Al Qur’an covers every aspects of life, even when it is not to be taken literally, because Al Qur’an was delivered in such poetic way it can be perceived in different ways that it will never be out of date till the end of time. Some verses discussing about waste and its solutions.  To realize those goals, on Millennium Summit of the United Nations (UN) in September
2000, as much as 189 countries represented by their country heads or government heads signed a declaration titled as Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). There were 8 goals in this MDGs, with the seventh being to ensure the environmental sustainability.  As of September 25th 2015, UN has proclaimed and agreed to adopt the new global development agenda which was known as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
