Abstract: During the last three decades or so academics from a variety of disciplines have been taking part in a wide range of outlets to explore whether religion in general, and Judaeo-Christian faith in particular is really responsible for the misuse of environmental resources. Unfortunately, Islam, as a major World religion, has been largely absent from these debates. This paper looks at the importance of nature in the main sources of Islamic instruction with a view to finding out about the importance of good environmental conduct in Muslim countries where the pressure on environmental resources has been growing.
