Abstract
Forest is a God gifted natural resources ant its management and conservation on sustainable basis is considered to bet the prime responsibility of every nation if they want to conserve their natural habituates for their future generations .Islam is a universal religion. It teaches humanity especially its believers, to lead a moderate life and prohibits extravagancy. Extravagancy and following wishes and desires results in the unabated loss of natural resources including forests, which creates several hazards for wild life as well as human being. Environmental experts are focusing the concentration of people to these hazards. About one third of human population comprises Muslims, who prefer to act upon the teachings of Islam. In this article we have tried to clarify that planting trees and forests is means of reward for Muslims in this world as in the hereafter as, it is termed as Sadaqa Jaria by the Holy prophet, for them. Cutting of forests unsparingly, is injustice with humanity and wild life. In this review paper, it has been tried to remind people for increasing and extending forests and consider it as a religious duty.
