Background

The divine message about the world and humanity reveals that we are the custodian or agent of the planet. We must govern the universe in a full respect, right and fair manner. As humankind, we are commanded to respect, treat well to all humankind and universe, and do not seek to cause harm and wasting resources and engage in unethical conduct. We are made to exist to govern not only human social and economic relationship but also the environment in the perfect and balance systems. The most honourable decision is being moderator in all aspects and actions e.g. the consumption of materials, water and energy, economic planning and social conduct. These verify the knowledge revealed about the world, humanity and sustainability that the universe is everyone's responsibility to protect, respect, nurture and care the perfect of environment.
