Sample answer:
Ethical teachings stem from the Qurán and Hadith. Mizan (balance) and Khalifa (stewardship) are two ethical teachings related to Environmental ethics. The teaching of Mizan relates to Sura 55:8 “You must not transgress within the balance” which instructs Muslims to maintain that balance in their interaction with creation. This relates to issues such as overfishing or deforestation due to the imbalance they cause. All Muslims are called to be Khalifs, good stewards of the earth, guiding and leading others to preserve and protect the universe Allah created. These teachings of Mizan and Khalifa encouraged organisations such as IFEES, which aims to protect the planet for future generations though programs such as Sumatran Forest Management.
