“Despite the cold weather we had a pleasant and friendly session with members of White Rose Forest and local communities. We are committed to doing our bit to improve the environment and beautify the local communities we live in. It is a cause close to our hearts because Islam places enormous emphasis on taking care of the environment and particularly on the planting of trees”.
