I find this very heart warming, Prince Charles is actually trying to get a message across showing our priceless relationship with earth. I have highlighted one of his points that I believe to be very true.

What I found to be very disturbing are the comments after this article. Looks like we still have a very long way to go when it comes to some people waking up.

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic 'spiritual principles' in order to save the environment.

In a high-profile speech, the heir to the throne argued that man's destruction of the world was contrary to the scriptures of all religions - but particularly that of the Islamic faith.

He said the current 'division' between Man and Nature had been caused not just by industrialisation, technological development and the relentless pursuit of economic growth, but also by our attitude to our relationship with Nature - which goes against the grain of 'sacred traditions'.

Charles, who is a practising Christian, spoke in depth about his own study of the Qu'ran which, he said, tells its followers that there is 'no separation between Man and Nature' and says we must always live within Nature’s mean and limits

'From what I know of the Qu’ran, again and again it describes the natural world as the handiwork of a unitary benevolent power,' he said.

'It very explicitly describes Nature as possessing an “intelligibility” and that there is no separation between Man and Nature, precisely because there is no separation between the natural world and God.

'It offers a completely integrated view of the Universe where religion and science, mind and matter are all part of one living, conscious whole.

'This suggests to me that Nature is a knowing partner, never a mindless slave to humanity, and we are Her tenants; God's guests for all too short a time.'

The prince was speaking to an audience of scholars at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, which attempts to encourage a better understanding of the culture and civilisation of the religion, of which he is patron.
