SECOND EXPULSION — From Earth

SECOND EXPULSION From Earth B Y the end of the 20th century industrial progress was seen as an entirely positive development. But in the 21st century it was found that there was a very damaging aspect of industrial progress — that of carbon emissions. Industrial progress has brought in its wake industrial pollution, which has resulted in global warming; that is, weather chaos, melting of storehouses of water, the death of fragile animals, the pollution of sea water — in short, the disequilibrium of the life support system itself. Industrial progress has brought in its wake industrial pollution, which has resulted in global warming. Maintenance of an extravagant lifestyle is the actual reason for global warming. The present resources of the world permit only using them in accordance with real needs, but man wants to use them to lead a luxurious life. It is this unrealistic goal of man which has produced the grave problem of global warming in modern times. Global warming is like a proclamation by nature that this target of man is never going to be fulfilled in this present world. This target is at variance with nature and as such, cannot reach the stage of completion in this world. This is no simple matter, for it is directly linked with the creation plan of God, which has to be properly understood, failing which this matter cannot be rightly analysed. Here man’s plan is clashing with the plan of the Creator of nature, and that is what makes it impossible to successfully implement. We can understand the above point with the help of the following narrative. God created Adam (the first man) and Eve (the first woman) and settled them in Paradise. God said to Adam: O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat freely from it anywhere you may wish. Yet do not approach this tree lest you become wrongdoers. THE QURAN 2:35
