The environment and its living creatures are a priceless bounty offered by God to mankind. Human always depends on the environment to survive or fulfil their life's purpose ever since the start of life on this earth. Furthermore, human is able to appreciate God's existence and increase knowledge towards becoming a developed civilisation, through understanding of earth's creation and various species living within it that collectively lead to the balance in the environment. Nevertheless, fanaticism among human towards development activities has caused them to neglect this bounty of God, hence causing them to witness severe exploitation of the environment. This situation has caused deterioration in environmental standard and drastic decline, notably on wildlife species living within the environment. Thus, aimed with this awareness, WWF-Malaysia in collaboration with Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM) has embarked on this initiative of publishing a guide book on conservation of our environment to introduce and increase public awareness and appreciation towards our environment as stipulated in our religion, Islam. This guide book is the first of its kind published in Malaysia, which compiles and scrutinises related aspects towards conservation of the environment and its living creatures, specifically on threatened species. This book highlights Islamic approach in ensuring that it is easy to understand and be embraced and practised by all levels of society. It is expected that with the publication of this book, it can be used as a guidance or reference for Muslims especially Islamic leaders, Islamic scholars, and educators to address society in championing environmental issues and to work hand in hand in handling current environmental issues and the crises of threatened wildlife species. |
