Plant a tree
"Plant a tree, Let's green the earth together!"
Planting a tree is an act of lasting charity ( sadaqah jariyah ) . Sunrise Foundation is committed to greening villages and communities by planting trees that not only provide oxygen and shade, but also bear fruits that provide livelihood and nutrition for generations. Seeds turn into trees, trees into forests, in the ceaseless march of time. You see that a small tree you planted, tomorrow is part of a big forest. And forests have become a source of health for people. Trees are the cause of many more things that we do not know; habitat provision, water production, biodiversity, soil protection, carbon storage…
What is the impact of planting trees?
- Provides food and shade in areas where extreme heat makes life difficult.
- Provides a source of income through the sale of fruits such as mangoes and papayas.
- Contributes to a cleaner and healthier living environment by absorbing CO2.
- Protects against soil erosion and contributes to fertile soil.

Why plant a tree?
The Messenger of Allah ( saw ) said: “Even if the Day of Judgement comes, if you have a sapling at that time and there is no impediment to planting it , then plant it immediately.” The blessed words of the Master of Mankind explain in the most beautiful way the importance of planting a sapling. Moreover, there are hadiths which state that for the one who plants a tree that will benefit people, that tree will be like charity. Trees are more than just nature. They are a source of life in hot, dry regions where shade is a rare luxury and where the ground is often parched and dry. A single tree can provide an oasis of coolness in the scorching sun, where children and the elderly can rest, and where travelers can take shelter for a while.
In addition, fruit trees such as mango, papaya and dates not only provide food, but also a stable source of income for local communities. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If a Muslim plants a tree or sows a crop and birds, people or animals eat from it, this counts as a form of charity." (Sahih al-Bukhari, SahihMuslim)
What starts small can grow into something big. A single tree can blend into a vast forest, a place full of life and oxygen for the world around us. Trees do so much more than provide shade - they protect the soil, capture water, promote biodiversity and purify the air. Indispensable to humans and nature, they are the breath of our planet.
