Pillars of Islam


Health Benefits of Ablution (wudu) and sunnah method of ablution (wudu)

Health Benefits of Ablution (wudu) and Sunnah Way of ablution (wudu)



High Blood Pressure and Ablution (wudu)


A heart specialist assures that if a patient of hypertension is asked to perform Wudu and then his blood pressure is checked, his B.P. will be definitely lower.

The order of washing hands, then mouth-wash, then nose-wash and then washing of remaining organs reduces probability of paralysis.

In Wudu, the hands are washed first. Let us see benefits of this act. Hands touch/hold a lot of things and different chemicals and germs get stuck with hands. If hands are not washed whole of the day, hands may suffer skin infections e.g. pimples on hand, skin itching, eczema, change in skin colour etc. When we wash hands, rays emitting from fingers produce field which trigger our internal electromagnetic system, a part of which approaches our hands and causes beautification of the hands.


Benefits of Rinsing the Mouth


Rotting and blistering of mouth If the person is not in fasting, it in Sunnah to gargle the throat. One who gargles regularly will not suffer from tonsillitis and he will be saved from several types of throat infections including throat cancer.


Benefits of sniffing water into the Nose



The lungs need air, free from germs, smoke and dust, having about 80% humidity and a temperature slightly greater than 90°F. To provide this quality of air, Allah عزوجل has bestowed the bounty of nose. To humidify the air, nose produces about one-fourth gallon of moisture. Hairs inside the nose act as dust catchers. There is a microscopic scrubber that has invisible bristles. These is a microscopic scrubber that has invisible bristles. These bristles kill the germs coming with the air. In addition, these bristles also perform a protective feature called Lysozyme. With this, nose protects eyes from infection. الحمد ﷲ عزوجل, one who performs Wudu rinses his nose with water and thus this important organ (nose) get serviced. The electric properties of water fortify the ability of bristles and thus a virtue of Wudu. The rinsing of nose is very beneficial for the patients of persisting flu and having wounds in nose.


Benefits of washing the face


An English doctor wrote a paper on the topic “Eye, Water and Health.” In that paper he said giving stress, “Keep washing your eyes several times daily; otherwise you would face dangerous deseases.” Washing of face prevents or minimize mars on face. The expert beauticians have consensus on the fact that all types of creams and lotions leave spots on face. To make face beautiful, it is necessary to wash it several times. Beychar, a senior member of ‘American Council for Beauty’, reveals, “Muslims do not need any chemical lotion as their face is protected against deseases due to being washed during Wudu.” The experts of environmental protection say, “To prevent face allergy, wash it frequently.” الحمد ﷲ عزوجل! This is only possible during Wudu. الحمد ﷲ عزوجل by washing face during Wudu, the face is massaged, the blood circulation improves towards the face, dirt is removed and its beauty becomes two fold.

Protection from Blindness
Professor George Ail states, “When one washes the face, the germs present in the beard wash away. The roots of the hair become stronger when water wets them. On fingering (by the blessing of acting on Sunnah of Khilal in the beard) in the beard the risk of lice reduces. In addition, presence of wetness in the beard saves from diseases related to muscles of neck, thyroid glands and throat.


Benefits of Washing the Arms


 If water or air is not allowed to interact with elbows, several mental and neurological complications may arise. In Wudu, arms including elbows are washed and this act fortifies heart, liver and brain and ان شآء اﷲ عزوجل safety against these diseases is obtained. Moreover this washing links a person with the radiations stored in the chest and halo of radiations starts to flow and results in strengthening of the muscles of hands.
The Benefits of doing Mash (Moistening)

There is a major artery between head and the neck which links vertebral column, spinal cord cord and all body joints. When a person performs Mash of the neck during Wudu, the electric rediation emitting from hand enters the major artery and from there, transmits to all sections of neurological system via vertebral column and the neurological system is fortified.
Doctor of Insane People


   

Someone has stated, “I was doing my Wudu at a place in France; a person standing there was gazing at me. When I completed Wudu, he inquired me from where I belonged? I answered that I am a Muslim from Pakistan. He then asked me how many mental institutes are there in Pakistan. I was surprised to listen to this strange question; however I replied that there mught be two to four such institutes. He asked me what I was doing few minutes back. I replied that I was performing Wudu. He asked whether I do so daily. I replied that I do so five times daily. He amazed and said that he was a surgeon in a mental hospital and his hobby was to investigate the causes of mental desorders. According to his research, signals transmit from brain to the whole body so that organs may work. The brain floats in a fluid all the time. That is why it is not shaken if one funs. Had it been rigidly placed, it would have been damaged. Some feeble nerves emerging from braing acting as conductors spread into body via neck. If hairs are lengthy and the back of neck is kept dry, dryness may occur in these conductors and human brain may go out of order resulting in a mental upset. Hence he thought that moistening the neck back might be a remedy. Just now he saw me moistening the neck back and said that you people may not suffer mental upset. ” In addition, moistening also prevents sun stroke and neck fever.
Benefits of Washing the Feet

Feet undergo dirtiness at most. Infection first starts from the gap between fingers of foot. Washing feet during Wudu removes away dirt and germs. Remaining germs are removed when Khilal between fingers is done. Washing feet in Wudu according to Sunnah removes diseases like sleep shortness, dryness of brain, heart sinking and depression.
The Remaining Water of Wudu

There is cure in drinking the water left from Wudu. Regarding this, a Muslim doctor stated,

    The  first effect of this drink is upon the bladder, restrictions in urinary track are cleared and urine comes smoothly.
    One is freed from unlawful lust of sex.
    It removes warmth of liver, stomach and bladder.”
    It is narrated, “If one performs Wudu using water by a lota or some pot and if some water is left over, it is Mustahab to drink that water while standing and facing towards the Qiblah.”
    (Tabyin-ul-Haqa-aiq, V1, P44, Dar-ul-Kutub-ul-‘Ilmiyyah, Beirut)

Wudu of inner being


Hujja-tul-Islam Hadrat-e-Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رضی الله عنہ says, “When you turn your attention towards Salah after completing your Wudu, think to yourself, ‘I have cleaned the parts of my body that people can see, but to offer Salah without purifying the heart which is looked upon by Allah عزوجل is shameful.’ The purity of the heart is obtained by repentance, abandoning bad habits and by adopting good morals. A person who neglects the inner purity and only pays attention to the outer purity is like a person who invites a king to his house for a feast, and in order to please the king he cleans, polishes, and colours the outside of his house but leaves the interior dirty and full of garbage. This person is not worthy of praise and reward, rather he deserves anger of the king.”
(Ihya-ul-‘Ulum, Vol-1, P160, Dar-ul-Kutub-ul-‘Ilmiyyah, Beirut)









 A Pakistani physiotherapist who holds a diploma from Western Germany states that a seminar on the topic “What cures other than medicines are possible for depression” was held in Western Germany. One of the doctors revealed an amazing descovery in his speech by saying, “I get washed the face of patients of depression five times per day and after few days their disease reduced. Then I get washed face, hands and feet of a similar group of patients five times a day and they healed up to a great extent.” The same doctor accepts in the end of his speech that the problem of depression is short in Muslims as they wash face, hands and feet (i.e. during Wudu) several times daily.

why not to drink whilst standing - Benefits of Drinking Water Whilst Sitting


Benefits of Drinking Water Whilst Sitting:



I was always taught to drink water while sitting. My parents told me that it is a Sunnah and it is not safe to drink water while standing or walking. Our beloved Muhammad SAW, before 1400 years, said:

“If the person who drank whilst standing knew what was in his stomach, he would vomit it out.’
-No. 176/2175 – From Abu Huraira

Now after 1400 years, medical science has declared that drinking water while sitting is more safe and healthy for our body. Following are the disadvantages of drinking water whilst standing or walking:

GIT DAMAGE


When we drink water while standing, it flows directly down the gut and hits the lower end of the stomach wall. This damages the stomach wall and whole GIT. If it is practiced for a long time, our GIT becomes elastic leading to the dysfunction of the digestive tract.

KIDNEY DAMAGE


Medical science says that intake of water while standing decreases its filtration from the kidneys. It may lead to accumulation of unwanted materials in the kidneys, bladder or blood which increases the risk of many diseases associated with kidney and bladder.

ARTHRITIS


Studies show that drinking water whilst standing increases the risk of arthritis. Drinking water while standing disturbs the balance of other body fluids including the fluid in the joint spaces. It leads to the accumulation of excess joint fluid in the joint spaces. Clinically, this condition is characterized by joint pain, known as arthritis.

NERVE TENSION


While standing, the sympathetic system of our body is activated. It is also known as ‘fight and flight system’ of the body. This system constantly works to retain all the muscles and to maintain balance of the body. Where as while sitting, our body is relaxed which leads to the activation of the parasympathetic system, “rest and digest system” of the body. This system calms the nerves and prepares the digestive system for the incoming water or food.

Our Prophet Muhammad SAW said:


” None of you should stand and drink. If anyone did so forgetfully, then he should vomit  it”
-Sahih muslim – the book of drinks (Kitab-al-ashriba) (6202)

In conclusion the manner of drinking water is:

Sunnah Way of Drinking Water:

1     •Pray “Bismillah” and drink with your right hand as the devil drinks and eats with the left hand.
2     •To sit down and drink.
3     •Drink by taking three separate sips not all at once.
4     •Whilst drinking, suck the drink and do not make a noise.
5     •Do not blow into any drink for cooling.
6     •Say “Alhamdulilah” after drinking.
7     •It is not permissible to throw away any left over drink. Always cover the water that is left in a glass, jug or pot
