BE THE CHANGE - SUPPORT IFEES TO SUPPORT PLANET EARTH
http://www.justgiving.com/ecoislam
“Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of what
the hands of humankind have earned. So that (Allah) may
give them a taste of some of their actions, in order that
they may turn back to Him.” Qur’an, 30:41
We are all more than aware of the unprecedented damage that
has been caused to the earth through selfish human behavior.
Climate Change, pollution, deforestation, poisoned food chains
and social upheaval are now part of our daily diet of news.
Ecosystems are in crisis in many parts of the Muslim world.
“The creation of the heavens and the earth is far greater
than the creation of mankind. But most of mankind do not
know it.” Qur’an, 40:56
SO HERE’S THE CHALLENGE!
“It is He who has appointed you as viceroys in the earth.”
Qur’an, 6:165
Allah has described mankind as His Guardians on earth. It is
therefore our responsibility to take care of other creatures
and the earth itself. Yet how many of us take these duties
seriously as an integral part of our way of life?
IFEES’ CONSERVATION WORK IS BASED ON QUR’AN AND SHARIAH DERIVED PRINCIPLES
Support IFEES to continue raising the importance of this issue
through the production of educational literature and also designing
training programmes and campaigns. Your support will also help us
to set up a global network of Muslim environmentalists and boost
our project work from Aceh to Zanzibar.

Asslam-u-alikum,
My name is Xenia, I am from Greece, but currently I am in UK, for my masters. I have been reading a lot about Islam, and I feel I'll accept Islam. But for now I have many doubts about being one, which I need to clarify:
1) Since, I'm from Greece where there are no muslims, so how and whom i'm going to marry?
2) Wearing Hijab: Can hijab be ...a jeans with a proper shirt with hair covered? as long as I dont expose any body part except my face and my hands.
ARGcomment: The most important thing now is: Do you know that Islam is the truth or not? If you do then embrace that, accept in your heart and mind and surrender yourself into the comfort that is Allah's guidance and help. Establish the prayer five times and day, and see how your life is transformed! Allah will take care of the rest in good time!
ARGcomment:
Xenia, don't worry about those things. The first things is
so you know Islam is the truth, that there is only one God and that Mohammed is His Prophet. If yes, decalre it. Second, start to pray 5 times a day.
Believe me you will see your life change in so many ways, and aways remember that Allah the All Powerful is watching and helping you always.

Xenia, first of all I would like to congradulate you that you found the truth! Secondly, there are six criteria for the hijab.
1. For a woman, the whole body should be covered, the only parts that can be (not should be) not covered are the face and the hands upto the wrists.
2. The clothes must not be so tight that they reveal the figure.
3. It must not be that of the opposite sex.
4. It must not be a symbol of the Kaafirs, e.g. cross etc.
5. It must not be see through.
6. It must not be so attractive that it attracts the opposite sex.
For the marrying part, just pray to Allah, the Almighty and the All-knowing, and believe in Him that He will solve your problems... :)
Good Luck!
Asalaamu Alaykum (peace be unto you)
