Muslims enjoy the highest standard of personal hygiene of all the people in the world. In Islam, cleanliness and purification are not only requirements for the performance of worship, or when embracing Islam, but are part of a Muslim's very faith. Allah says in the Qur'an: "... Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts, bodies, for their prayers etc.)." (Al-Baqarah 2:222)

Cleanliness in Islam is of three kinds:

1- Purification from impurity (i.e. to attain purity or cleanliness, by taking a bath or performing ablution wudu ' in states in which a bath or ablution is necessary or desirable according to Islamic Law.

2- Cleansing one's body, dress or place from an impurity of filth.

3- Removing the dirt or grime that collects in various parts of the body, such as cleaning the teeth and nostrils, the trimming of nails and the removal of armpit and pubic hair.
Ghusl:
This is when all parts of the body are thoroughly washed. Ghusl is required of every Muslim after sexual intercourse, after wet dreams, after child-birth, and after post-partum bleeding, and each month after menstruation and final yellowish discharge has stopped.

Also ghusl is recommended in the following circumstances:

- When attending any gathering of people as stated by some jurists. This also includes doing ghusl before the eclipse Prayer, Prayers for rain ( istisqa'), standing in ` Arafah, doing ghusl in al-Mash`ar al-Haram, before stoning the Jamarat on the days of tashreeq, and other places where people gather to do acts of worship or gather according to their customs.

-When undergoing any physical change. For example, the fuqaha' stated that it is mustahab for the one who went insane or fell unconscious to do ghusl when he recovers, and to do ghusl after cupping and so on, because the ghusl will remove anything that has gotten onto the body and will restore it to a natural state.

-For some acts of worship, such as doing ghusl when entering .
Wudu':
This simple ablution is necessary before prayer in the following cases:

1- after urinating or defecating;

2- if one passes wind;

3- if one falls asleep lying down;

4- if one loses consciousness;

5- if one directly touches the genitals;

6- if one becomes excited, leading to a subsequent discharge.

The above cases also nullify one's ablution, requiring a fresh one. Allah says in the Qur'an, " O you who believe! When you intend to offer prayer, wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles. If you are in a state of Janaba, purify yourself (bathe your whole body)...." (Al-Ma'idah 5:6)

Also on this issue, Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) quoted Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying, " The prayer of a person who does hadath (passes, urine, stool or wind) is not accepted until he performs (repeats) the ablution." A person from Hadaramout asked Abu Hurairah, "What is 'hadath'?" Abu Hurairah replied, " 'Hadath' means the passing of wind from the anus." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
Merits of ablution:
Part of the merits of ablution is that it earns Muslims a special name by which they will be called on the Day of Judgment; the name is Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun (People of shinning bodily parts), due to performing ablution in proper way. Nu'aim Al-Mujmir reported: "Once I went up the roof of the mosque along with Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). He performed ablution and said, 'I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun from the traces of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so (by performing ablution in the most perfect manner.'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
Tayamum (Dry Ablution):
This is performed by putting or striking lightly the hands over clean earth and then passing the palm of each on the back of the other, then blowing off the dust then passing them on the face. It is performed instead of wudu and ghusl (in case of ritual impurity, etc.). Allah says in the Qur'an: "... But if you are ill or on a journey or any of you comes from answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (i.e., sexual intercourse) and you find no water, then perform tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allah does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His Favor on you that you may be thankful." (Al-Ma'idah 5:6).

To illustrate the importance of Muslims maintaining their high level of personal hygiene, the following points are specifically mentioned by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding answering the call of nature:

`A'ishah, the Mother of the Faithful (may Allah be pleased with her): "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used his right hand for getting water for ablution and taking food, and his left hand for his evacuation and for anything repugnant." (Sunan Abu Dawud)

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Be on your guard against two things which provoke cursing.' They (the Companions present there) said: 'Messenger of Allah, what are those things that provoke cursing?' He said: 'Easing on the thoroughfares or under the shades (where people take shelter and rest).'" (Reported by Muslim)

Furthermore, a Muslim is also required to beautify himself, especially when meeting people as long as he does not exceed the limits of Allah. Allah says: " O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship " (7:31)

Dear scholar(s),as-salam-alaikumWhat importance does Islam hold for cleaniness and Hygiene of human body? In India, i see a number of Muslims who do not take bath on daily basis and wear same clothes for days. Its only the day of Friday, when they take bath and wear clean clothes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Islam places great emphasis on cleanliness, in both its physical and spiritual aspects. On the physical side, Islam requires the Muslim to clean his body, his clothes, his house, and the whole community, and he is rewarded by God for doing so. Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, for example:

"Removing any harm from the road is charity (that will be rewarded by Allah)." [Bukhari]

While people generally consider cleanliness a desirable attribute, Islam insists on it , making it an indispensable fundamental of the faith. A Muslim is required to be pure morally and spiritually as well as physically. Through the Qur'an and Sunnah Islam requires the sincere believer to sanitize and purify his entire way of life.

In the Qur'an Allah commends those who are accustomed to cleanliness:

"Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean." [2: 22]

In Islam the Arabic term for purity is Taharah. Books of Islamic jurisprudence often contain an entire chapter with Taharah as a heading.

Allah orders the believer to be tidy in appearance:

"Keep your clothes clean." [74:4]

The Qur'an insists that the believer maintain a constant state of purity:

"Believers! When you prepare for prayer wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; rub your heads (with water) and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. If you are ritually impure bathe your whole body." [5: 6]

Ritual impurity refers to that resulting from sexual release, menstruation and the first forty days after childbirth. Muslims also use water after eliminating body wastes.

Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) advised the Muslims to appear neat and tidy in private and in public. Once when returning home from battle he advised his army:

"You are soon going to meet your brothers, so tidy your saddles and clothes. Be distinguished in the eyes of the people." [Abu Dawud]

On another occasion he said:

"Don't ever come with your hair and beard disheveled like a devil." [Al-Tirmidhi]

And on another:

"Had I not been afraid of overburdening my community, I would have ordered them to brush their teeth for every prayer." [Bukhari]

Moral hygiene was not ignored, either, for the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) encouraged the Muslims to make a special prayer upon seeing themselves in the mirror:

"Allah, You have endowed me with a good form; likewise bless me with an immaculate character and forbid my face from touching the Hellfire." [Ahmad]

And modesty in dress, for men as well as for women, assists one in maintaining purity of thought.

Being charitable is a way of purifying one's wealth. A Muslim who does not give charity (Sadaqah) and pay the required annual Zakah, the 2.5% alms-tax, has in effect contaminated his wealth by hoarding that which rightfully belongs to others:

"Of their wealth take alms so that you may purify and sanctify them." [9: 103]

All the laws and injunctions given by Allah and His Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) are pure; on the other hand, man-made laws suffer from the impurities of human bias and other imperfections. Thus any formal law can only be truly just when it is purified by divine guidance - as elucidated by the Qur'an and the Sunnah - or if it is divinely ordained to begin with - the Shari'ah.

There is nothing wrong with being self-critical. In fact, it is desirable to self-criticize.

Let us make sure that our house, street, neighborhood, surrounding... etc are clean and hygienic.

Brain health and physical health are both important, especially as we age. A recent CDC study found that people with one or more chronic health conditions were more likely to report worsening or more frequent memory problems, also called subjective cognitive decline (SCD).

Chronic health conditions included in the report were diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and kidney disease. SCD was most common among adults with COPD or heart disease, or who had had a stroke.

Worsening or more frequent confusion or memory loss, combined with chronic health conditions, can make it especially hard to live independently and do everyday activities like cooking, cleaning, managing health conditions and medicines, and keeping medical appointments. This may lead to worse health, and preventable hospitalizations or more severe memory loss or confusion. In some cases, SCD may put people at greater risk for Alzheimer's disease.

What Can People With Memory Loss and Chronic Health Conditions Do?

It's important to talk to your healthcare provider. Researchers found that only half of adults with SCD and a chronic condition had discussed their memory loss with a health care professional. Early diagnosis of memory loss is especially important for people with chronic health conditions. Getting checked by your healthcare provider can help determine if the symptoms you are experiencing are related to dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, or a more treatable condition such as a vitamin deficiency or medication side effects. Early diagnosis also provides an opportunity to participate in clinical trials, and more time to plan for the future.

8 Ways to Help Improve Your Brain Health

There is growing scientific evidence that healthy behaviors, which have been shown to prevent cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, also may reduce risk for SCD. Here are eight steps you can take for a healthy body and healthier brain.

1. Quit Smoking-Quitting smoking now improves your health and reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, lung disease, and other smoking-related illnesses. Free quitline: 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).

2. Prevent and Manage High Blood Pressure-Tens of millions of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, and many do not have it under control. Learn the facts.

3. Prevent and Manage High Cholesterol-Nearly 1 in 3 American adults has high cholesterol. Learn how to manage your cholesterol levels and lower your risk.

4. Maintain a Healthy Weight-Healthy weight isn't about short-term dietary changes. Instead, it's about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating and regular physical activity.

5. Get Enough Sleep-A third of American adults report that they usually get less sleep than the recommended amount.

6. Stay Engaged-There are many ways for older adults to get involved in their local community. Here are some activities to consider.

7. Manage Blood Sugar-Learn how to manage your blood sugar if you have diabetes.

8. If You Drink, Do So in Moderation-Learn about alcohol use and your health.

There is a strong relationship between the health of your mind, or what you learn, and your physical health. A 2015-2017 CDC study found that people with worsening chronic physical healthcare conditions also often have a worsening memory, and other mental issues. Making changes to things that impact your physical health often also improve your mental well-being, such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing blood sugar.

These links have been stipulated by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Islam in general. One Hadith showing this is; “There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He has already created its treatment.” This prompts Muslims should seek treatment and health in both physical and mental aspects.

Hygiene is not just a habit and a essential but also a moral standard in Islam, this was true for the prophet(PBUH). He always brushed his teeth with the Miswaak, a wooden tooth brush that was effective to keep ones teeth white.

Even while fighting the enemies of Islam the prophet encouraged his community to stay clean saying

“Had I not been afraid of overburdening my community, I would have ordered them to brush their teeth for every prayer.” [Bukhari]

Moral hygiene was not ignored, either, for the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) encouraged the Muslims to make a special prayer upon seeing themselves in the mirror

The relationship between physical health and knowledge acquisition. 

# data[].attributes.body
The relation between physical health and knowledge acquisition is multifaceted. Several hadiths (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) emphasize the importance of maintaining good physical health in order to acquire knowledge effectively. Here are a few examples that support this notion:

1. Hadith on taking care of one's body: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, "Take advantage of five matters before five other matters: your youth before you become old; your health before you fall sick; your wealth before you become poor; your free time before you become busy; and your life before your death." (Narrated by Ibn Abbas, Sahih Al-Jami)

This hadith highlights the significance of good health in utilizing one's time effectively for acquiring knowledge. When a person is physically healthy, they are more likely to have the energy, mental clarity, and concentration necessary for learning and acquiring knowledge.

2. Hadith on seeking knowledge: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave." (Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi)

This hadith encourages lifelong learning and implies that knowledge acquisition is a continuous process. However, in order to sustain this pursuit, one must maintain good physical health. A healthy body supports an active and agile mind, enabling individuals to engage in the process of seeking knowledge throughout their lives.

Overall, these teachings highlight the complementary relationship between physical health and knowledge acquisition. Good physical health enables individuals to make the most of their time, sustain their learning efforts, and overcome physical obstacles that may impede their intellectual pursuits. By taking care of their bodies, individuals can optimize their ability to seek knowledge and engage in lifelong learning.

Seerah: Physical activities: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) engaged in various physical activities throughout his life. He participated in physical labor, such as farming and construction, demonstrating his strength and endurance. He also engaged in horse riding, swimming, archery, and wrestling, which indicates his interest in physical activities and sports.

1. Walking and physical movement: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) often preferred walking over riding. He encouraged his companions to engage in physical movement and walking as a means of exercise and transportation. Walking is a simple yet effective way to maintain physical fitness and overall health.

2. Modest eating habits: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) encouraged moderation in eating and advised against overindulgence. He emphasized the importance of eating in moderation and maintaining a balanced diet, which contributes to overall physical well-being.

3. Physical strength and resilience: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) displayed physical strength and resilience in various situations. For example, during battles and expeditions, he actively participated and demonstrated bravery and physical endurance. These incidents highlight the importance of physical strength and resilience in the context of self-defense and protecting the community.
