a Charitable Gift

Assalaamu alaikum .Peace be to you

PLANTING OF TREES

Did you know that Islam encourages people to plant trees and all useful plants? Indeed, similar to all acts performed in line with the Islamic world-view, and when done intentionally for the sake of the God almighty, they are considered and rewarded as acts of worshipping.

It was reported that the Prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him-, the last messenger of the God Almighty said: "There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as a charitable gift for him."
The one who planted the tree will have an ongoing reward from the time he planted it until the plants die. even after his death, his rewards will keep increasing as long as other humans and creatures are benefiting from his tree.

the prophet -peace be upon him- encouraged people to work hard under all circumstances; he encouraged planting a palm-tree seedling, even if one realized that the Day of Judgement was only a yard away. It is for this reason that it is prohibited to allow land to stay idle for a long time without working it. Reviving "dead" land leads to creating a legal Islamic right to use it indefinitely, as long as one continues to cultivate it.


I hope this was beneficial
