Now that the summer is on us please put a pot full of water in the balcony for birds, to protect them in hot summer. If your house is a row house type, request to do the same for animals.
And will make him [('Îsa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, a figure like that of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah's Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe.
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #49)
the other week, i saw a cat roaming the hallways in the commercial bldg where our office is located. i put a paper cup with cold water outside our door where i saw him "loitering". he did not mind it:-( the bdlg caretaker took it and threw it away.
and yes, do put some water outside of your gates/ houses. i am reminded of our 3 dogs back home who fall in line in front of the water bowl during the summer time. never fails to make me smile.
lovely idea tcom .. u r such a good heart .. may god bless u ... havent ever thought of it ... but daily i leave little excess water in bucket outside after watering the plants just to c how much water get evaporated ...
i used to leave food for cats earlier ... but it got me a problem all cats started breeding inside our compound .. and had to forcibly stop cos of the mess they do ...
You're right, it takes days for birds to get used to your place (where food is). The first few days they would pick food and fly away, one more day they would stay briefly with cautious, next you know they claim the place for themselves...:)
No birds came to have the water which i kept near my kitchen window before...but a week back, i left some grains and rice along its side...now some birds come have the grains and drink little water...happy to see them near my window...
[16.79] Do they not see the birds, constrained in the middle of the sky? None withholds them but Allah; most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe
[21.79] So We.made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers.
[2.260] And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! show me how Thou givest life to the dead, He said: What! and do you not believe? He said: Yes, but that my heart may be at ease. He said: Then take four of the birds, then train them to follow you, then place on every mountain a part of them, then call them, they will come to you flying; and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.
If you take care of human beings (the supreme creature of Allah, Almighty), Allah will take care of you. So, please love all creatures and specially human beings. The Almighty has created all creatures for human beings and human beings for His worship.
Tcom - Its done . when i mentioned , the small one at home came and told me that the building opposite to us, ministry for children..bla bla, keeps food and water everyday for the birds and a big bunch of them comes there for the feast. :)
i think that a shallow bowl would be best as water container so the bird (especially the younger ones) would not drown in case it might fall on the bowl. p.s. plus to provide the birds a small place to swim in case they want to take a bath.:)
speed, "even in the jungle" i sure can find the birds: there are trees in jungle.. in Doha there is no one single tree.. i always thought birds are somehow connected to the trees.. i was wrong then...

Done. Like Happy Happy, we buy bird seed. We also continue to keep small and large bowls with fresh water for the birds and cats.
You're right, it takes days for birds to get used to your place (where food is). The first few days they would pick food and fly away, one more day they would stay briefly with cautious, next you know they claim the place for themselves...:)
You can have them get used to you, if you like.
Salam
You can't teach experience...

I think if we will leave water for the birds outside our homes, they will die....the water will be boiling !
That is a wonderful advice! =)
I don't have a balcony though... but I'll find a way!

And Yes, it will be a daily habit now topping the tray with fresh water.
Have a nice day to one and all :)
