We've been dedicating our time to this for quite a bit longer than we had originally planned - a few months longer in fact! - and whilst painful at times, we managed to patiently work through the difficult parts to experience the joys that follow, and which come from working within a great team. And yes, we are pleased with the outcome as well! We invite you to take a look.
The Wisdom In Nature team
From a small team of faith-inspired community activists...
This picture guide outlines an Islamic perspective on one of the most pressing challenges of our time. In simple language and with pictures, it introduces the following themes:
Disturbance of the Natural Order; A Call to the Fitrah; Unnatural Disasters; Islam: A Religion of Harmony; Fulfilling our Role as Khalifah; A Revival towards Wholeness; The Power of Many…
Climate Change is a signal that humankind has lost its course. By drawing on spiritual wisdom, we can respond to this call - this call to heal. This booklet was produced by a team of community activists to educate, cultivate reflection and inspire holistic action to help build a fairer and more sustainable world for all.

The booklet was produced through voluntary efforts by a team of committed activists along with design support as we neared completion.
Go Team WIN!!! It's been a veritable rollercoaster working on this - as I put on a post where I've shared it - 'love and pain'. I'm so happy that it's come to an end with such an amazing product. Yay us :0)
ReplyDeleteRight on Wasi (Knox)! :)
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know, I'm not one for mechanically quoting the Qur'an. I am however particularly drawn to these verses from Chapter 94, a chapter that I notice often having a grounding effect on me, and to be relevant here: Surah Ash-Sharh - The Opening-Up of the Heart
"...And, behold, with every hardship comes ease:
verily, with every hardship comes ease!
Hence, when thou art freed [from distress], remain steadfast,
and unto thy Sustainer turn with love."
[Asad translation]
Even though any hardship experienced was small in the wider scheme of things! However, patterns can play their course at differing scales. So, great to have worked with you all. It's been a real pleasure.
Masha'Allah! I've taken the liberty of forwarding this and reposting on The Eco Muslim
