CLEANLINESS

Islam has greatly stressed the cleanliness and purity of body, dress and place. Because prayer of any kind cannot be accomplished unless our body is clean. Our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Cleanliness is the half faith.” He said on another occasion, “The essence of Islam is based on cleanliness and purity.” The Holy Quran said, “And keep your clothes clean and keep away from the filthiness.” On another occasion, it is said, “No doubt, Allah like those who remain pure and clean.”

Cleanliness is the fundamental key to the healthy body as Health is wealth and it is only possible through cleanliness. Cleanliness of body protects us from many diseases. We should make sure about the cleanliness of our dress and body. We should also take care of the hygiene of our food. We should always ensure the sanitation of our house. If we adopt the principles of cleanliness, we can be healthy and have round the clock. It will also lead us to strengthen our belief.
