10dust of the soil of surface. This water is stored at the bottom of
the soil. So, this water is free from germs and it is fresh. Our
health remains good when we drink this fresh water.
In some places arsenic is found in water of the tube-wells. So,
water of these tube-wells where harmful arsenic is found should
not be used.
We also use water of the rivers, canals and ponds. We should be
careful about water remaining pure and fresh. We should not
throw any filth or waste materials in water, nor should we use
them for the purpose of attending to nature's call nor cattle
should be bathed there. Water should not be wasted. We shall
use water up to the limit of our necessity. Allah does not like the
wasteful people.
Water is the gift of Allah. His kindness is boundless. Allah, the
Exalted has kept alive the billions of people, the animals, the
birds, the insects, the trees, the shrubs, the creepers of this vast
world through the water cycle. He is rearing us by pouring
water regularly on our fields of crops Allah has proclaimed in
the Quran:
"Have you thought about the water that you drink? Do you
yourselves bring this water from the cloud or I cause it?"
(surah waqia, V. 68-69)
We can know about the greatness and kindness of Allah if we
look at a picture of water cycle and understand how He is
supplying water regularly to all of this vast earth through this
water cycle.
