A gift for your congregation

Bring it for iftar

Keep the habit going

Faith in everyday actions
The Earth
is an Amanah.
Amanah means a trust.
Caring for what Allah has entrusted to us starts with the choices we make every day.
Care is a responsibility.The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا فَيَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ
“The world is sweet and green. Allah makes you stewards in it and observes how you act.”
Why it matters
One congregation.
A better everyday habit.
Caring for our Amanah can begin with the bottle we choose.
The disposable habit
Used once.
The journey continues.
- 01 · MAKE
Resources go in.
Making plastic bottles uses raw materials, often oil and gas, and energy.
- 02 · REPLACE
The cycle repeats.
Take a new disposable bottle each time, and the demand continues.
- 03 · DISCARD
Waste adds up.
Every discarded bottle needs managing. Litter can reach rivers and seas.
A habit worth keeping
Make refilling part of Masjid life.
- 01Refill
- 02Use
- 03Bring back
Each refill that replaces a disposable bottle means one fewer bottle to throw away.
Less single-use waste
Encourage worshippers to bring their bottle back.
Useful beyond Ramadan
Refill for iftar, then keep using it at home.
Care put into practice
Turn the responsibility of Amanah into an everyday choice.
وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا
“Eat and drink, but do not waste.”
Arrange safe drinking water, show people where to refill and encourage them to bring their bottle back.
The benefit comes from repeated use. A suitable reusable bottle you already own works too.

Are the bottles free for worshippers?
Yes. The bottles are intended to be given to worshippers free of charge.
Can we apply before arranging a refill point?
Yes. Tell us what you have in place and where you need help. Access to safe drinking water is important so people can keep using their bottles.
Will we receive the number we request?
