Wastefulness
and preserving Allah’s creations
by Salam Aref

When I wash my hands,
I wash it with just enough water.
I don’t play.
Water is gift from Allah
& I don’t waste my gift

When I take a shower,
I use just enough water to keep me clean.
Water is gift from Allah
& I don’t waste my gift

When I make Wudu,
I use just enough water to finish my Wudu
Water is gift from Allah
& I don’t waste my gift

When I eat my food
I finish everything in my plate and I don’t
throw it away.
Food is gift from Allah
& I don’t waste my gift

Sounds good!
But why is not wasting
considered a good habit
that Allah loves?

Let’s search and find out!

One day
Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) saw a man
performing Wudu
by a river

so the prophet told him:
Don’t waste water
even if you are on a
running river.

the man was puzzled. He said:
Even if I’m performing
Wudu using this water?
The prophet replied:
Yes. even if it’s Wudu
