Environment from the Holy Quran's Point of View

Holy Quran is the main source and the most important one in defining the value of nature and humanity. Human’s behavior has been proven to be a great threat to nature and its environment. Therefore a change in human behavior becomes a necessity and this change has to be based on ethical values which are environmental friendly or environmental ethics. The environmental ethics, which is a branch of the applied ethics, defines the ethical and spiritual responsibility of human in relationship with his environment. The Holy Quran, while pointing out the divine blessings of nature and telling us to use them, tells us that the violator of the nature is corrupted on earth and it is proscription of the divine blessings and worthy of anger and divine torture. The Holy Quran contains helpful keywords that will guide us towards understanding the nature and its elements and also it will tell us the ethical lectures and the mandatory rights related to the nature. Keywords such as creation, blessing, sign, governing and owning are few examples of those words which will define the Holy Quran’s position in this manner.
