- Islam
places great emphasis on cleanliness, both the physical
and spiritual aspects. As for the physical side, Islam
asks the Muslim to clean his body, clothes, house, and
the whole community, and he is rewarded by God for
doing that. Prophet Muhammad said:
-
- Removing any harm
from the street is charity (that will be rewarded by
Allah).
-
- Every Muslim is
required to make ablution before every prayer, up to five
times a day. It is an obligation to take a bath after
every occasion of sexual intercourse. Muslims are
instructed to wash their hands before and after each
meal. Moreover, prayers are not accepted unless the
clothes, and the site are clean.
-
- In short,
"Cleanliness is a sign of a true believer.
