Water, a critical resource for human survival, holds profound theological significance in Islam and Christianity, symbolizing purification, divine grace, and communal responsibility. This comparative study examines the teachings of the Qur’an, Hadith (including Shiite traditions), and the Bible on water, analyzing their implications for conservation and sustainable management across theological, historical,and contemporary dimensions. Through textual analysis, historical review, and case studies from water-scarce regions like the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa, the study highlights shared values of stewardship and equity, alongside divergent legal and sacramental approaches. Drawing on peer-reviewed literature and Shiite sources, it explores how these faiths inform modern water conservation strategies, addressing global scarcity challenges. The findings emphasize the potential of faith-based frameworks to complement Sustainable Development Goal, offering actionable insights for policymakers, religious leaders, and communities.

This research explores the ethical principles guiding business practices in Islamic and Christian traditions, with a focus on key concepts such as honesty, fairness, and social responsibility. Through an analysis of Islamic  texts, including the Quran and Hadith, and Christian scriptures, primarily the Bible, the study highlights both commonalities and differences between the two religious frameworks. The findings show that while both traditions emphasize honesty, justice, and the moral obligation to act ethically in business, they diverge on specific issues like the prohibition of usury (riba) in Islam and the evolution of views on usury in Christianity. The research also examines the practical challenges of applying these ethical principles in contemporary globalized business environments. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how religious ethics can inform modern business practices, offering insights into the application of ethical principles across diverse cultural and religious contexts. Future research areas include the ethical implications of technological advancements and the role of interfaith dialogue in addressing business ethics.
