Muhammad and water
When the prophet and his companion were once on a long hard journey, they
stopped by a clear stream. It was a hot day and Muhammad's companions immediately went into the water and let it freely splash over them. When
they looked up the prophet had taken a small bowl from his carrier and had scooped a small amount to wash in. Amazed the companions asked why. ‘Who gave us these good gifts but
Allah and he gave enough for all but we should only take what we need and
not waste any part’.
What point is Muhammad making here?
What lesson can Muslims learn from this?
How could they put this teaching into practice?
Some Muslims join and volunteer for organisations that work for the
environment. Organisations such as ISLAMIC RELIEF recognise the link between poverty and
environmental care.
Islamic Relief states...’we all have a responsibility to maintain the balance of the earth, especially as
disruption between the balance is causing widespread suffering amongst the worlds poorest
people.’
What do you think is meant by this statement?
Do you agree?
Islamic Relief ensures that, while providing short-and long-term relief for those who are suffering, they do so in an environmentally
safe way.
Do you agree with this approach? Why might some people disagree with you?
Grade A/A*Some will be
able to express an
opinion on the link between
environmental issues and poverty.
