Try to remember the QUOTE and be able explain its

meaning.

Muhammad and waterWhen the prophet and his companion were

once on a long hard journey, they stopped by a clear stream. It was a hot

day and Muhammad's companions immediately went into the water and let it freely splash over them. When they

looked up the prophet had taken a small bowl from his carrier and had

scooped a small amount to wash in. Amazed the companions asked why.

‘Who gave us these good gifts but Allah and he gave enough for all but we

should only take what we need and not waste any part’.

 What point is Muhammad making here?

What lesson can Muslims learn from this?

How could they put this teaching into practice?

Some Muslims join and volunteer for organisations that work for the

environment. Organisations such as ISLAMIC RELIEF recognise the link between poverty and

environmental care.

Islamic Relief states...’we all have a responsibility to maintain the balance of the earth, especially as

disruption between the balance is causing widespread suffering amongst the worlds poorest

people.’

What do you think is meant by this statement?Do you agree?

Islamic Relief ensures that, while providing short-and long-term relief for those who are suffering, they do so in an environmentally

safe way.Do you agree with this approach?

Why might some people disagree with you?

Grade A/A*Some will be

able to express an

opinion on the link between

environmental issues and poverty.
