Planting fruit

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

I came across a few hadith and had to share them! (I will look up the references later, but if anyone has them, please feel free to say so in the comments section)

“When a Muslim plants a plant, anything eaten of it or stolen from it, until the Day of Resurrection, is accounted as charity for him.”

How beautiful is that? I've planted trees which I've left behind, and I've planted herbs and vegetables which have been shared/given and even some have been stolen. I'm so excited now, I want to go out and plant a whole bunch more!! Talk about planting FRUIT!!

“How praiseworthy are the women of Ansar that their modesty does not prevent them from attempts at learning and the acquisition of knowledge.”

In other words, women should be modest, yet it is praiseworthy if they acquire knowledge. (One must of course understand this means good knowledge, and there's no point in knowledge if what you're learning is how to rob a bank!)

A little clarity - these may surprise you if you live on what the media feeds you -

“The Prophet has prohibited the believers from looting and plunder" (Bukhari)
“Do not destroy villages and towns, do not spoil the cultivated fields and gardens, and do not slaughter the cattle.”
“Do not kill any old person, any child or any women” (AbuDawud)
“Do not kill the monks in monasteries” and “ do not kill the people who are sitting in places of worship.” (Ibn Hanbal)
“Do not attack a wounded person.”
“No prisoner should be put to the sword.”
“The greatest sins are to associate something with God and to kill human beings.”
