How could I Protect my Farm?

Q: Ilm-32: My plantation is being destroyed for several years now. The crops never ripen, the seeds rot or some other disaster takes place. Please tell me what to do to protect my farm from ruin.

Answer: Before planting the seeds, perform wudhu and perform two Rakaahs salaah in one corner of the field. Then recite Durood and humbly plead to Allaah, saying, "O Allaah! I am a weak servant who has handed matters over to You, so please take care of it for me and bless me in it." Thereafter, you should recite Durood again and Inshaa Allaah, your crops will remain safe and be blessed.

When the crops have been harvested, the person weighing them should perform wudhu, face the Qibla and separate the share for the poor. He should then perform two Rakaahs salaah and make du'aa saying, "O my Rabb! I have planted a little seed and You have granted me so much in return. Make it food of obedience to You and do not make it food of disobedience and make me amongst the grateful ones."

A Hadith tells us that people are deprived of sustenance because of sins. One should therefore avoid sins and strive to please Allaah. With trust in Allaah, Allaah will assist one in every difficulty. Allaah says: "Allaah shall create an escape (from difficulties) for the one who fears (disobeying AIIaah (one who has Taqwa) and shall provide for him (what he requires) from sources that he never expected (to receive provisions from). Allaah is Sufficient (to solve all problems) for the one who trusts in Him (who is convinced that only Allaah can assist him). And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
