Re: Islam, Muslims and the Natural World

The conviction of your faith cannot be justified until such times when you
are fully exposed to other faiths and have had time to reflect, reason and
make the choice without any cohesion,threat from anybody. You are however
entitled to your belief

Islam, Muslims and the Natural World
By Nehal El-Hadi

Muslims believe the world is God's gift to mankind and that there is proof
of His existence in every natural object. The finest grain of sand, with
its patterned arrangements of atoms, displays the minute detail of His
reckoning. From the smallest of viruses to the largest of plants and
animals, every living creature presents signs of God's creational
capacity. The universe serves as a reminder that the extent of His
creation is still unknown to man, and in this wondrous Universe, man's
place is that of the ultimate creation.

Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the word of God (Allah) as revealed to
the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). It serves as the
source of the Muslim worldview - together with the Hadith and Sunnah - and
contains all the information needed to lead a good, true Muslim life, from
the basic tenets of Islam to laws governing Muslim societies.

The Qur'an describes the special status of humans in creation, and is
another piece of evidence of Allah's existence. The natural world, like
the Qur'an, is considered irrefutable proof of Allah's existence, and
Nature is usually referred to as "the second book" of Allah.
