Environmental Considerations of the Great Prophet (PBUH)

One of the basic characteristics and elements of religion is the subject of prophecy and leadership. In the movement of humanity towards perfection and happiness, the role and importance of knowing the guide is no less than the way. Because the amount of walking depends on the knowledge of the guide and theoretical and practical obedience to him. In the religion of Islam, prophecy and prophetology are considered the fundamental principles of religion and are placed next to the two principles of monotheism and resurrection. A correct understanding of the prophet and prophecy is important in several ways, including the fact that understanding the truth of monotheism and getting close to God Almighty passes through the highway of prophecy. In the Holy Qur'an, the secret of attracting God's love and being on the path of worship is to obey the Prophet. In other words, the indicator and condition of loving God and God-worship of the servants is obedience to the Holy Prophet and the application of his theoretical and practical way of life; it is on this basis that while introducing the Prophet as a 'good role model', God Almighty has called everyone to recognize and obey him. Since there is always a positive meaning in the word 'Osveh' (good role model) and it is used in a place where the leader is approved and qualified, the expression 'fi Rasulullah Osveh' (a good exemplar [for you] in the Apostle of Allah) indicates that the capacity of the existence of a message is full of lessons, messages, and good role models. In this regard, one of the aspects of the Prophet's moral character can be seen in his interaction with the environment, including animals and nature (trees, etc.). The Prophet treated nature as if he were dealing with a living and conscious being. One of the reasons for this gentle and loving interaction should be found in the fundamental attitude of Islam towards God's existence and creations, which introduces not only living beings, but also the seven heavens and the earth and everything as praises of God Almighty. Therefore, the destruction of the natural environment means the destruction of the creatures that praise and glorify the Lord of existence, and it is a failure to be human and commit a kind of crime against creation. On the other hand, one of the results of a good relationship with nature and the creatures of the world is having a better and calmer environment for humans, the lack of which, of course, is one of the serious challenges of the contemporary world.
