2. Importance of Water
Water is the common name applied to the
liquid form (state) of the hydrogen and oxygen
compound. Pure water is an odorless,
tasteless, clear liquid. Water is one of nature's
most important gifts to mankind. Essential to
life, a person's survival depends on drinking
water. Water is one of the most essential
elements to good health -- it is necessary for
the digestion and absorption of food; helps
maintain proper muscle tone; supplies oxygen
and nutrients to the cells; rids the body of
wastes; and serves as a natural air conditioning
system. Health officials emphasize the
importance of drinking at least eight glasses of
clean water each and every day to maintain
good health.

6. There are many verses in the Glorious Quran that
tell
the readers about the great importance of water for
life
and living beings. “We made from water every living
thing.” Prophets 21:30 Also, “He it is Who created
the
heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne
was over the water - that He might try you, which of
you is best in conduct. But if thou wert to say to
them,
"Ye shall indeed be raised up after death", the
Unbelievers would be sure to say, "This is nothing
but
obvious sorcery!" Hud 11:7. This verse is an
indication
to the honor that Allah has given to water that He
placed His Throne on top of water at the beginning
of
the creation.
7. Why are we surprised at this memory?
Some people may surprise to hear about this and they
may pose the following question: How could water
store information? The answer is: Water is the essence
of life. Humans and other living beings are created of
water. Water makes up %70-90 of the living cells.
Water might make up even more than %90 of some
types of plants. So, why are we surprised to learn that
water possesses certain, wonderful and very special
characteristics?
It is no wonder when we hear about, or even see, a
thin computer chip storing millions of data bits and
bytes. This chip is man-made item. What should we
say about the Creator’s creations! Allah stated in
Glorious Quran AlNaml [The Ants] 27:88, “Thou seest
the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed: but they
shall pass away as the clouds pass away: (such is) the
artistry of Allah, who disposes of all things in perfect
order: for he is well acquainted with all that ye do.”
