An Islamic Perspective on Caring for God’s Creation

WAIPL-coal-hearing-MAPS-editEarth Ministry/Washington Interfaith Power & Light was glad to participate in What on Earth are we to do? An Islamic Perspective on Caring for God’s Creation hosted by the Muslim Association of Puget Sound (MAPS) on December 8.
Those gathered learned about the causes and effects of global warming, heard what the Qur’an says about caring for
creation, considered other Islamic teachings in light of climate change, and discussed meeting this important moral challenge together.
Several members of MAPS attended the Seattle coal export hearing on December 13.

Earth Ministry/WAIPL works within the unceded territories of Northwest Native nations. Our office is on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present. Land acknowledgement is one way to resist erasure of Indigenous histories as well as to honor tribes and the land itself.
