Islamic Stewardship
Man is the lieutenant of Allah on earth. He is mandated to build civilization and held responsible for harnessing and protection of environment. The Muslim, in particular, is duty-bound to take care of the environment, in the general acceptance of the term, and to make every personal and possible effort to achieve sustainable development for the general well-being of each and everybody.
