Before Your Time Runs Out… Leave Water Behind
One day, your heart will beat for the last time. Your eyes will close. Your limbs will fall still. And only one thing will matter: what you sent ahead.
For every Muslim who believes in the Day of Judgment, this life is not the end. It’s the test. And the most powerful answer sheet you can leave behind… is a well of clean water.
Because long after you’re buried, the water you gave can still save lives. And save you.
Water: The Most Sacred Sadaqah Jariyah
Of all the forms of charity, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ placed a special blessing on giving water. He said:
“The best charity is giving water to drink.”
— [Ahmad]
Why? Because water is life. It purifies. It nourishes. It heals. Every sip taken from a borehole you built — even years after you’re gone — counts as ongoing reward (Sadaqah Jariyah) written in your name.
That’s how you continue living… even in your grave.
Millions Still Drink from Disease-Ridden Swamps
Right now, somewhere in West Africa, a child is kneeling by brown water filled with insects — drinking, because there’s no other option.
No taps. No wells. No clean water for cooking, bathing, or performing wudu.
You can change that. One borehole brings relief to entire villages. Women no longer walk 5 hours for dirty water. Children stop falling sick. And a forgotten community rises with health, hope, and faith.
This World Will End. But Your Deeds Don’t Have To.
The Qur’an reminds us again and again:
“And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you…”
— [Surah Al-Munāfiqūn, 63:10]
Giving water before you die is not just charity — it’s protection. It’s light in your grave. It’s intercession on the Day your deeds are weighed.
Don’t Wait for a Reminder. Be the Reminder.
Don’t wait to be reminded at your Janazah. Be the one who reminds others now — by acting today.
Whether you fund an entire borehole or contribute to one, your reward is recorded. Your impact is eternal.
Give Water. Leave Light. Meet Allah With a Clean Record.
What will be written about you when you’re gone?
Let it be this:
“They gave water. They saved lives. They built a path to Paradise.”
