Follow Islamic Spiritual Principles to save the world, Prince Charles
Administrator on June 11th, 2010
HRHR Prince of Wales, Prince Charles was speaking to an audience of scholars at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies – which attempts to encourage a better understanding of the culture and civilisation of the religion. Prince Charles urged the world to follow Islamic ’spiritual principles’ in order to protect the environment.
The Prince of Wales delivered a speech titled “Islam and the Environment” and spoke about the inspiration that he sees in Islam to ensure ‘the environment’. He said:
- “The traditional way of life within Islam is very clear about the “centre” that holds the relationship together. From what I know of its core teachings and commentaries, the important principle we must keep in mind is that there are limits to the abundance of Nature. These are not arbitrary limits, they are the limits imposed by God and, as such, if my understanding of the Qu’ran is correct, Muslims are commanded not to transgress them.”
- “I would urge you to consider whether we can learn anything from the Islamic culture’s profound understanding of the natural world to help us all in the fearsome challenges we face.”
- “The Islamic world is the custodian of one of the greatest treasuries of accumulated wisdom and spiritual knowledge available to humanity. It is both Islam’s noble heritage and a priceless gift to the rest of the world. And yet, so often, that wisdom is now obscured by the dominant drive towards Western materialism – the feeling that to be truly “modern” you have to ape the West.”
