Summary of Sunni concepts Some Islamic models that lead to environmental protection and cleanliness First, a clean environment is where harm stays out of the way He is the lowest of the people of faith, as proven in the Sunnah The harm is more general than one might think The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, told of a man who entered Paradise on a thorny branch that he moved away from the path Secondly, Islam preserves crops and greenery It is not permissible to cut down trees in the Haram This is something that is unparalleled today by any nation It is also permissible in Islam to protect people instead of what is called today protecting wildlife Islam encourages agriculture and explains that there is a reward for its owner when a person or animal eats from it The most eloquent thing about urging planting is his saying, may God bless him and grant him peace If the Hour comes and there is a seedling in the hand of one of you, and if he can afford it not to come until he plants it, then let him plant it Thirdly, they say today A clean environment is one that uses solar energy Muslim countries are those where the sun rises every day Many of them are deserts where the sun barely sets In the West, they die if the temperature reaches forty degrees Fourth, Islam also encourages a clean environment It also encourages cleanliness in the body and appearance He orders ablution, bathing, siwak, circumcision, and the like Fifthly, one of the greatness of this religion is that it has prescribed cleanliness to us When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, saw a man with a hairy head He said, “Didn’t he find that he could calm a hair’s hair with it?” He saw another man wearing dirty clothes He said: Didn't this man find water to wash his clothes with? The siwak has been prescribed for us and has benefits or advantages that are not found in anything else One of them is that it is easy to carry and a Muslim uses it many times a day and night Sixth, Muslims have preceded Westerners in protecting the environment and are still doing so God Almighty has made a safe sanctuary with no thorns He is not alone and his hunting is not deserted This is the greatest protection for the environment, wildlife and greenness
