Clean water for the poor and needy is one of the best forms of Sadaqah-e-Jariyah
“And have you seen the water that you drink? Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down? If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?” [Qur’an 56: 68-70]
Water is such a crucial part of our existence and yet we take it for granted. As Muslims, it is important to acknowledge water as one of the immense mercies of Allah (most high) that has been bestowed upon us. Using the blessings of water as a source of growth, sustenance and purification, we are required to perform wudhu (ablution) using water before prayer throughout the day. With descriptions of paradise mentioning adorned gardens wherein rivers flow, we know that water will also benefit us in the afterlife, thus reinforcing its importance to mankind.
