Climate change

As a man looks around himself and looks to his own self and within himself, he finds that there are hundred and one things in shaping and reshaping of which he has no hand, e.g. in determining the climate of the land in which he is born, in determining the time and place he will be born and where ? From an Islamic perspective we are responsible for the choices we make .We are tested by giving the responsibility willingly to look after the earth while we are living on it temporarily  Our species, though selected  to be a caretaker or steward [*khalifah*] on the earth, has been the cause of such corruption and devastation on it that we are in danger of ending life as we know it on our planet if we don’t act responsibly and start implementing environmental solutions . This current rate of climate change cannot be sustained, and the earth’s fine equilibrium [*mīzān*] may soon be lost. Please do your part in conserving and maintaining a safe environment for future generations
