As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It’s your Sunnah Infographics Family here.
Hope you're well and in good health.
Do you stay hydrated?
As Summer approaches in some parts of the world.
It’s important to make sure that you always have water close by.
By making sure that you're hydrated..
It means that you have more energy…
Better digestion..
And better brain performance.
But do you know the etiquette of drinking water?
If not..
Let’s consume more..
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Anbiya (The Prophets) - (21:30)
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَٰهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
1 Hadith
وعن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "لا تشربوا واحداً كشرب البعير، ولكن اشربوا مثنى وثلاث، وسموا إذا أنتم شربتم،واحمدوا إذا أنتم رفعتم".((رواه الترمذي))
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Do not drink in one gulp like a camel, but in two or three (gulps). Mention the Name of Allah (i.e., say Bismillah) when you start drinking and praise Him (i.e., say Al-hamdu lillah) after you have finished (drinking)."
[At- Tirmidhi]. Riyad as-Salihin 757
Reflection Point
As the summer approaches..
And the heat starts to increase.
Naturally, we reach for water as the first form of nourishment and sustenance for the body.
But have you contemplated the blessing of water?
A gift that is often overlooked.
A liquid that is pure in every sense...
And a complete nourishment that no other liquid provides.
Will we not then give thanks?
Mentioned in the Qur’an over 1,400 years ago..
Chapter 21 verse 30.
"Every living thing is created from water"
An absolute miracle that was revealed to mankind.
Will you not then believe with certainty?
Question.
Did they have microscopes 1,400 years ago?
Did they have the advanced technology to analyse molecules of the body?
Answer: Ofcourse not!
Infact..
The first microscope was created in 1590 by Hans and Zacharias Janssen.
Which was only 434 years ago…
Ponder and reflect over that!
So as we drink every sip of water...
Be thankful.
Say Bismillah before you drink.
Drink in 2-3 gulps (or more if required)
And say Alhamdulillah when you finish.
In this way..
You have thanked your lord for this great blessing.
And you will be rewarded for following the Sunnah of our Messenger Muhammad (ﷺ).
Insha Allah.
This week your task is to be grateful everytime you sip water.
