Combating Climate Change: Duty of Islamic Stewardship (Bangla) | Sh Abdul Qayum, ELM Jumu‘ah Khutbah

As we observe the various natural disasters that have been afflicting different parts of the world, from the devastating floods in the Middle East to the earthquakes in Turkey and Morocco, and from the droughts to the excessive rainfall in Africa, it becomes clear that these calamities serve as a wake-up call for humanity to reflect on our actions and turn back to Allah.
In the Holy Qur’an, Allah reminds us, “Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by reasons of what the hands of people have earned, so that Allah may let them taste part of the consequences of what they have done, and perhaps they will return to righteousness.” (Qur’an 30:41) This verse emphasises the direct connection between human actions and the occurrence of natural disasters.
The link between human action and climate change is an indisputable fact discovered by modern scientists. However, the Qur’an, revealed to our Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him) more than 1400 years ago, made the connection in numerous verses at a period when the connection between human action and climate change were not known..
