Environmental Stewardship

Learn about environmental stewardship in Islam — a divine trust calling humanity to protect and preserve the Earth.

Environmental stewardship is central to Islamic ethics. Allah has appointed humankind as caretakers (khalifah) of the planet, responsible for maintaining balance and justice. Protecting natural resources, preventing harm, and promoting sustainability are not optional acts but expressions of faith. When Muslims act as responsible stewards, they honor this sacred trust and reflect gratitude for Allah’s abundant blessings.
