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.

    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.
