Mufti Menk – Go Green & Avoid Fossil Fuels

			But when it comes to other ways of
		

			destroying
		

			the countries, or should I say the climates
		

			of the nations, and it's actually the globe,
		

			We need to be careful.
		

			We should be starting to think about moving
		

			away from fossil fuel. And it's a fact.
		

			Start to think about it so that at
		

			least by the time the next generation comes
		

			in, we would have done something about it.
		

			It's part of our duty. We come to
		

			the Masjid, myself included. I'm guilty. We drive
		

			a vehicle. How many in the car? I'm
		

			alone because we can afford the car. It's
		

			no longer about affording the car. May Allah
		

			forgive me and forgive all of us. Like
		

			I said, I'm also guilty. I need to
		

			do something about it as well. Are you
		

			prepared to come 2 or 3? All of
		

			you are going to the same place at
		

			the same time, but you want to use
		

			a different vehicle. Do you know the fumes
		

			and the emissions and so on? You can
		

			save.
		

			We're gonna need to start riding bicycles at
		

			some point. We used to in the past.
		

			We had a small period of time when
		

			we enjoyed cars. Now people will tell you,
		

			start riding a bike again. Walk. Yesterday, we
		

			were speaking to someone. They were saying, you
		

			know what? I feel a bit unhealthy. I
		

			said, walk to the Masjid 5 times a
		

			day. See how you feel, Subhanallah.
		

			And what does the Prophet say?
		

			Give good news to the ones who walk
		

			to the Masjid in the darkness of the
		

			of the nights
		

			of a complete Nur on the day of
		

			judgment. Wow. May Allah grant us ease. I
		

			know that reward will be achieved even if
		

			you came with the vehicle.
		

			But let's think about it.
		

			I am mentioning it here today simply because
		

			I'd like to generate a concern. I'm guilty
		

			too. I won't lie to you. You know
		

			it because we can do much more. But
		

			let's start talking about it. Saving the ecosystem.
		

			Don't just start a fire.
		

			Think about it.
		

			You're buying a vehicle instead of going for
		

			a massive engine because you can afford it,
		

			etc.
		

			Calm down a little bit. May Allah grant
		

			us ease. I know you're nodding your head.
		

			You're probably saying, look at the vehicle you
		

			drive before you talk to us. But I'm
		

			talking to myself to begin with.
