The Lord of the Worlds

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds (Alhamdulilleh rabbil `aalameen).

Praise be to He who created in perfect shape and subtle balance all the worlds, the Seen and Unseen, the Small and the Inmense, Human, the Vegetal and the Animal, the Liquid and the Solid.

The natural world is a testament to Allah's infinite science, mercy and wonder.
Yet, some human activities and particularly that of big profit making companies are playing with the balance (el mizaan) Allah has put in place in our bodies and in our environment.
For example oil spills have made the headlines over the past months and years. Although we no longer hear about the disastrous effects they have on wildlife and human livelihoods. These victims in addition to the vegetation and other animal forms don't recover fast if at all.
The NGO Greenpeace is currently advocating and raising the alarm about oil Drilling in the Arctic. Our dependency on fossil fuel and the decline of oil resources means that Oil companies are ready to put at risk pristine environments to pump up oil, regardless of the ecological consequences, whilst we are asked to pay higher energy bills.
In Greenland, the remote location, extreme weather and freezing temperatures would make it very difficult to clean up a spill.
Greenpeace issued this plea to Cairn Energy, a British company which has already set up an oil rig off Greenland coastline. "Given the unique dangers faced by your Arctic drilling programme, surely you understand that your company’s plans for dealing with any potential disaster should be made public. Please publish your oil spill response now."
