Commentary
Cultivation of land and planting of trees provide multiple benefits to the society. The environment of the area is improved, fruits, food, grains and vegetables become easily available to the community, jobs are increased and commercial activities take place, and life becomes easier and more comfortable. Therefore, if a Muslim cultivates the land with the sincere intention of bringing benefit to the society, he gets reward from Allāh.
