More than a hundred Ahmadiyya Muslim members gathered to celebrate National Tree Day on July 26, 2015, by teaming up with local volunteers and planted more than 2500 trees along Eumemmerring Creek in Doveton, Southeast Melbourne.
The group included youngsters from the Bait-ul-Salam (The House of Peace) mosque, Langwarrin.
The campaign, in its 20th year running, aims to motivate all Australians to put their hands into the earth and give back to community.
In an interview to The Age, youth branch President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria, Mr Kaleem Mohammed said, "We have people aged 10 to 55 years participating in the event. As a community we actively take part in humanitarian activities, like donating blood and the Red Cross Door Knock appeal."
What Islam teaches about environment, Mr. Muhammad further explained, "We also want to teach the youth the importance of looking after the environment. Islam is all about peace and that's what we are promoting. We are happy to be Australians, this is our country. As Australians we want to take part in any event as Muslims for good of mankind."
