Land
Resources
What are land resources? Well , land resources can be taken to mean the
resources available from the land. the agricultural land which contain natural
fertiliser for growth of the products to continue living. For example, the underground
water, the various minerals like coal, bauxite, gold and other raw materials
are all land resources.The more a country is able to locate and use the raw
materials, the more the industrialisation of that area or maybe country. In a
wider sense, land resource can also mean the land available for exploitation,
like non agricultural lands for buildings, developing townships and many more.Land
resources in a proper way refers to a delineable area of the earth’s
terrestrial surface, encompassing above or below this surface, including those
of the near surface climate,the surface hydrology,the near surface sedimentary
layers and associated groundwater and geohydrological reserve.
The reason why I chose land resources to
be my topic is because of the importance of land resources to living things
like we human beings. Without land resources, we are helpless. In my opinion,
land resources are one of the gifts from Allah S.W.T to us so that we can
continue living in this world to continue our ‘ibadah’ towards Him.Besides
that, I also chose this topic because land resources contribute a large portion
of our country’s income.Moreover, I also chose this topic because it can bring
joy to everyone.For example, gold and silver can bring happiness and joy to everyone
especially women.I also chose land resources because of its economic value and
the interest I have in exploitation of minerals.Exploitation of minerals can be
very interesting if you look at it in a proper way.I also think that the
resources that we gain from our very own land can be useful in our daily lives.There
are a few functions of land resources.

Land resources have very much their own
function in this world. Their function is to support our daily lives and to
render us useful materials and minerals for us to rejoice our life.Besides
that, land resources can also be used for selling which will increase one’s
income.Moreover, land resources are used to show us what Allah S.W.T has given
us for us to proceed with our lives.Land resources can also be used for the
development of the city and town to support our community that is enlarging
with the passing of time.Land resources can be used to create better materials
so that we can perform our ibadah more efficiently with the convenience of
structures.Land resources have their own function in increasing the plants and
animal populations in the world.Land resources also have their own use as a
water storage and human activities.
Land resources can bring benefit to the people
, the country and even the whole world. Land resources have assisted us in our
daily lives so that we can live a better life to continue living and to give
our ‘ibadah’ towards Allah S.W.T..The benefits that land resources could give
are just simply too many to even be imagined by any human being.For example,
gold that can be exploitated from the land and processed to become a pure gold
can give happiness to women and it makes them look more beautiful.Minerals such
as bauxite are widely used to process aluminium.Moreover, land resources gave
our country a big benefit in our income because of the richness of tin ore in our country.Many countries do not
have what we have in Malaysia and this is one of the things that benefits
us.There are causes that lead to the foundation of land resources.Land
resources have benefited the animal population and brought benefit for the
country as water absorbers to avoid flood.Land resources have also made we
humans to study it to improvise our plantation for a better life.

One of the causes of the foundation
land resources is the curiousity of the humans towards the use of land.More and
more land resources were introduced by the passing of time starting from the
people after Prophet Adam A.S.. But now, it seems that all the resources have been
introduced and they are still looking for new ones.Land resources also happened
because of the wish of Allah S.W.T. to help us humans in our lives. Besides
that, heavy exploitation of land resources were also caused by the greed of
humans to gain more than enough to satisfy their greeds.Land resources were
also caused by its natural properties which occur underground and nobody has
any idea about it. But can we imagine if land resources never existed? We have
to thank Allah for all His givings.
If land resources were not to exist in this
world, What will we be like? Can we survive in this world? This is the question
that we must have in our minds. Land resources are limited and its quantity
will decrease linearly with the passing of time.If the exploitation of land
resources are continued and it gets even more heavy , wouldn’t the resources
reach zero quantity? The exploitation companies should take note of this and
think of it as what if land resources were to not exist in our daily lives.This
will definitely change their perception towards land resources.Without land
resources, our country would probably flood everytime it rains , have no
vegetables or fruits to be eaten.Besides that , We would also be lacking of
useful substances with physical , chemical and biological properties. We must
also not forget to thank Allah S.W.T for his wonderful gift which is our land
resources.Our top leaders and scholars have their own view on land resources.

Land resources are viewed differently from our top leaders and
scholars.Our latest prime minister, Tan Sri Najib Tun Razak said that land
resources can be the key of success for a country due to its benefits.An
Iranian scholar from University of Malaya said that land resources are a gift
from Allah S.W.T for us and we have to use it properly and for the right
path(path to Islamic properties).Our deputy prime minister Datuk Muhyiddin
Yassin said that land resources are considered as our national treasure and
must be exploitated for the benefit of us Malaysians and to give us a better
life.Based on the views by our top leaders and scholar , I’ve found that they
have one point that is identical which is land resources are a benefit to us
people and must be used for a better life.Although land resources are very
useful , people tend to abuse and misuse the resources for other purposes.
The greed of human beings lead to the
misuse of land resources for other purposes.Companies that are responsible for
the exploitation of land resources misused their power and they are doing
excessive exploitation of the land resources.This is due to the greed of obtaining
more profit and money.Excessive exploitation will lead to the finishing of land
resources.This endangers the future life of our next generation.Selfishness can
be seen in theeyes of these people and they forgot that these resources are
meant for all Allah S.W.T’s creatures that live here on this earth.Heavy
exploitation of land resources have also brought severe disturbances to the
balance in the bio-geophysical systems.These disturbances have reduced the
earth’s capacity to absorb adverse effects and have impaired its regenerative
ability to restore the losses suffered through exploitation.These deliberate
destructive actions have caused serious damages and will endanger the whole
world in the future.Misuse of land resources have created an impact to the
world.

Land
resources made an impact in our Malaysian economy. It has increased our
country’s income by a big number which has brought up our country’s name. Land
resources have given certain people that are thankful one of the gifts by Allah
S.W.T..Land resources have also made some bad impacts like it has caused the
greediness in some people to increase and turning them into selfish people.Exploitation
of land resources have made an impact by making the bio-geophysical systems
imbalance.It has also caused serious damages to the nature defences of this
planet.Moreover, it has reduced the earth’s capacity to absorb adverse effects
and have impaired its regenerative ability to restore the losses suffered
through exploitation of land resources.
From this topic , I can conclude
that land resources have given us so many benefits but it also made some good
and bad impacts on we human beings. It shows that we have to use the land
resources properly(Lillahi Ta’ala).It shows that land resources play an
important part in this world we are living in. I have used some references in
order to do this assignment. Websites such as Wikipedia and Google have been
widely used in the making of this assignment.
