For Farmaan Hasan Khan, social service is not only about helping people in the present. It is also about thinking of the people who will come after us. A cleaner neighbourhood, a healthier environment and a greener tomorrow are all part of the same responsibility. This belief has shaped his growing work in environmental conservation, particularly through tree plantation drives. What may appear to be a simple act of putting a sapling into the soil carries a much deeper message: if we care about our communities, we must also care about the environment in which those communities live.
“Ek Paudha Ala Hazrat Ke Naam”
A significant step in this journey came during the 108th Urs-e-Razvi, with the launch of the “Ek Paudha Ala Hazrat Ke Naam” campaign.
As reported by Live Hindustan, the campaign was launched to promote environmental consciousness and encourage people to plant trees in the name of Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Fazil-e-Bareilvi. The appeal was not restricted to one city or one organisation. Devotees, ulema, imams, madrasas, mosques and social organisations were encouraged to participate and take the message of plantation to their own areas.
The idea behind the campaign is beautifully simple: remember a great personality by planting something that will continue to benefit people and nature.
A tree does not ask who planted it or where a person comes from. It gives shade to everyone. It contributes to cleaner air, supports biodiversity and quietly becomes part of the life of a community.
That makes a tree a particularly meaningful symbol of service.
