Interfaith activist and Muslim woman Amanda Quraishi is showing how the Muslim faith includes respect and care for the Earth. Quraishi explains how the Qur’an is a source which advocates for people to connect to the living environment and universe around them, proclaiming humans as “vicegerents,” or caretakers of creation. Quraishi recounts how her Muslim mentors and leaders taught her the importance of nature in faith-based practices. Quraishi is carrying on this message by pushing forward creation centered practices through events like the Interfaith Environmental ‘Preach Off’ she held last year. Photo credit: Eco-Chick
