In this groundbreaking book, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin draws on research, scripture and interviews with Muslim Americans to trace Islam's profound dedication to humankind's collective role as stewards of the Earth. Abdul-Matin points out that the Prophet Muhammad declared that 'the Earth is a mosque.' Green means 'path' or 'way' in Arabic. Abdul-Matin offers dozens of examples of how Muslims can follow, and already are following, a Green Deen in four 'waste, watts (energy), water and food.' At last, people of all beliefs can appreciate the gifts and contributions that Islam and Muslims bring to the environmental movement. Green Deen is a welcome hybrid, providing a glimpse into conservation through the lens of religion.
