In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

A WWF report shows that humans are consuming natural resources at a rate that is not sustainable.

It is only by God's Grace and perfect design that our planet continues to be habitable (15:19 -21). Without God's help, and human efforts to rectify mistakes, we would end up causing many ecological disasters (30:41).

[Quran 15:19-20] As for the earth, we constructed it, and placed on it stabilizers (mountains), and we grew on it a perfect balance of everything.
We made it habitable for you,* and for creatures you do not provide for.
{footnote} *15:20 When we send astronauts into space, we provide them with precisely measured quantities of food, water, and oxygen. God created the spaceship Earth with billions of astronauts who work and reproduce; He supplied them with a self-supporting system that generates oxygen, fresh water, and a great variety of delicious foods and drinks.

[Quran 30:41] Disasters have spread throughout the land and sea, because of what the people have committed. He thus lets them taste the consequences of some of their works, that they may return (to the right works).
