Mâide / 89. Ayet
لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاللَّغْوِ ف۪ٓي اَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ يُؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا عَقَّدْتُمُ الْاَيْمَانَۚ فَكَفَّارَتُهُٓ اِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاك۪ينَ مِنْ اَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ اَهْل۪يكُمْ اَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ اَوْ تَحْر۪يرُ رَقَبَةٍۜ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلٰثَةِ اَيَّامٍۜ ذٰلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ اَيْمَانِكُمْ اِذَا حَلَفْتُمْۜ وَاحْفَظُٓوا اَيْمَانَكُمْۜ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اٰيَاتِه۪ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Allah kasýtsýz olarak yaptýðýnýz yeminlerden dolayý sizi sorumlu tutmaz, fakat bilerek yaptýðýnýz yeminlerden dolayý sorumlu tutar. Bunun kefâreti, ailenize yedirdiðinizin orta hallisiyle on fakiri bir gün sabah akþam doyurmak veya giydiðiniz orta hallisiyle onlarý giydirmek yahut bir köleyi hürriyetine kavuþturmaktýr. Buna gücü yetmeyen üç gün oruç tutmalýdýr. Ýþte yemin ettiðinizde onu bozmanýn kefâreti budur. Bununla birlikte, yeminlerinize baðlý kalýp gereðini yerine getirin. Þükredebilmeniz için Allah size âyetlerini iþte böyle açýklamaktadýr.

What's a Healthy Alternative to Water?

I can't stand the taste of water, so I don't drink enough of it. Is there an alternative I can have or anything that I can add to water to make it lose the taste of water without turning it into juice?

Getting enough fluids is the key to avoiding dehydration. Almost as important is making sure you don't drink too many calories with sugary beverages like soda, juice, and sports drinks.

Water is always the best way to hydrate and avoid empty calories, but if you think it's too blah and it's just not doing it for you, you can always spruce it up.

You have endless ways to make your very own concoction. Jazz up your water by adding some citrus — a slice or two of lemon or lime or a squeeze of orange can help make water more palatable. Give flavored seltzer a try; it's got the fizz of a soda without all the calories. Or make your own spritzer by adding a splash of juice to plain seltzer. If none of these tricks work, try some watered-down juice, using more water than juice. Don't give up on water just yet!
