This book aims to increase awareness about the current state of our
environment and Islamic injunctions to play our part in protecting
it as guardians of Creation ("We appointed you viceroys in the
earth after them, that We might see how you behave.", Yunus/Jonah
[10] 14). It includes some disconcerting facts about the current
state of affairs, but hopes this will serve as inspiration for
positive action (oftentimes saving money at the same time). It is
organised around four key areas of Islamic life (beliefs, worship,
transactions and moral character), reflecting on Islamic teachings,
the current situation and then giving examples of practical ways we
might please God by being a good guardian. With a long-standing
interest in the environment, Rianne C. ten Veen has written this
book as part of her struggle for the environment. With two Master
degrees and a Diploma in Environmental Policy, she is a
humanitarian aid worker in her day time job and part of the
management team of the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and
Environmental Sciences (IFEES) outside her day job. She is a
passionate researcher and activist on justice for people and the
environment.
