Cleanliness is half of religion: Ecology and responsibility in Islamic history
We can see co-operation and mutual help in the cosmos among creatures that attempt to maintain their existence and, if they are animate, their lives, and to fulfill their functions in the midst of constant change and revolution. For example, the elements hurry to aid animate beings, the clouds to he...

| 520 | |a We can see co-operation and mutual help in the cosmos among creatures that attempt to maintain their existence and, if they are animate, their lives, and to fulfill their functions in the midst of constant change and revolution. For example, the elements hurry to aid animate beings, the clouds to help the vegetable kingdom, the vegetable kingdom to help the animal kingdom and the animal kingdom to help the human kingdom. Milk flows from the breast like the spring of Paradise to nourish the infant. The fact that the needs of animate beings are supplied and that they are sustained in a way that transcends their capacity from unexpected places - the replenishing of the body’s cells with particles of food directed by their Sustainer and so used in His merciful hands — all of these and numerous other examples of the truth of co-operation demonstrate the universal and compassionate lordship of the Sustainer of all Worlds, Who administers the cosmos like a palace and garden. This universal co-operation and mutual help are visible throughout the cosmos. Comprehensive equilibrium and all-embracing preservation prevail with the utmost regularity in all things from the planets to the limbs and bodily particles of animate beings, whose adorning pen ranges over the whole gilded face of the heavens, the decorated face of the earth and the delicate faces of flowers, the order that prevails over all things from the Milky Way and the solar system down to plants such as corn and pomegranates, the assigning of duties to all things from the sun and the moon, the elements and the clouds, down to honeybees. All these great truths testify to, and their testimony forms, the second wing of the testimony offered by the cosmos. We could say that the cosmos is a divine garden and everything in it has been created to maintain order in this garden. In this chapter, we draw from the Qur’an, Islamic tradition and Islamic codes of conduct to demonstrate that ecological concern is an integral part of Islamic faith. | ||
