Book Talk: An Introduction to Qur’anic Ecology and Resonances with Laudato Si’ by Farhana Mayer

In this book talk, Farhana Mayer presents her book, 'An Introduction to Qur’anic Ecology and Resonances with Laudato Si’, which explores Qur’an-based theological and ethical principles applicable to integral ecology. The book serves as a vital guide for Muslims addressing today’s ecological and environmental challenges, drawing strong parallels with the themes in Pope Francis’s 'Laudato Si’. Farhana delves into central Qur’anic concepts, such as the interconnected unity of all creation, the innate nature of God and humankind, and the principles of mercy, balance, justice, and moderation. She also discusses key critiques of human actions from an Islamic perspective, which align closely with Catholic teachings.
