I NTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON F AITH - BASED SUSTAINABLE L AND M ANAGEMENT O CTOBER 2014 U GANDA Islamic Farming - Conservation Agriculture for Muslim Farmers in Africa. SAIF AHMAD CHAIR – GLOBAL ONE AFRICA

I NTRODUCTION Islamic farming seeks to develop an Islamic approach to sustainable agriculture that will in the process restore the glory days of Islamic agriculture, Then let mankind look at his food How We poureddown water in torrents, Then We broke open the Earth, splitting [it with sprouts], And caused to grow within it grain, And grapes and herbage, And olives and palm trees, And gardens of dense shrubbery, And fruit and grass— [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock. ­­ Abasa :24-32

Al-falah ( الفلاح ) – The arabic word for agriculture. The verb form ‘falaha’ فلح means: To unfold something in order to reveal its intrinsic properties; to till and break open the surface of the Earth and make its productivity power active. Meanings of the word falah فلاح Reaping the fruits of labour. Since the result of ploughing and cultivation of crops is its multiplication and abundance, the word falah فلاح is used to mean success and prosperity or the attainment of that which one desires or seeks.

I SLAMIC FARMING INNOVATIONS Land Ownership and Labour Rights  For the first time in many places, any individual – man or woman – had the right to own, buy, sell, mortgage and inherit land, and most importantly, farm it as he or she liked. Irrigation Methods  Muslim communities devised new techniques to catch, channel, store and lift the water, and ingeniously combined these with existing devices. Irrigation became cheap, transforming lands that were previously impossible or uneconomic to irrigate. Improved Farming Techniques  Muslims improved farming techniques derived from the collection and collation of information throughout the world. Farming almanacs were produced in every corner of the Muslim world detailing where, when and how to plant and grow various crops. Introduction of New Crops  The Muslim agronomists introduced a diversity of new crops including sugar cane, rice, citrus fruit, apricots, cotton, artichokes, aubergines and saffron. This diversity provided a varied and balanced diet for both humans and livestock, supplying most of the medicines and many raw materials for clothing and industrial processes, and in addition ensured food security throughout the year.

F ROM OUR SCRIPTURES PROMISES FROM ALLAH (RIZQ) “And there is no creature on Earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.” – Hud: 6 Your rizq will not come to you if you do not work for it. That is the essential difference between hiba —­ a gift — and rizq. Your rizq is written for you but in order for you to unlock the door, you need to work as if your rizq depended on how hard you try, but in your heart, you know that nothing will come to you except what Allah (swt) has written for you.

The five promises of Allah; Taqwa (God consciousness)  Allah connects having taqwa with the provision of rizq in the following verse :  “And whoever fears Allah – He will make a way out for him. And will provide for him from where he does not expect.” - At-Talaq 2-3 Tawakkul (reliance on Allah)  “ And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.” At-Talaq: 3 Salah (prayers)  Prayer helps to purify a person when he or she sins. A person who performs his daily prayers can be as pure as the person who takes a bath five times a day in a river as mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Tawba (repentance)  Allah (swt) tests us with our rizq and can withhold it if He so wishes. Repentance is a path that the believing Muslim can take to increase his rizq.“ Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.” - Al- Mulk: 21 Infaq Fisabillah (charity)  When we spending or giving charity in the path of Allah, Allah (swt) according to His boundless mercy gives back many times more.

YUSUF – A S TORY OF S UCCESSFUL A GRICULTURAL M ANAGEMENT The full story of the Prophet Yusuf (AS) in the Qur’an (12) is a beautiful example of succeeding despite all the odds. Tafsir Ibn Kathir explains the story of the Prophet Yusuf (AS) and the Pharoah’s dream in Surah Yusuf of the Holy Qur’an (12:43-50).

F ROM OUR F ARMS Islamic farming suggests that farmers follow six steps in their plant production activities. The six steps are circular; 1. Plan2. Prepare3. Plant4. Provide5. Protect6. Produce
