“All the earth is a place of worship “masjid” except for the graveyard and the washroom.”
Muslims 4 the Environment “ME” is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that models the way of the honeybee to advocate benignity toward the environment. Our primary aim and purpose is to educate, create awareness and consequently inspire modifications in our consumption and disposal behaviors that produce unintended negative consequences that harm all living things, the planet, the environment and the eco-system at an unprecedented scale. We call upon humanity’s better side to be an exemplary guest of our gracious Creator in our temporary home . . . the earth.
Our initials “ME” reaffirms that accountability starts with me . . . the individual. The number 4 rather than the conjunction “for” is to emphasize that we are for the environment in all four corners of the world. And finally, our short name M4THEE (Muslims 4 you) is a pledge that Muslims shall stand with you for the environment.
The care and preservation of nature, the environment and all living things within the eco-system is in essence an Islamic obligation and tradition “sunnah” of the Prophet (MPBH). ME is driven to rally Muslims and our brothers and sisters in humanity at home and around the world to take care of ourselves, each other’s wellbeing, the earth and the environment.
Together, we want to advocate for holistic energy conservation measures and eco-friendly practices and policies in our institutions, local communities and at the county, state and federal levels.
With a reach and teach philosophy, we educate with the intention to create a profound consciousness that leads to self-empowerment and actionable ownership. This claim for responsibility is key in compelling and mobilizing the citizen of the world into positive and meaningful action.
ME partners with local and global institutions to model a “green” approach at the local and grass root levels within Muslim and non-Muslim communities in the United States, North America and around the world.
