With the holy month of Ramadan having just passed, the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr serves as a natural culmination of the environmental mindfulness developed during Ramadan. Throughout the month, the practices of fasting, simplicity and reflection encourage a heightened awareness of our consumption habits and their impact on the planet.

Islam places a strong emphasis on the balance of nature, urging humanity to act as stewards on the Earth rather than exploiters. This perspective is woven throughout the Qur’an, where the natural world is not only seen as a resource but also as a sign of Divine wisdom.
