God says
O children of Adam! Beautify yourselves for every act of worship ; and eat and drink [freely], but do not waste: verily, He does not love the wasteful! - Q. 7:31
Prophet said
“(God disliked that you) squander possessions”– H: Bukhari and Muslim. N: Mughirah.
Once the Prophet passed by his companion Sa`ad who was performing ablution (ie washing before prayers). As Sa'ad was washing himself more than required, he asked, “Why this extravagance?” Sa`ad enquired: "Is there any extravagance in ablution? “Yes” said the Prophet, “Even though you may be doing it from a flowing rivulet.” ‘Manage your resources and do not waste even if a resource is in plenty’ is the message of Islam for the people to remember during, and after the Earth Hour (Saturday 29th of March 2009 between 8:30–9:30, local time, wherever you are).
Let us make every hour for the Earth by living moderately and avoiding waste.Here are three areas, as an example, where waste of resource should be stopped in homes. Electricity, Food and Water. Please visit http://tinyurl.com/EcoCal
