protection, nature conservation and animal welfare are highly relevant and increasingly so in view of the growing problems facing humanity. For this reason, every Muslim must deal with these issues.
The Halal Leben e.V. attaches great importance to the promotion and dissemination of sustainable behavior for people, nature and the environment. We are convinced that ISLAM can provide strong impulses for ecological issues such as sustainable nutrition, animal welfare and environmental protection and that the Islamic religious communities are of strategic importance here. After all, we are dealing with problems that affect the whole of humanity. As an association, we believe that dealing with the issues of sustainability can prove to be a bridge between cultures and religions, on the other hand, cultures and religions show that they are quite inclined and able to prioritize common interests.
Allah (c.c.) has created man according to a certain “fitra (nature)”. He has appointed him as the governor of Allah on earth “Khalifa”. The entire creation has therefore been entrusted to man. This principle is called “Amana” in ISLAM. The association has therefore launched a new project called “AMANA-LIFE”.
