As humanity enters a new era of climate‐induced unpredictability, research into the role of religion in shaping perceptions of, and responses to disaster will become increasingly important. This is particularly true of South Asia, which contains dense populations certain to be adversely affected by climate change. This contribution explores the way religion shapes and mediates responses to disaster in Pakistan. Where previous work in this field has focused on extremists and militants, mine considers currents of lived Islam that take explicit stances on questions of natural resource development. Drawing upon extensive primary data, I identify two distinct disaster cosmologies permeating state and society. First, I consider the official Islam of experts and policymakers, whose approach to development is derived from, but arguably surpasses the modernism of British and American colonial and Cold War paradigms in its dogmatic, faith‐based belief in the imperative of mastering and exploiting nature. The second is an altogether contrasting formation embedded in a political protest movement representing a marginalized constituency, the Siraiki speaking population of Southern Punjab, which mobilized flood affectees in the aftermath of the 2010 floods around issues of social and environmental justice.

从比较角度看灾害宇宙学：伊斯兰教，气候变化与2010年巴基斯坦南部旁遮普邦的洪水

随着人类进入气候导致的不可预测性的新时代，研究宗教在塑造人们对灾难的认识和对灾难的反应中的作用将变得越来越重要。对于南亚地区尤其如此，那里的人口密集，肯定会受到气候变化的不利影响。这项贡献探索了宗教塑造和调解巴基斯坦灾难的方式。在该领域以前的工作集中于极端主义者和激进分子的地方，我的研究考虑了活着的伊斯兰教徒的潮流，他们对自然资源开发问题采取了明确的立场。借助广泛的原始数据，我确定了渗透到国家和社会的两种截然不同的灾害宇宙学。首先，我考虑专家和决策者的官方伊斯兰教，其发展方法来自于：但是可以说，它以教条，基于信仰的信念来掌握和利用自然的必要性，超越了英美殖民和冷战范式的现代主义。第二个是形成鲜明对比的形式，嵌入在代表边缘化选区的政治抗议运动中，这是旁遮普省南部塞拉基语国家的人口，在2010年洪水过后，社会和环境正义问题动员了洪水影响者。
