  • Summary

    Religion can play a considerable role in the protection of natural resources. The ecological spirituality movement is enjoying growing success crowned by the UNEP Faith for Earth initiative. In Muslim countries this movement is emerging. However, it has not yet been able to extensively exploit the law. Indeed, the particularity of the religion of Islam it is intertwined with the law. Consequently, this is an opportunity to be seized to strengthen environmental law. There are at least six reasons that explain the interest of the extension of Ecological Spirituality in the sphere of environmental law. These same reasons also explain the urgency of adopting a new research agenda in the field of environmental law in Muslim countries. One of these reasons is for example the Islamic finance movement which is growing globally and which could be inspiring for the Atmospheric Waqf paradigm and doctrine.

  • The common ground between religions could be fruitfully promoted in order to call for an effective protection of the climate system. Positioned at a junction of different worlds, this book is a multidisciplinary work on Islamic law, common law and environmental law. Looking at the past, present and future, the author suggests a paradigm shift starting from the common ground in order to propose a better future for environmental law in Muslim countries. As the first book to compare Shari'a and common law in field of environmental protection, it suggests a new path in comparative environmental law by recognizing the contributions of both history and spirituality.
