Our freshwater sources are depleting drastically.

The Sunnah provides guidance. We have been blessed with a respect for water and mindfulness of scarcity. The design of wudu itself is a means of reducing water usage by providing a method of cleanliness that does not require a full bath.

Your Brother & Sister

🪞 Reflection: 
Awareness is the first step towards change.

As you go through your day, observe all the ways you can cut back on water in your own life. Notice ways our communities can reduce water consumption in our homes, our offices, and our centers.

Each drop saved is a step towards a sustainable future and an act of reverence for the blessings bestowed upon us.
