Request for Assistance in Greening Muslim Community Activities
Salaam alaikum everyone,
I was contacted by Kashif Shaikh who is the Toronto Representative of Greening Sacred Spaces and Coordinator of Revitalizing the Environmental Ethics in Islam to spread the word about getting Muslims involved in environmental/green causes.
"Please check out faith-commongood.net, ifees.org, and ienviro.ca as well as please provide suggestions on activities and ideas you would have in Greening endeavors. Would love to discuss them and go forward on them."
Kashif will be one of the speakers at the upcoming :
33rd Annual ISNA Canada Convention
Theme: "Shaping A Canadian Muslim Identity"
May 19-20, 2007
at
Ottawa Congress Centre, Ottawa, Ontario
He will be one of the speakers on the following session:
Are Canadian Muslims going green? Facing the
environmental challenge.
In the Islamic worldview, human beings are God's vicegerents on Earth. They do not enjoy absolute
autonomy, but have been entrusted with the Guardianship of the Earth. The Islamic tradition is rich in references to questions as fundamental as the protection of the environment, animal rights and the definition of human responsibility.
Today, the environmental challenge has become a major concern for many Canadians. Is this simply another fashionable political issue-or are we witnessing the birth of a new awareness? This session will explore the important role that Muslims can play in working with their fellow-citizens in creating a lasting guardianship over our planet so they can remain true to their green
identity.
