The importance of forests cannot be denied. In the modern scientific era, where science and
technology are developed, there are many problems of climate change and environmental
pollution. Forestry is very important to deal with these Challenges. Today governments are
aware of forests and are enacting laws to ensure the protection of forests, but Islam has
informed the importance of forests and its protection centuries before today. The Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم has encouraged planting trees and has described the virtues of planting trees, which can
be used to estimate the need for planting trees among people. In this way, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
forbade the cutting of trees in Medina, which indicates the prohibition of unnecessary cutting
of forests.
Today, deforestation is a daily routine in our society, which is having a very bad impact on
the environment and climate.
