The findings of the study therefore, shows that, food availability, food stability, food accessibility, and food utilization which are the proxy to food security are significantly affected by water resources. The study recommends that water resources should be utilized in an Islamic economy in order to ensure food availability thereby resulting to food stability, food accessibility as well as food utilization and that government of an Islamic economy should make a provision for storing rainfall so as to improve and support irrigation farming to ensure food security.
