A Comparative Study of Islam and Christianity's View of Nature

Abstract

Some Western intellectuals, such as M. White, attribute the current environmental crises to a religious view of the environment, and believe that religious teachings about the environment have destroyed natural gifts in the world today. This needs to be reviewed and analyzed. The infiltration of some Aristotelian philosophical ideas of Ancient Rome into the body of Christian thought reinforces the views of people like M. White. While the ideas originated from the Greek school of Alexandria, inspired by Socratic thought, there has always been a loving view of nature, and nature has considered the embodiment of the gods which this thought has also been influential in some Christians in Europe. But the Oriental schools, and at the top of them the comprehensive school of Islam, have never been competitive and angry view with nature and have considered it a beautiful image of the divine creation. Therefore, the slogan of land destruction is due to a religious view, which is a false slogan. The propagation of Oriental rulings and teachings can have a large audience in the world and eliminate these biased attacks.
