Trees are useful for food, health and green-cover. They are of medicinal value also. They supply wood for construction. Work for people and fuel for domestic consumption. Forests play an important role in the climate of the region. They control decibel level and soil erosion, and help rain fall.
Reclamation of land includes planting of trees. The Prophet said: What people or animals eat from the trees or the crop are the offerings made by the cultivator.
Whatever is eaten from the produce of a tree, planted by a Muslim, is an offering for him. If anything is stolen from it, it is also an offering. What the wild animals eat of it is also an offering. What the birds eat is also an offering. If a man takes anything from it, it is also an offering.
The benefits of planting trees and undertaking cultivation have been mentioned. There is also inducement for reclamation of land here.
The above traditions are evidence that one could possess fertile lands and use it for cultivation. It contradicts the view of those ascetic Muslims who are not in favor of such possessions or their operation. From some narrations, it looks as if these activities were looked down upon but the truth is these views hold good only in cases where the man is so lost in these things that he neglects the religious duties.
Trees could be planted or forests could be raised for personal use and these acts are also rewarded by Allah. If they are grown for the public use, the reward would be equally great it is also a form of perennial offering. As per the narration of Abu Muslim the reward from it would continue till the Day of Judgement. The seeds from one tree could be used to grow innumerable trees. Cultivation on a limited strip of land could supply seeds for further cultivation. As long as this process continues, the reward would also continue, and this could continue till the Last Day of Judgement.
