Climate change is a universal phenomenon which will have universal inputs.

Muslims have not had inputs into this simply because muslims societies have become regressed, and what is worse, oh so proud in their religiosity.

Muslim societies need to get over this hyper religiosity if only because it has bred intolerance.

And that perhaps may begin the road to recovery where learning from others may be possible with respect and tolerance for all.

Certainly it is a common sense but Islam is not just a religion of individual rituals. It also addresses issues like environment, economics, growth, contract management, astronomy and so much more. Its a pity that these so called Muslim clerics and their blind followers do not pay any heed to that.

May Allah make it easy for every human to learn the true spirit His true religion! Ameen

No religion, Islam including, has much to contribute to the present debate on pollution and destruction of environment. This is a the negative side of moder living. The answer lies in science, new thinking on meaning of life, controlling population growth, and educating people. Religion has no answer to any of these problems.

What a thought provoking and well researched article. But did you read the Koran, books of Hadith and fiqh? Most probably not, otherwise you might have gotten some references. I am not here to spoon feed you. Go do the research again, then do re-research 99 times. If you still can’t find any reference, then ask me.

My first reaction was well said. But later I retracted, using my wisdom.

Islam has defined laws not only for humans but also for animals, plants and every other thing in this universe, but it is unfortunate that Muslims are not following their scriptures and being behind on this issues, but the question is how come a community focus on this when they are cornered everywhere in the world.

What religion has to do with the climate change? Protecting the climate is a common sense.

Talking about climate change in a Muslim forum is a far cry. Let us first try to get a unity amongst all Muslims about fixing the Eid day. We simply cannot get all heads working and agreeing on simple matters
