Engineering Model, Prophetic Tradition, Water Conservation
Abstract
Water management and conservation are critical challenges in the modern world, especially in regions facing water scarcity. Prophetic traditions provide valuable insights into sustainable water use, emphasizing conservation, moderation, and respect for natural resources. These traditions have long guided practices that promote efficient water management, which is increasingly relevant in the context of contemporary environmental challenges. This research aims to explore how the principles derived from prophetic traditions can inform engineering models for sustainable water use. The study utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, combining historical insights from Islamic teachings with modern engineering techniques to develop a model for efficient water management and conservation. Through case studies, qualitative analysis, and design simulations, this research evaluates the application of prophetic water conservation methods in modern water systems. The results demonstrate that integrating these practices, such as limiting water wastage, using water-efficient technologies, and promoting communal responsibility, can significantly enhance water conservation efforts in both urban and rural settings. The study concludes that a sustainable water management model inspired by prophetic traditions can effectively address current water scarcity issues while preserving ecological balance and fostering community awareness.
