Tale of an extraordinary tree

We are growing a different kind of tree in our house; a tree which does not need any seed, sunlight, air or water to grow up, rather it needs good deeds.

After seeing sister Umm Abdul Basir's good deed tree I included it into our Ramadan’s plan. Because it’s Ramadan, when we get multiplied rewards for our good deeds. We were actually inspired by the following hadeeth-

The Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) addressed his companions on the last day of Sha`ban, saying, "Oh people! A great month has come over you; a blessed month; a month in which is a night better than a thousand months; month in which Allah has made it compulsory upon you to fast by day, and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer (to Allah) by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month) shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at any other time, and whoever discharges an obligatory deed in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time. It is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Heaven. It is the month of charity, and a month in which a believer's sustenance is increased. Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast shall have his sins forgiven, and he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall have the same reward as the fasting person, without his reward being diminished at all." [Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah]

I explained to RA that Ramadan is the best month of the year and you would get more rewards than any other months for every good deed you do in this month. I hope she understood the value and importance of doing good deeds in this month.

Here you can see our good deed tree which has only few leaves now. We hope that it will be in full bloom pretty soon inshaAllah. 

We actually had to plant our tree twice. Our first one was endured lots of rips and tear by our little learner RNA. I think he did not like the idea of growing a paper tree. But Alhamdulillah we were able to do it again and hung it on the wall way above he can reach.

InshaAllah we are going to use this post to participate into sister Umm Sarah's Ramadan giveaway.
