AIR POLLUTION MANAGEMENT: HARMONIZING ENVIRONMENTAL AND ISLAMIC VIEWPOINT

Abstract

Air pollution is a global concern of the modern scientific world. It is a challenge, affecting the health of people worldwide. Industries, power stations, atomic power plants, brick Kilns and toxic wastes of industries are polluting atmosphere. Emission of different types of harmful gases (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, lead) is causing dangerous diseases. It is a sad fact that industries, brick kilns and power plants are running without environmental facilities (Treatment plants). Air is the natural blessing of Allah that is basic source of life. Life cannot be continued without oxygen (O₂) even a moment. Research reports show that air pollution is on rise in the world as well as Pakistan. The management of air pollution requires not only scientific and technological solutions but also a religious and ethical framework. Islam is a complete code of life that offers a comprehensive approach to environmental management. Islamic concept of environment harmonizes environmental sciences with ethical responsibilities, providing a unique and holistic viewpoint on environment. No doubt, Air pollution has become a big global concern, affecting human health, ecosystems, and the natural environment. Effective management is essential to mitigate its effects. This article discovers the integration of environmental sciences with Islamic perspectives to produce a holistic attitude to air pollution management. By proving both modern scientific strategies and religious instructions, we aim to propose an incorporated framework for addressing air pollution that esteems both ecological and Islamic dimensions.
