As part of Oryx FM Radio’s programming for the holy month of Ramadan, through its Environment Magazine, the radio station addressed the importance of environmental preservation in Islam.
The radio programme hosted Dr Muhammad al-Hajj, a specialist in Arabic-Islamic language and civilisation, who reviewed the principles of Islam related to the environmental aspect on the Environment Magazine weekly programme, which is prepared and presented by environmental journalist Dr Nebri Losak.
During his segment, Dr al-Hajj emphasised the importance that Islam places on protecting the physical environment in which one lives.
He stressed the great reward for those who strive to perform positive actions that preserve the environment.
Dr al-Hajj cited examples from the Qur’an and the Prophet (PBUH)’s hadith, which highlight the forms of environmental tampering and the necessity of maintaining balance within it.
He emphasised the special status Islam places on preserving the environment and its water, plants, animals, and other resources.
The Environment Magazine programme is one of the oldest programmes presented by the Oryx FM Radio station, spanning 10 years across its various programming cycles.
The radio station devotes slots to programmes related to environmental conservation through advocacy segments and readings on jurisprudential opinions, which cover laws that must be followed and applied during assessments, and through other programmes related to discovering and preserving the environment around us.
