The respected sheik promised the audience that his lecture would be unusual. He did not disappoint, and covered mainly the theme of Earth Day and the environment, and drew teh congregations attention to the linkages between man's deeds (not just actions) and the reaction of the earth and environment to it. Some key points (not the whole story):
- borders of the world are man-made. Why? (not sure of link to topic)
- why do Saudi imams not visit Al-Aqsa to lead prayers. The pope goes to jerusalem. (again not sure of link to topic)
- We are inheritors of the earth
- the earth and us can be stroyed with our sin
- we sin against the earth
- it is ok to talk of green issues, but we need to talk about our offense to the owner of the earth (Allah)
- We can find fire at an iron-smith, but you can also find it at a cotton mill (so,..?)
- In Sura Yaseen, we are told to establish cities (mustakaroo), but you will leave the cities behind
- Hadith (nearest meaning) : If a muslim plants a tree, whoever eats from it you will get sadakah
- Hadith (nearest meaning) : If you build house without haram money and energy(labor), then continuous reward as long as it is in use, even as a landlord
