Ablution (wuzu) .. Its Benefits

(Anjan Bilal, Srinagar (J&K) )

Allah Subhana’wa’ta’ala said to Hazrat-e-sayyidena Musa(A.S), “O Musa! If you face a Two Hadith summarised tell us that anyone who begins ablution (Wuzu) saying Bismillah purifies his whole body from head to toe, but any one who does not say these words will only purify the limbs that are washed (Sunan Das Qulni V1, P158-159, Hadith 228-229)

A Hadith states, “A person who sleeps in a state of ablution is similar to some one who worships in a state of fasting” (Kanzul-Amaal, V9 P123, Hadith 25994)

Aaqa Kareem Sallallahu Alaiyhi Wasallam said to Hazrat-e-Sayyidenna Anas r.a, “Son! If you can spend all your time in a state of wuzu then do so, because when the Angel of death captures the soul of a person in a state of Wuzu, he is written down as a martyr” (Kangal-Ummal, V9, Hadith 26060)

One Hadith mentions, “If a person does Wuzu correctly and then looks towards the the sky and reads Kalima-e-Shahadat, all eight (8) doors of Heaven are opened for him and he may enter through whichever one of them he pleases.” (Sahih Muslim, V1, P122)

Scientifically Benefits of Ablution:-
A Muslim invited a university student in Belgium towards Islam and to his surprise, the student asked about the scientific benefits of Wuzu. The Muslim became speechless, So he took the student to a scholar but the scholar could not tell him either. Eventually, a person told this student many benefits of wuzu but could not tell him the benefits of wiping the neck so the student left. A few days later, the student came and said “During a lecture, my professor said that if you wipe the back of your neck on both sides with a few drops of water, you will be saved from spinal illness. Upon hearing this I fully understood the virtue and benefits of wiping the neck in wuzu and therefore, I want to accept Islam”. And he became a Muslim.

A psychiatrist attend a seminar in Germany and surprised the audience by saying that he was treating his patients by making them wash their face 5 times a day and with in a short period of time the treatment started to have an effect. He then treated another group of patients by making them wash their hands, feet, and face 5 times a day and they also started a recover from their illness. At the end of the speech the doctor said, “I confess that fewer Muslims suffer from depression as they wash their hands, face, and feet many times in a day by performing WUZU.”

Blood Pressure:-
A heart specialist says with importance that those who have high blood pressure should be advised to perform Wuzu. A Muslim doctor says, “The best cure for depression is Wuzu.” Western doctors treat their patients by placing water on some parts of their body, which is just like wuzu.

Benefits of Washing Hands:-
In Wuzu, the hands are washed first and there are many benefits. People hold many things in their hands causing bacteria to spread and grow on the skin. If the hands are not washed during the day, there is a possibility of getting many types of skin diseases:-
Heat spots
Itchy skin
Eczema
Bad skin
Change in the skin colour etc.

When we wash our hands, water falls from the tips of our fingers and create a circle around our hand and due to this, our inner electrics come into motion, which makes our hands more beautiful.

Washing the Mouth:-
By washing the mouth and using a Miswaak, the bacteria will be removed. If the mouth is not cleaned, one can be affected from the following illnesses:-

One of the first sign of aids is the swelling of the mouth
Edges of the mouth splitting
Moniliasis of the mouth and lips,
Mouth becomes sore etc.

If the person is not fasting, It is sunnah to gargle. The one who gargles water will not get tonsillitis and he will be saved from many throat diseases including throat cancer.

Washing the nose:-
The lungs need air free from pollution and it should contain 80% moisture and should be more than 90 degree Fahrenheit. To attain this type of air, Allah Subhana’wa’ta’ala has blessed us with a nose. It makes the air moist, the nose creates a quarter of a gallon of moisture and the hair in the nostrils stops dirt going inside the lungs. There is a microscopic brush in the nose. This brush contains small particles which kill the bacteria that travel through the air and enter the nose.

Due to these a Muslim is saved from many diseases of the nose.

Washing the face:-
Nowadays the pollution in the atmosphere is increasing. Many chemicals and dirt fly into the eyes and on the face. If the face and the eyes are not washed, they are at risk of becoming infected; An European doctor wrote a thesis called ‘Eye, water and Health’. In this thesis he encouraged people to wash their eyes many times a day, otherwise you risk catching many dangerous diseases. A member of the American council for beauty, ‘Beychar’ has stated a very interesting fact. She states, “Muslims do not need any type of chemical lotions as they wash their face many times a day during Wuzu which safe guards them from many diseases. Experts say, “The face should be washed over and over again to save it from allergies”. The blood circulates around the face and the dirt is removed from the face and it becomes more beautiful.

Blindness
Physicians have researched that if one makes his/her eyebrows wet frequently then one can be protected from dangerous disease like blindness.

Washing the Arms:-
There are three major veins in the elbow that are connected to the heart, liver and the brain. The elbow usually stays covered with clothing and if water and air does not reach these pasts, one may suffer from mental problems. Also, by washing the arms including the hands, a link is created in between the person and the particles of light and the particles begin to flow. This action makes all the body parts strong.

Wiping the Head:-
There is a major vein in the body that lies between the back of the head and neck. This vein has a connection with the spinal cord, the brain and the small veins spread in the body, when one wipes the back of his neck, passes through the Spinal cord, spread into the small veins and give strength to the various parts of the body. Also wiping the neck prevents one from fever and mental illness.

Washing the Feet:-
A lot of dust gathers around the feet and infections usually start between the toes. By washing the feet during wuzu, bacteria and dust from the feet will be cleaned and the bacteria that are left are removed by wiping your fingers through your toes. Therefore, by washing your feet according to sunnah, you save yourself from lack of sleep, dryness of the brain, nervousness and depression.

Sunnah Don’t Need Scientific Research:-
The sunnah of Our beloved prophet Sall allahu Alaiyhi Wasallam does not need scientific research to be proven and our mission is not to follow science. Our mission is to follow the sunnah and let me clear that when the European experts finish their investigation after so much research, they will end up with the sunnah of Our Beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaiyhe Wasallam.
Peace will only be found in the remembrance of Allah Subhana’wa’ta’ala. your heart will only find peace in the love of My Beloved prophet sallallahu Alaiyhi Wasallam.


At the end I pray “Oh Allah Subhana’wa’ta’ala! Make me amongst those who repent abundantly and make me amongst those who stay clean (Jami ‘Tirmizi, V1, P9) AMEEN. (Pray it with Durood before and after)
