It's been very difficult to keep up with this because I have limited space, things also don't grow very well during the winter months.Zarina Hassemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006581679493801167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-46260225696842118642013-09-23T15:22:46.102+02:002013-09-23T15:22:46.102+02:00Salaams Sister: Found this blog through a Google s...Salaams Sister: Found this blog through a Google search for Muslim female gardners :) Am wondering how you're making out with your gardening?

And it also confirms everything, when you are planting and watching things grow, you have to admit that these verses are absolute truth and that Allah Almighty has all power. We can do nothing, it is Allah who is in control of everything. SubhanAllah. How often do we miss out on this because we get caught up in this life, May Allah always help us to remember Him Inshaa-Allah.<br /><br />And brother, may Allah reward you for sharing Allah's words from the most beautiful book.Zarina Hassemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006581679493801167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-17876824139916607502012-02-04T16:32:36.434+02:002012-02-04T16:32:36.434+02:00Sister,
Masha-Allah, I am glad to know about you...Sister,<br /><br />Masha-Allah, I am glad to know about your interest in planting vegetables and how this single tomato plant helped you to practically witness the creation of a plant and its fruit stage by stage. <br /><br />We can clearly see that we do nothing except preparing the soil,sowing the seeds and watering the plant etc. all praise to the Sustainer Who is the Creator.<br /><br /><br />Finally, I wanted to share some verses of the Quran and I hope you being a "farmer" would love to read them :)<br /><br />58 Have you considered the seed? <br />59 Is it you that create it or are We the creators? <br />60 We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome, <br />61 In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not. <br />62 And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind? <br />63 Have you considered what you sow? <br />64 Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth? <br />65 If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin to lament: <br />66 Surely we are burdened with debt: <br /><br /><br /><br />I hope you will share more about your garden and the lesson learned from these wonderful experiments. <br /><br />Best WishesAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156194228416166205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-82396027830793833942012-02-01T12:38:38.847+02:002012-02-01T12:38:38.847+02:00Ati

That's such a lovely activity to take up: firstly a great reminder of Allah's Creation, handy with veggies on hand whenever you want them, and also must have been a great exercise in patience and care-giving.Ghadeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811397676327530873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836251197436903730.post-79262232876542574262012-01-29T23:32:35.973+02:002012-01-29T23:32:35.973+02:00Um Dayo

Literally, I could not have said it better myself. I want so badly to grow veggies and fruits for this very reason, or reasons, rather. Thank you so much for writing this. You have inspired me to keep pestering my husband about getting the containers and soil and seeds for my balcony (as I, too, live in the city)Um Dayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745636563521355726noreply@blogger.com
