In the wake of a global environmental crisis, this one-day workshop is for anyone who would like to familiarise themselves with environmental themes from an Islamic perspective with the goal of taking action in their communities.
In order to achieve this, particpants explore a number of Islamic concepts such as: Tawhid (Oneness), Mizan (Balance), Fasad (Corruption), Fitra (Natural state) and Khilafah (Guardianship).
We reflect on the value of these concepts in the light of the environmental degradation taking place on the planet and explore what forms a coherent Islamic response might take to this. We also look at ingredients that might be necessary for developing strong and sustainable environmental networks within our communities, such that the guiding principles articulated through the Qur'an and Sunna can have value through our collective action.
Participants also learn about existing groups and campaigns and there are opportunities to network with fellow course participants. |
