5 The Historical Roots of Our Ecologic Crisis Prof. Lynn White, Jr. (1967) Science, vol. 155, no. 3767, pp our ecologic crisis is the product of an emerging, entirely novel, democratic culture Human ecology is deeply conditioned by beliefs about our nature and destiny that is, by religion Formerly man had been part of nature; now he was the exploiter of nature it is rooted in, and is defensible apart from, Judeo- Christian theology More science and more technology are not going to get us out of the present ecologic crisis until we find a new religion, or rethink our old one 6

6 Islam Hadhari An approach that emphasizes development, consistent with the tenets of Islam and focused on enhancing the quality of life and could be achieved by: Mastery of knowledge and the development of the individual and the nation Implementation of dynamic economic, trading and financial system Integrated and balanced development that creates a knowledgeable and pious people who hold values and honesty, trustworthy and prepared to take on global challengers 7

45 FIFA WORLD CUP GREEN GOAL PROGRAMME 47

46 Green Goal propels environmental protection to the forefront of a FIFA World Cup for the first time in the history of football. 48

47 Green Goal assigns a central role to protecting the global climate. the event s effect on the climate will be minimised use of renewable energy sources and support for environment-friendly transportation. unavoidable negative effects will be balanced by investment in protective schemes elsewhere ensuring the 2006 FIFA World Cup ends up "climate neutral" 49

48 ... first major sports event with measurable environment protection targets in the key sectors of - refuse - transportation - energy -water 50

49 Water The main way to use clean, drinking water as sparingly as possible is to reduce the volume consumed to the absolute minimum substitute rain and other naturally occurring sources of water where possible allow rainwater to drain naturally minimize drainage waste and pollution. 51

53 Amal Yang Berpanjangan Pahalanya Anas r.a. berkata: Ada 7 pahala yang tetap diterima oleh seseorang itu apabila dia mati kelak, iaitu: Orang yg mendirikan masjid dan masjid itu terus digunakan oleh orang ramai sebagai tempat ibadah Orang yg mengalirkan air sungai selagi orang tetap menggunakannya Orang yg menulis mushaf selagi masih ada orang yg membacanya Orang yg mengali perigi selagi ada orang yg memanfaatkannya Orang yg menanam buah-buahan selagi ada yg memakan buahnya sama ada manusia atau binatang Orang yg mengajarkan ilmunya selagi ilmu itu diamalkan oleh mereka yg mempelajarinya Orang yg meninggalkan anak yg soleh dan anak itu sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan kedua orang tuanya 55

54 Pernyataan Konsep Pencemaran & Kerosakan Alam Maksud ayat Al-Qur an: Telah nampak kerusakan di daratan dan lautan disebabkan perbuatan tangan manusia, supaya Allah merasakan kepada mereka sebahagian dari akibat perbuatan mereka, agar mereka kembali ke jalan yang benar Ar-Ruum: 41 56

55 Al-Ghasyiyyah: Do they not look at the Chamels, how they are made? And the Sky, how it is raised high? And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? And at the Earth, how it is spread out? Therefore do thou give admonition for thou art One to admonish, Thou art not one to manage (men s) affairs. But if any turns away and rejects Allah, Allah will punish him with a mighty punishments, for to Us will be their return, then it will be for Us to call them to account 57
