Justice in the Prophet’s argument regarding the division of water resources and its role in promoting sustainable development

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the prophetic foundations of water resources management by studying the hadith of Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them) on justice in argumentation that addressed the topic of water (an objective study). It also seeks to derive sustainable principles that can be applied to achieve justice in the distribution of water resources, thus contributing to promoting sustainable development in contemporary societies.

Research Problem: Many societies in the modern era face major challenges related to the scarcity and poor distribution of water resources, which leads to social and environmental conflicts. Despite technological developments, the absence of an ethical and just framework for dividing resources exacerbates the crisis. Therefore, there is a need to study the prophetic legacy as a reference that can provide fair and sustainable solutions to these problems.

In this research, I relied on the hadith of Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr (may God be pleased with them both), and my study was objective.
