The great universal Muslim scientists, about thousand years ago, were at the forefront of knowledge, particularly in the sciences and technology without ever giving up their religion. In fact Islam in general and the Qur'an in particular inspired the Muslim scientists to seek and advance knowledge and paved the way for modern science. By moving away from the in depth study of the Qur'an Muslims have lost the golden opportunity of many a scientific discovery and advancement of knowledge. Science is not a divine revelation but it provides a means for the welfare of man and to better understanding the creation of Allah (SWT), the natural phenomena and their purpose. Islam exhorts its followers to relentlessly pursue knowledge. One-third of the Qur'an exhorts its readers to think and reflect upon the natural phenomena.

Siapakah perempuan tangguh penuh inspirasi dan teladan bagi umat? Siapakah perempuan yang jadi panutan dalam hal ketaatan kepada Allah dan suami? Siapa pula perempuan yang tak pernah putus asa terhadap cobaan apa pun yang menerpanya? Atau, mengapa dunia menggelarinya sebagai Ummul Mukminin? Khadijah. Khadijah. Khadijah. Dialah perempuan itu. Perempuan yang selama hidupnya menjadi perempuan panutan bagi kaum hawa sehingga dia pun disemati sebagai "perempuan suci". Rasulullah Saw. pun mengakui belahan jiwanya tersebut adalah motivator ulung tiada duanya yang dihadiahkan Tuhan. Membaca buku karya Ibrahim Muhammad Hasan Al-Jamal ini mengingatkan kita akan romantisme kisah cinta sepasang manusia mulia yang sarat dengan perjuangan, kesetiaan, kasih sayang, optimisme hidup, kesabaran, dan keintiman dengan Sang Pencipta. Maka, tidaklah salah Anda memiliki karya ini sebagai hidangan spiritual bagi keluarga dan generasi muda yang haus narasi keteladan. [Mizan, Mizania, Wanita, Novel, Indonesia]

Muslims, like those of many faiths, are compelled by their religion to praise the Creator, take care of each other, and take care of the planet. Those are their sacred mandates, as written in the Quran. While the call to love Allah and one another won't surprise many, the deep and long-standing convergences between Muslim theology and environmentalism aren't widely recognized within other religious and secular cultures at large or even among some American Muslim communities. In this unique project, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin seeks to change that. Green Deen ("deen" means "way" in Arabic) is a call to devotion, prayer, and service, a "friend-raising" project, a community-building opportunity, and a marriage of faith and reason. Abdul-Matin draws on research and interviews with prominent Muslim scholars, theologians, and community leaders to trace Islam's historical and contemporary preoccupation with humankind's collective role as stewards of the Earth. He reveals how Islam's call to reflection specifically includes reflection on our relationship to the natural world, and he cites scriptural passages that implicitly and explicitly illustrate our collective responsibility to maintain and manage the planet's delicate and intricate systems. If we all hope to save our planet and build stronger interfaith and secular relationships, Abdul-Matin argues, Muslims need to remember they have a history of a green deen, and the rest of us need to build community with eco-friendly Muslims. Advancing a mantra of "water, waste, and watts," Abdul-Matin presents specific ways in which Muslim communities and religious centers could concretely benefit from adopting green strategies (such as getting mosques off the grid and ensuring local communities greater protections against hazards like urban brownouts). And he provides practical steps individual Muslims can take to align their personal environmental practices with their aspirations for both piety and community. Green Deen articulates an Earth-conscious, people-affirming, faith-based, justice-centered orientation that will help mainstream American Muslims and their allies promote environmentalism that is steadfast, scientific, and practical. No other book of this kind has been written for the Muslim community, in a language they can understand. No other book helps those environmentalists of other faiths and orientations understand the gifts and contributions that Islam and its followers bring to the table. Green Deen is one of a kind
