Conserve Water, Preserve Life!
“THE WATER THAT WENT DOWN THE DRAIN”
Do we waste water? Do we think it’s free?
How it gets to us, those efforts we don’t see
In so many parts of the world you know
There’s severe water shortage and crops don’t grow
Their livestock dies too and there’s famine around
While for you and I, precious water doesn’t count
So let’s look at some things we can do every day
With a little thought and effort, there’s so much we can save
Pour in water, but only as much as we drinkStop filling the glass up to almost the brim
When we’re thirsty next time,
we can drink from it
If we can’t drink it all, cover the glass with a lid
It’s a good way of saving both water and time
That way we won’t have to wash it each time
As for the water guests leave in the glass
It can surely be used for our indoor plants
When it comes to dishwashers and washing machines
Let’s not turn them on for only a few things
Or shampooing our hair
Let’s turn off the tap while we’re brushing our teeth
or while scrubbing our feet
As for our showers, when
we’re under that spray
It’s not the place to plan our life or
our day
While washing our cars, let’s
not give them a bath
Let’s try to save water when doing
this task
I could keep going on,
there are so many ways
If we think it’s important,
so much water can be saved
It’s really high time that we lived our
livesOn a conscious level, with our
conscience alive
For be sure of one thing –
that someone, somewhere
Needs that water we waste,
while we don’t care.
Lessons of Water Conservations in the Sunnah
What is extravagance in the use of water?
Prophet (saw ) discouraged us from wasting water even if we are at a flowing river.(Related by Ahmad and Ibn Majah )
"The Prophet( SAW), used to take a bath with a sa'a of water (1.616 cc) 3 to 5 madd (each 4 madd equals one sa'a). ”
(Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.)
Lesson 2 :
"The Prophet( SAW), used to make ablution with one madd (404 cc) of water.“
(Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.)
Lesson 3 :
The Prophet has said that on the Day of Resurrection Allah will neither talk to, nor look at….
Lesson 4 :
“A man who with-holds his superfluous water. Allah will say to him, "Today I will with-hold My Grace from you as you with-held the superfluity of what you had not created” .”[Al Bukhari 40:557]
