Summary/Abstract: As today’s world changes, the imam’s role in it gets more and more complex, responsible and demanding. However, his responsibility in planning, managing and implementing various projects is often not on a par with his intellectual, organizational or financial capabilities. The imam plays a key role in the Muslim community. As he strives to justify the authority assigned to him by the virtue of his position and turn it into a real authority by merit - he has to conscioously ponder the responsibility that comes with it. Discussing ecological activism and specific activities related to ecology, has become an important part of imam’s job, as raising awareness on ecological issues is becoming increasingly important activity for each and every member of the community. This article offers several theoretical vantage points on how to actively delve into ecological issues within the Muslim community.
