Respect Water | A Divine Blessing We Take for Granted | An Islamic & Human Responsibility | Water Is Life | Don’t Waste Water
Respect Water
Dear Children! Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat ‘Allamah Muhammad Ilyas Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ states:
We are accountable for every drop of water we use. Whenever you make wudu, open the tap as much as you need it, but not more than that. Opening it too much and wasting water is not good. Wasting the water of a masjid or madrassa, which is waqf, is even worse.
(Malfuzaat Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Qist 101; Sansani Khayz Manazir daykh kar kya Tasawwur karna chahiye?, p. 10)
Water is a life-giving, precious bounty of Allah Almighty. We need to respect this bounty and not waste it. Use water carefully when making wudu, taking a bath, or washing your hands, face, and feet. Do not use more water than you actually need.
