The Muslim is an Environmentalist - What Is Islam ?

“If the final Hour reaches upon one of you while there is a sapling in his hand, then finish planting it.” Prophet Muhammad (saw) (Ibn Hanbal, 3/184) Allah (swt) has introduced people to the environment, told them the meaning codes of the universe, and taught them how to develop a relationship with nature since the day their life on earth has begun. There are numerous verses in the Holy Qur’an expressing the functioning of the universe, the balance and order between creatures, the purpose of creation of each and that they are the evidences of the existence, power and wisdom of Allah.
