Conserve Water, Preserve Life !

Water Conservations in the Sunnah What is extravagance in the use of water? The Messenger of Allah passed by Sa'd while he was performing ablution and said, "What is this extravagance, Sa'd?" He said, "Is there extravagance in the use of water?" He said, "Yes, even if you are at a flowing river." (Related by Ahmad and Ibn Majah.)

THE WATER THAT WENT DOWN THE DRAIN

Do we waste water? Do we think its free? How it gets to us, those efforts we dont see

In so many parts of the world you know Theres severe water shortage and crops dont grow

Their livestock dies too and theres famine around

While for you and I, precious water doesnt count

So lets look at some things we can do every day With a little thought and effort, theres so much we can save

Pour in water, but only as much as we drink Stop filling the glass up to almost the brim

When were thirsty next time, we can drink from it If we cant drink it all, cover the glass with a lid

Its a good way of saving both water and time That way we wont 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 Lets not turn them on for only a few things

Or shampooing our hair Lets turn off the tap while were brushing our teeth or while scrubbing our feet

As for our showers, when were under that spray Its not the place to plan our life or our day

While washing our cars, lets not give them a bath Lets try to save water when doing this task

I could keep going on, there are so many ways If we think its important, so much water can be saved Its really high time that we lived our lives On a conscious level, with our conscience alive

For be sure of one thing – that someone, somewhere Needs that water we waste, while we dont care.
