The
Prophet peace be upon him has considered the purity half the faith and
we have to follow this virtuous prophetic manner, but what are the
benefits of purity? Let us read……
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said: (The purity is half the faith) [Narrated
by Muslim]. This holy Hadith lays stress upon the importance of the
body cleanliness and now we all know the importance of this for
protecting us from almost all the diseases. The purity of the body means
getting rid of most germs and dust that suspend on to it and this means
the protection from many diseases such as skin and mouth diseases. The
continual purity of the face and hands means reducing the number of
germs that enter through the mouth and nose and that means the
prevention of the respiratory and digestive diseases. Therefore the
Prophet peace be upon him considered the purity half the faith!
And
from the methods of the prophetic purity is that the Prophet peace be
upon him forbade urinating in water and it was discovered that humans
urine contains many germs that can be transmitted to another human being
through water and that the urine especiallyin stagnant water causes the spread of many epidemics such as cholera, typhoid and polio.
Among
the methods of purification is cleaning up well after urinating and a
great medical impact was proved to whom follow this good habit. The
fully removal of impurity protects the human from many reproductive
system diseases and many infections and suppuration.
The
faithful must have a bath at least once a week in order to clean the
surface of the skin from dirt, bacteria, germs, fungi and the remnants
of sweating and so on. And this helps in the protection from skin
diseases and improving the skin breath and maintenance of its pores.
And
also among the methods of prophetic purification is washing hands when
waking up to remove what is suspended on them during sleeping from
germs, fats and remnants of sweating. Hence, we can deduce the
importance of this Hadith as the Prophet peace be upon him says: (If one of you wakes up from his sleep, he shouldn't put his hand into a vessel until he washes it three times) [Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
