Sitting and drinking water

Question: Why do we sit when drink water?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), it is recommended to sit while drinking water. This is based on the prophetic tradition and has spiritual and health benefits. When we sit and drink water, it allows us to drink slowly and mindfully, aiding in better digestion and absorption of water by the body.

Additionally, sitting while drinking water is a sign of humility and gratitude, acknowledging the blessings of water provided by Allah ﷻ. It also helps prevent the risk of choking and ensures that the water reaches the stomach smoothly.

Sitting while drinking water is a practice that aligns with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and it is a way to follow his Sunnah in our daily activities. By doing so, we not only gain physical benefits but also spiritual blessings by following the example of the Prophet ﷺ.

May Allah ﷻ grant us the wisdom to follow the beautiful Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in all aspects of our lives and grant us good health and well-being. Ameen.

It’s important to remember that following the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ in our daily activities is a way to seek closeness to Allah ﷻ and to embody the beautiful character of the Prophet ﷺ. May we all strive to follow his example in all that we do. And Allah knows best.
