Pagan Consumption Patterns of Divine Natural Resources

messages.sharePost :

Consumption, as the act of buying and acquiring what a person does not need, has become a lifestyle in the Western capitalist model.

 The Western break with religion formed the intellectual and philosophical foundation for this consumerist tendency, which justifies the rise of individualism and profit as the supreme goal. It treats nature and its resources as something to be subdued, controlled, and plundered without any ethical or human values or constraints. In contrast, the Qur'anic religious perspective views nature as a living entity, glorifying Allah, Almighty, just like humans. According to this perspective, humans should live in harmony with nature, treating it with balance and recognizing that its resources do not belong to them alone but to all the creatures created by Allah, Almighty.
