PLANTING A TREE IS SADQA – E – JARIA – Sahih Muslim
Dear Parents,
Truly, plants are the producers and the primary source of food for all living things created by Allah SWT. What a better way to celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY then by purifying our nation through planting trees.
Donation Drive:
Keeping in mind the importance of plantation and its significance in Islam, Hfs Director has decided to DONATE plants students. The foremost aim is to benefit each and every individual and make it sadqa-e-jaria. Certainly, this is an excellent way to share the khair!
As the saying goes, Charity begins at home. Surely, Hfs is our learning abode and the best way to initiate this Go Green drive is from it.
A special assembly will be held on Tuesday, 14th August to celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY and importance of planting trees will be the theme of this special week.
Take the initiative to make your child visit the green areas like parks and streets in the city to show them the different trees planted to keep the city green and growing. You should plant seeds in your own houses and track the plant growing process with your child.
Benefits:
Plants and trees have innumerable benefits with the provision of oxygen, food, shade, habitat and material. These act as temperature controllers, prevent soil erosion and replenish the water supplies through transpiration in the water cycle.
Rewards:
In Islam, planting trees has been valued greatly and whoever partakes in this is rewarded.
“If a Muslim plants a tree or grow grains and a bird, a person or an animal eats from it will be counted as a charity for him.”
(Bukhara, “al-Khars ve’l-Muzara”, Muslim, “Musakaat”, H. No: 12).
“Whoever plants a tree is rewarded by Allah as much as the produce grown in that tree.”
(Ahmad b.Hanbal, Musnad, V, 415.)
“Whoever plants a tree and it matures, Allah plants a tree in paradise for that person.”
(Ahmad b.Hanbal, Musnad, IV, 61).
May Allah SWT reward us immensely in these evergreen endeavors. Aameen
