The sacred book of muslims,Holy Quran shows the nature as complete,complex and a whole system in itself, in which all the components are connected, linked,support and protect each other. Even if we see that  one component is affected, the order and functioning of the entire system, i.e. nature, are disturbed. With this in regard we can see that, the Holy Quran has been promoting a holistic approach to the environment approximately 1300 years before the introduction of the academic concept of holism. The injunctions of the Holy Quran moulds the  human behaviour so as to avoid excesses. This moderation and injunctions are often described through three principles found throughout its pages: the principles of unity, balance and responsibility. The important environmental teachings are obvious in the verses of the Holy Quran. In order to ensure human a healthy environment, all these teachings must be respected and put into practice on every level of lifestyle of every human. Toconclusion, we can say that the Prophet Mohammed could be considered a pioneer ofenvironmentalism, preservation,sustainable development and resource management.
