Man and Nature
- 1978 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- 16mm
- (Traditional World of Islam series, Part 3) It is a basic tenet of Islam that all creation is related, with man as the link between God and Nature. Islam thus teaches that man shall not force nature, should not work in conflict with it, but rather, in harmony. Examines some of the traditional ways in which Muslims have worked (and, to an extent, continue to work) with nature; many of these techniques have allowed man to exact from nature according to his needs, without doing irrevocable damage to it. Emphasizes traditional Islamic society's reliance on renewable versus exhaustible natural resources. Underlines the traditional belief that man should leave no lasting scars on the earth.
