LINE (London Islamic Network for the Environment) invites you to:
ISLAM & ENVIRONMENT TRAINING DAY: From Awareness to Action
Date: Sun 24th June 2007
Time: 10.30am til 4pm
Venue: Friends of the Earth, 26-28 Underwood Street, London. N1 7JQ (nearest tube: Old Street: Northern Line)
Organised by LINE with Friends of the Earth & Tawhid Mosque.
Workshop Facilitators:
Shaykh Usama Hasan, Tawhid Mosque
David Babbs, Capacity Building Team Leader, Friends of the Earth
Dr Muzammal Hussain, Founder, LINE
In the wake of a global environmental crisis, this one-day workshop is for anyone who would like to familiarise themselves with environmental themes from an Islamic perspective with the goal of taking action in their communities.
In order to achieve this, together we will aim to explore a number of Islamic concepts such as: Tawhid (Oneness), Mizan (Balance), Fasad (Corruption), Fitra (Natural state) and Khilafah (Guardianship). We will reflect on the value of these concepts in the light of the environmental degradation taking place on the planet, and we will explore what forms a coherent Islamic response might take to this.
We will then look at ingredients that might be necessary for developing strong and sustainable environmental networks within our communities, such that the guiding principles articulated through the Qur'an and Sunna can have value through our collective action. Participants will also learn about existing groups and campaigns and there will be opportunities to network with fellow course participants.
There will be a break for lunch and we will have prayer facilities.
Tea and coffee included. Please bring a packed lunch.
