    • @dawnwriter, Indeed you wrote a great and useful article. I am amazed to see this article as it contains a lot of information about ablution. Rinsing our mouth 5 times a day simply means that we do not need to consult any dentist.

    • This is why it is so interesting to read others' post because you are being educated and learned of other peoples' culture, belief and traditions. Just like now, I know now what is ablution. The cleansing regimen of Muslim. In Catholic, there is also the washing of feet but not the entire body and face.

    • Wow this is unbelievable to know just how much muslims take to clean up. The amount of time that they take to clean up is amazing if we were all this dedicated on religion I think this world would be a beautiful place to be. We are always told to clean ourselves up wash our hands thoroughly before eating. Yet there are people who are doing this religiously every single day I must applaud our Muslim brothers and sisters. You have put it out so well for each place that we clean there you have mentioned him benefits of washing this is a good challenge for all of us.

    • Ablution is one of the most important activity before every sacred work. Before saying Namaz every Muslims get ablution so that he or she get complete cleanliness. It is told by God through the Holy Prophet in all nations on earth.

      The Main Function of Ablution (Wazu)

      Every body on earth must know that the man who keeps link with God remains save and enjoys God countless blessings on earth and will enjoy in Heaven. When we intent to clean her self or himself it links man;s soul to God and thus man feels pleasure spiritually and feels freshness in his whole body organs.

      When we make sins our link with breaks anon and God does not listen to our cries is a solid fact read the Holy Quran or the Holy Bible. Bit people consider the holy books just fiction and the tales of days gone bye.

      Every holy soul anon links her being to God's being sitting on earth and if any prays to God the prayer is answered anon and its result the prayer maker eels on earth.

      Therefore we must remain holy 24 hours because we all are born to die not to live longer here. Our forefathers have gone and their forefathers have gone and their forefathers have gone....

      None remains here for ever but immortal is the name of God and other all are mortal.
