Ablution is the weapon of the faithful:
• • Ablution is not just cleaning the external organs several times a day
before prayers. The psychological and spiritual impact felt by the
Moslem after ablution is more deeper than words can express,
particularly when perfecting ablution. Ablution plays an important role
in the life of the Moslem, as it keeps him always in a state of vitality,
vigilance and fitness. The Prophet (PBUH) said; “He who performs
ablution, and perfects it, his sins would come out from his body, till
they pass out from under his nails.”
• • The process of washing the organs usually exposed to dust is no
doubt of a great significance to public health. These body parts are
exposed all day long to numerous numbers of microbes counted in
millions in every cubic centimeters of air. These microbes are in a
constant offensive state against the human body at the exposed areas of
skin. In ablution, microbes are taken by a surprise sweep from the
surface of the skin, specially with perfect massaging and enough
pouring of water, as guided by the Prophet (PBUH). Following such a
process, no dirt or germs are left on the body except what Allah decrees.
• • Rinsing the mouth. Modern science has proved that rinsing the
mouth protects the mouth and throat from inflammation and the gums
from suppuration (pyorrhea). It also protects and cleans teeth by
removing food remnants.
• • Sniffing the nose. Washing and sniffing the nose strongly helps
keep the nostril clean and free of inflammation and germs, thus
reflecting positively on the health status of the whole body.
• • Washing the face and the two hands. Washing the face and the two
hands up to the elbows is of a great benefit in removing dust and
microbes as well as sweat from the surface of the skin. This also cleans
the skin from the fatty substance secreted by skin glands, and which is
usually a very suitable place for the proliferation and sustenance of
germs.
• • Washing the two feet. Washing feet with massaging lead to a
feeling of quietness and complacency that engulfs the Moslem after
ablution.
