Plant Care in Islam

About this book

Has the earth ever adorned itself in your eyes to the point you felt that behind every green leaf and grain of sand lies a tale not yet told? In this book we open a rarely knocked door, to sail a world extending from the roots of the earth to the horizons of the sky. "Plant Care in Islam" is no mere agricultural guide, but a spiritual and human "manifesto" redefining our relationship with this silent planet granting us life with patience. Between this work's covers you will discover how the seedling you plant with your hand is an ongoing "charity" whose effect never ceases, and how Islamic civilization was no mere conquests and cities, but a "green civilization" creative in water extraction, developing soil sciences, and turning deserts into gardens of luxuriant shade. The book gradually carries you on a journey from the inspiring mystery of the "spiritual dimensions" of the agricultural system in Quran and Sunnah, to contemporary jurisprudence answering today's questions on plant cloning, hormones, and pesticides. It is a call to awaken and re-contemplate the behests of the righteous.
