T. J. Winters is a Islamic scholar and thinker who is active in both academic and grassroots levels. He shares his view on Islamic environmental efforts in his community and the greater Muslim community of the past and present. His work is relevant and an inspiration not only to the Muslims living in the West but to the humanity. The question here is not that if the environment is good to us, but are we able to fulfill our responsibility to the environment.

"The genius of the Prophetic teaching is that he [Prophet Muhammad] calls us back to what we are as natural human beings, not as fallen [angels], as intrinsically sinful, not as god-like beings - temporarily visiting this ugly and fallen world but as part of extraordinary panoply of the interaction of divine names and predicates which is the created world."
Timothy Winters on Prophetic teachings and the Environment
