بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Allah سبحانه وتعالى judges his servants on the basis of their intentions. Thus, in Islam, even a single drop of water given with sincere intention can shower you with countless blessings.

My People,

Apart from gaining cured from unbearable illnesses, giving water can be a road to paradise. Yes. How can someone go unrewarded who holds compassion and mercy for the servants of Allah سبحانه وتعالى?

Therefore,

If funding a water project is not pocket-friendly to you, you can go to your place of work, office or shop, send someone to help you buy half bag of Nigeria sachet water or 3 bottles of drinking water, take some of it to drink yourself and give the rest to people around you. Wallahi if we really know about the quantum of benefits in doing this, we will choose to starve ourselves just to making sure that we make doing this a habit in our lives.

Above all,

Giving sadaqah does not decrease your wealth. Rather, Allah سبحانه وتعالى multiplies it. Yes. Have a look at a hadith recorded in Sahih Muslim and narrated by Abu Hurayrah. It says:

“Charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives another except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى increases his honour, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى raises his status.”

Thus, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم also assured us by saying, “Charity does not decrease wealth.” So, each time you donate water, whether a glass or sponsoring a complete water project, you invite Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى blessing on you, eventually multiplying your rizq.

Now,

Is Giving Water the Best Form of Sadaqah?

Indeed! Giving water is one of the best and easiest forms of sadaqah. Many people wonder if Zakat or giving money is better. Well, water is unique; it is an everyday need. Though you may give clothes in January, or you may donate food in Ramadan – but water – everyone needs it, regardless of the month or season.

Thus, water stands among the highest forms of charity because it is timeless, easy to give, and holds numerous blessings. It doesn’t require any particular occasion or season – its need is constant, and its impact is immense – both physically and spiritually.

Remember,

According to Hadith 3684, recorded in Sunan Ibn Majah, it is narrated that Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah once asked the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, “O Messenger of Allah, what charity is best?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, “Giving water to drink.”

This hadith highlights that providing water to drink is a noble act.
