Water holds a unique and sacred place in Islam. Source of all life according to the Quran, means of purification before every prayer, and the best form of sadaqah according to the Prophet ﷺ — water is at the heart of Muslim faith and practice.
Water in the Quran: source of all life
﷽« And We made from water every living thing. Then will they not believe? »
— Surah Al Anbiya, verse 30
The best sadaqah is giving water
❝« The best charity is giving water to drink. »
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Reported by Ahmad and an Nasa'i
When Sa'ad ibn 'Ubadah asked the Prophet ﷺ what the best form of charity was to give on behalf of his deceased mother, the Prophet ﷺ answered without hesitation: 'Water.' Sa'ad then dug a well and dedicated it to his mother. This story shows how water is considered the most complete and beneficial charity.
