          DRINKING WATER

First of all have a seat before drinking the water and then drink the glass of water in 3 parts :

Starting with Bismillah hir-Rahma nir-Rahim.

After drinking the first part say ‘’ Subhanallah’’ — after 2nd part say ‘‘Alhamdo lillah’’ and after the last part of water say ‘’ Allah ho Akbar’':wave:

i knew about sitting down and drinking water in 3 mouth fulls but not about praying 2

  4. Not to breath into the utensil (Mustadrak al-Haakim)
  5. To say Bismillah before drinking. (Sahih Bukhari and al-Azkaar)
  6. To recite the following Du'aa after drinking, 'Alhamdulillaahi llaadhiy at'ama wa saqaa, wa sawwaqahu wa ja'ala lahu makhraja.' (Abu Dawud). This Du 'aa could also be recited after eating. (Ibid)
