“The best charity is giving water to drink.” (Hadith Ahmad)
“He sends down saving rain for them when they have lost all hope and spreads abroad His mercy.” (Quran 25:48).
In the Holy Quran, Allah describes water – rain, to be exact – as mercy. Water is the key to all life, and providing it isn’t just a mercy, it’s the best charity, according to the hadith of the Messenger (ﷺ).
£20 – provide one person with access to clean water, solar lighting, and handwashing points in Somalia.
£150 – Provide clean water to displaced families in Rafah through our desalination plant.
£430 – install one arsenic and iron removal unit in Bangladesh, purifying water for 55 families.
£3,500 – Help us to rehabilitate a water centre for an entire community in Yemen.
A staggering 2.2 billion people don’t have reliable access to clean water. That’s almost 3 in every 10 people who doesn’t have this basic right to safe water. Not only do they not have clean water to drink, but they can’t safely wash their food, grow vegetables, feed their livestock, or keep their homes clean.
This Ramadan, help us to transform communities with sustainable clean water programmes. Our water projects are overseen by water engineers and specialists who ensure that each project is suited to the local environment, while meeting the needs that will keep access to water sustainable. Every single time a person, animal, or any living thing benefits from your water charity, you’ll receive blessings through this Sadaqah Jariyah inshallah.
Give mercy today.
A Sadaqah Jariyah
Access to water is a beautiful Sadaqah Jariyah, not only because it provides ongoing solutions to water scarcity, but because it addresses what the Prophet (ﷺ)described as the best charity – water to drink.
Donate your Sadaqah and Zakat in Ramadan, when good deeds are rewarded multiple times over, and inshallah, you’ll receive elevated blessings in the future too. Give the best charity in the best month of the year.
“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him.” (Hadith Muslim)
Start your legacy and reap the blessings in the hereafter.
Give mercy now.
