As a universal religion born initially in the harsh deserts of Arabia to complete the message of former prophets and convey the divine revelation in its last testament (Qur’an),Islam ascribes the most sacred qualities to water as a life-giving, sustaining and purifying resource.It is the origin of all life on earth, the substance from which Allah created man (Al-Furqan 25:54), and the Holy Qur’an emphasizes its centrality: {We made from water every living thing} (Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:30). Water is the primary element that existed even before the heavens and the earth did:{And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and his Throne was upon the waters}(Hud 11:7).The water of rain, rivers and fountains runs through the pages of the Qur’an to symbolize Allah’s benevolence:{He sends down saving rain for them when they have lost all hope and spreads abroad His mercy} (Ash-Shura 42:28).advirshadkaamil.
