"As the world grapples with myriad environmental problems, a growing number of
studies shows the role of religion is key.

Religion influences people’s worldviews, including how we think about nature
and our roles within it. This is true of Islam, one of the world’s biggest and
fastest-growing religions.

Islamic teachings on protecting nature can help inform how we respond to the
ecological and climate crises. In particular, Australia can look to our
neighbour, Indonesia, where the “Green Islam” movement is growing.

So let’s take a closer look at how Islamic teachings promote care for nature,
establishing common ground for environmental action across faiths and
cultures."
