Abstract (EN)

As a result of our study in the light of the verses of the Quran, water is thought as one of the first created substances. The first man was created from mud, a mixture of water and soil. One of the reasons for living beings to continue their lives and generations is water. Due to the dependence of life on water, water is life or life can be called as water. The Quran contains the word 'ma', which means water, and other words that mean water. It also contains words that evoke the meaning of water alongside the other things. There are parable related to water in the Quran. There are stories (kıssa) in the QUR'AN, in terms of testing with water, destruction with water, healing with water and feeling at calm with water. It is reported in some verses that one of the rewards in Heaven is water. There are also verses expressing some of the punishments will be with water in Hell. One of the concepts mentioned in the Quran is the concept of life. The concept of life has been used in different meanings. Likewise, there are words that evoke the concept of life. The concept of spirit, which is one of the important concepts related to life, is also mentioned. The soul which provides life is mentioned in various meanings in the Quran. The Quran declares that everything living is created from water. It tells about the creation of Hz. Adam and human beings, whose lives started with water and continued with it. However, he declares that it is Almighty Allah, who creates and gives life to all living and inanimate beings. Water is vital in the life of all living things. In the Qur'an, it is said that the water having a vital value is lowered from the sky very clearly, and that it is an important factor in cleaning and worship. In addition, it is understood that water is a source of healing for people as described in the story of Hz. Eyyûb. Zamzam water that Allah Almighty gave to Hz. Ismail and Hz. Hacer was a source of life for Mecca then and it is a water that the Prophet (pbuh) and Muslims gave great importance to.
