		<title><![CDATA[Green Creation]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope you enjoy, benefit from suggestions and ideas to 'go green', to (re-) align our daily life with our duty to take care of Creation because: "<em>He it is Who has placed you as viceroys of the earth and has exalted some of you in rank above others </em>[some are rich/ poor; some are strong/ weak etc so each accountable to his/ her ability]<em>, that He may try you in the gifts He has given you. Your Lord is swift to requite (evil), and He verily is Forgiving, Merciful.</em>" (Quran, chapter 6, verse 165) - my book '<a href="http://www.fast-print.net/view.php?book=367" target="_blank">199 ways to please God, how to (re-)align your daily life with your duty of care for Creation</a>' is available (with PayPal, UK delivery; also via <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/199-WAYS-TO-PLEASE-GOD/dp/184426629X" target="_blank">Amazon UK</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/199-WAYS-TO-PLEASE-GOD/dp/184426629X" target="_blank">Amazon US</a>).

Finances permitting, I would love to spend more time on my PhD on Islam &amp;  Environment: comparing the humanitarian aid principle of 'do no harm'  with the Islamic principle of '<em>la darar</em>' (do no harm) with regards to  sustainable development.]]></description>
