The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:"If the Hour (end of the world) is about
to be established and one of you was holding a palm shoot, let him take
advantage of even one second before the Hour is established to plant it."
[Sahih Al- Jami' Al-Saghir, No.1424]
While the Prophet (pbuh) has emphasized the importance of caring for the
land, the reality is that due to carelessness and ignorance, the environment
and landscape across the globe is being destroyed. The earth has become
polluted and the climate is changing because of the lack of vegetation, among
other reasons. Hidaya has initiated the One Million Trees Project to address
these concerns.
Goals of the Project are to:
Successfully plant and grow one million trees in ten years, worldwide
Help the new generation to understand the importance and impact of trees on
their lives and the ecosystem.
Teach poor farmers how to plant appropriate trees so they may benefit from
low quality farm lands which face issues such as salinity and lack of water.
This Spring, over 70,000 seedlings have been arranged and are being
distributed. In Pakistan, students from several schools are planting seedlings
with the help of Hidaya's team. Also, several more schools in the USA have
contacted Hidaya and seedlings are being distributed for students to plant
throughout the country. Hidaya is providing seedlings, free of cost to
students and deserving farmers along with brochures which explain the benefits
of trees and how to successfully plant and grow them.
Just imagine, on average it costs only $1 per tree. If you would like to
learn more about the project or are willing to help us in expanding the
project, kindly email, call or donate towards this great cause. For more
