Eco-Friendly Mosque

A Mosque has always been known as a centre of a Muslim community. Traditionally, mosques, perform more
functions than just being a place of worship. A mosque is not only for the Muslims to perform prayer in the
congregation but also as a place to generate economy, education and social cohesion of the community. Hence,
a mosque can be considered as a living nexus; the mosque itself is living and bringing life to the community
it serves. Therefore, both mosque and its surroundings are living symbiotically together. The concept of “ecofriendly mosque” would be abstracted as a mosque and its atmosphere that are not harmful for the environment
but promotes ecology, protects environment towards ensuring sustainability. This is the timely-need concept
that must be implemented in the present environmental situation of the world. As we all know that Mosque is
a place where most of the Muslims are engaged in every day for praying their obligatory daily-prayers and
especially prayer on Friday and in other religious festivals and occasions as well. It’s time we understand the
link between man and his stewardship responsibilities towards the planet and future generations.
The Mosque is the epicentre of the community and an important learning place. To amplify the environmental
stewardship responsibilities, there is no better place to teach than by way of an example of an eco-friendly
Mosque.
