Planting Is Charity

عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا أَوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ طَيْرٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ إِلَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ

From the Prophet S.A.W, who spoke: “No Muslim plants a plant or sows a seed and (its harvest) is consumed by a person, bird, or livestock except that that becomes a charity for him.” (Narrated in Tirmizi, No.: 1303)

Moral:

1. Any form of good deed by a Muslim will be rewarded in the sight of Allah.

2. A Muslim who plants a tree which bears fruit to be eaten by others or animals will be rewarded for his deed.

3. Whatever contribution from a Muslim which benefits others, including non-Muslims and animals, will be a charity attributed to him.

Let’s contribute what we can to get that fixed deposit reward in the Hereafter.
