Ecolibrium: On Humans, Animals, and Nature in Islam

Nadeem Haque, author of Animals in Islam, published a paper with Forces of Renewal for Southeast Asia (FORSEA), based on his recent presentation in Norway. It attempts to understand “the breakdown of peace and justice for all the sentient inhabitants of this precious planet of ours,” through the lens of the Quran and the natural belief system founded on Nature (in Arabic: fitrah).

This paper has now been posted on the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, as well as FORSEA’s website, and is free to access.
