Trees, nature's friends - science and my experience.

Assalamu Alaikum Today I want to share with you some experiences and some scientific analysis about trees.

We all know that trees not only make the surroundings green, but also play a huge role in maintaining the balance of the earth. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release the oxygen we need to breathe. It is said that a large tree absorbs up to 22 kg of carbon dioxide per year. Just think, how much pollution a few trees can reduce together! Not only that, trees keep the surrounding environment cool and clean the air.

Trees are also protectors of the soil. Since their roots hold the soil firmly, soil erosion during storms and floods is greatly reduced. Again, trees store rainwater and increase the groundwater level. This is a huge resource for the future. The relief that can be found in the heat when standing in the shade of a big tree is not found anywhere else.

Now let me tell you about my own experience. When I was a child, there were many big mango trees in my village house. In the afternoon, we would sit in the shade of the tree and talk, play games or read books. When I still remember those moments, my mind feels good. Even today, I have planted some flower and fruit trees at home. Every morning when I see new leaves growing or buds appearing, I really feel like there is a kind of joy hidden within life.

Taking care of trees is a kind of peace for me. When I water them or clean dry leaves, I feel like I am not only doing something for a tree, but I am also calming my mind. Many times, when work pressure or tension increases, I go and sit near a tree, and then I really feel like my mind is becoming lighter.

Finally, I will say that trees do not only give us oxygen or fruits, they create an invisible connection with our lives. Just as trees save the earth, they also bring peace and happiness to our minds. Therefore, it is our responsibility to plant as many trees as possible and take care of them. The trees we plant today will one day become a blessing for our future generations.
