Abstract

UDK: 608.1:28

Bosnia and Herzegovina is faced with a growing problem of abandoned and uncultivated lands, which in turn results in shortages of food, losses in livestock funds, and most importantly alienation of man from his role and his mission here on the earth as ‘khalifa’- vicegerent, ‘master’ or the ‘owner’ of the Earth and its blessings. In this article, we analyse the universal messages of the Qur’an regarding the benefits of cultivating lands, the significance of helping one another, and regulations regarding the Zakat on agricultural products through which we express empathy with underprivileged members of society. The process of migration of the population from agricultural towards urban areas brought about aversion to agriculture as a lesser-valued human activity. This is something we need to address, for from the earth we are created, from its fruits we live and thus it is an integral part of all of us and to it we shall all return.
