Salaam alaikum, I am a rural land owner and I have been working towards building a self-sustaining farm here with an intention to begin a small Islamic farming community. I have intentions to start a building a small masjid here and a zawiya. I plan to plant fruit trees to make a small fruit orchard here, and thought I would give people the opportunity to take part in this through donation. In many ahadith the virtue of planting fruit bearing trees have been mentioned; Rasulullah salallah alaihi wa alihi wa salim said, "If any Muslim plants a tree, he receives the reward of giving charity if any insect, bird, or wild animal eats from that tree." - Bukhari "When a Muslim plants any tree, he receives reward if anybody eats from it, steals from it, and if an animal consumes from it as well." - Umdatul Qari Abu Darda said that the reward of sadaqah is recorded for a person who plants any tree or vegetation, when any creation of Allah benefits from it." - Majma' Some ulama have said that taking benefit also includes taking rest under its shade, etc. So as I know many people can not practice this and gain such a level of sadaqa due to having no place to plant a tree, if any brother or sister wanted to donate money, either buy a whole tree or a share in a tree, I would purchase the tree, transport, plant and care for the tree. I can also take pictures of the trees and send them to however would want them. The cost for a whole pear tree would be around $25 Canadian dollars, cherry tree is around $20 canadian dollars, apple trees are a bit more expensive around $50 canadian dollars. I can get the exact price of these trees, but compared to the virtue gained by this act the cost is very small. If anyone is interested please respond to this thread. Jazakumullah khair.
