Environmental Pollution and Our Responsibilities: in The Light of Sīratul-Nabī

Abstract

There is a purpose to the creation of this universe. The goal is to preserve the beauty of the universe and the environment, to make it beneficial to all the humanity and also for other creatures, and to protect it from corruption.This goal will be fulfilled only when the principles and rules laid down by the Creator of the universe will be observed.These rules have been given by Allah Almighty through His Prophets(Peace be upon Them).The last Prophet in the chain of guidance is Muhammad (PBUH), whom Allah Almighty has declared to be the standard of best and ideal example.Purification of the hearts and minds of the believers was one of the basic duties of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).Lawful and unlawfulrules have been laid down in all Divine religions including Islam.Types of pollution include environmental pollution, air pollution, thermal pollution, soil pollution, light pollution, water pollution and noise pollution.At present, the whole world has become a global village. Due to which the challenge of environmental pollution is also global.Adherence to purity and cleanliness is essential for the elimination of environmental pollution. This purity and cleanliness is physical, spiritual, individual and collective level.In Islam and in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it is also more important to purify the inner self and the heart from all kinds of inward impurity, sins, transgressions and disbelief and hypocrisy.Similarly, in the responsibilities imposed by Islam, where the individual is addressed, the collective groups and the state or government are also included.This article will cover all these aspects in the light of Sīrate Rasool in Urdu language.
