EP149: Two Billion Strong: The Intersect...

The Muslim Vibe
About this episode

In this episode, I speak with Hamzah Iqbal, an environmental activist working for IFEES who has his own podcast where he talks to people about Islam and the environment. We explore the intersection of Islam and environmentalism. We discuss the current environmental crisis, its potential impact on Muslim countries, and the role that submission to Allah plays in promoting environmental stewardship. Our guest explains how being conscious of our actions towards others and the natural world is an essential part of Islamic teachings and how this consciousness can help us find solutions to the ecological challenges we face today. Join us as we explore how Muslims are taking action to protect the planet and promote sustainability.
