Shadee Elmasry – Prophetic Hygiene & Grooming

Another question has to do with the hygiene. Right of Muslims we

actually every day what the smark of a civilized creature is that

we're, we have hygiene, right? And we have grooming, right? We groom?

And this actually the answer of why did Allah create certain

things and then tell us to remove them? Like if Allah wants us to

not have long nails, right? And why did He create nails to grow in

the first place? Right? All the reason is that to differentiate

between those who are clean and those who are not, right, so to

create a quality of cleanliness within you, the quality of

excellence and cleanliness within you could not exist unless you had

the capacity to become dirty. Alright, so what are some of our

saunas? Like taking it from the top, okay, from the top is a from

the hair. There is not a specific Sun is related to hair. However,

if a woman has braids, or if a man has braids, because if you look at

the Arabs in the past, they did have braids, right? Especially

going to war, they had braids, because there wasn't scissors as

readily available, all people had long hair. If you look at the old

movies, all these men from the ancient times had long beards and

long hair, you didn't have barbers everywhere. So for war, what do

they do? You put them in braids, that's actually a way to protect

your hair from being yanked and pulled by you put it in a braid,

okay, so it doesn't get caught up in someone's shielded helmet. But

even this braid during the whistle for men and women, they have to

loosen the braid so water gets into so what is actually become

prohibited from us to do or impossible for us to do is a type

of dreads where you clump the hair and you let it sort of rot inside

of itself. Right and keep it so no, there is no water goes into

it. This we're not able to do right braids you can do you need

to loosen up the hair a little bit so water can sit to it. This is

the ruling of braids of hosel when you make it also and you have

braids another thing Okay, another thing is that the men's mustache

should always be trimmed. Right privatize set him said the bene of

Surah Al they did not trim the mustache. So their women ended up

committing Zina because they were disgusted with the men whose

moustache went over his lip. So there should always be some skin

between the hair of the mustache and the pink of the lip. Right? So

that's the next thing. Now the mouth a lot of seminars related to

the mouth all the time Prophet peace be upon him, said number one

avoid eating garlic and onion raw before you come to the masjid or

meet with people because it's offensive to them. Okay, you

offend them. And the prophets I sent him said I don't eat it.

Because I speaks with Monica. He speaks with Angel Jibreel right?

So if you do eat it, kill it. He said prophesy centum said kill it.

How do you kill it by cooking it? Right you cook it, cook it up and

then the scent won't be as strong. Okay? Secondly, the prophets I

send them said Lola Ashok, Allah Almighty Amara Thomas sewak Couple

of coolie salah. If it was not to be hard, hard and burdensome upon

the OMA, I would have commanded them to use the miswak before

every prayer. Right? So the miss what is sewak The concept of swag

is something rough and hard that scratches against the teeth and

the gums and the tongue, the teeth, the gums and the tongue.

Right? You use your miswak on your tongue to clean it out. It's got

to be something struck the best of which is the

ODE of art rock, right the the roots or the branches of the Iraq

tree. And if you ever seen it, it has a very spicy flavor to it when

it's moist. You will wonder like what it is to stick to okay

cleans, but how does it remove the scent the odor. But when you look

at a moist freshly cut, Miss whack is stronger than toothpastes. And

it's more natural it doesn't leave that filmy flavor of toothpastes.

Right? It's a natural spicy flavor. It's almost like some

people, they can't use a freshly used miswak because it's too

spicy. It's almost like a gingery is like a spicy ginger flavor.

Right? It's very effective and cleaning out the mouth. I

understood when I saw one. All right and Yemen. freshly cut it's

still got some green in it moist. I understand now that all you need

is a miswak you don't need toothbrush and toothpaste. It

actually is stronger than toothpaste spicy. So but any

anything that cleans the mouth fulfills the function and the

Sunnah of a miswak. So that's the mouth. Now we talked about the

other hairs

Under the pubic hairs are

under the armpits getting ahead of myself here.

under the armpits, sunnah is actually to pluck these hairs out.

As painful as it sounds, why? Because you want a one shot deal

you don't want every once in a while, right to have hair grown

out there, the sooner is actually the pluck it out. Okay? You pluck

it out one by one, so that you never have armpit hairs and

therefore, as a result, you don't have that bad odor. You don't have

the risk. And people fulfill that sooner.

You know, Brut and Old Spice will be out of business, right? Zero,

we won't need to constantly be putting that stuff on. Right? In

any event. That's one of the Sooners, even if you shaved it,

and it's not fulfilling at 100% but it's doing the job, right?

Then pubic hairs shaved, every before every job. Or the some of

them said at least every 40 days, shaved pubic hairs, right there

was a surgeon once we on time, we had a teacher who's a surgeon,

alright, and used to give us a Holika he would say Trust me, the

Hara. Like you see people coming dressed to the nines. But then

they come in for surgery. We got to see their stuff, right? These

people have no concept of Bahara Alright, it's filthy. But we're

supposed to clean up that area. Remove the hairs from that area.

Think about this.

Yeah, and many seamen, sexual fluids. You don't want that on

you. If you have hairs down there, it's gonna all sneak up in there

and coagulate and, and mess everything up. Clean it all out

should be skin only. All right. So that's that next the nails every

Friday morning or Thursday night nail clipping. And we actually

have a son of nail clipping. You start with the shahada finger,

right? So with the shahada finger, then right hand then you go finish

that those hands then the next hands? Alright, then your last one

will be your right thumb. The Prophet even had a method to this

simple thing of nail clipping. All right, and he didn't throw his

clips in the garbage. Right? He says, because these these things

will will make shahada for you they'll testify for you that you a

that you did such and such good deeds and that you clip them in

the right way. They'll make sure how to for you so your hair and

your nail clippings the prophets I sent him he used to bury them use

actually bury them that's actually the sunnah to bury them. Okay, so

it's as soon as you throw in the garbage, you know, I like

committing a sin. But yeah, that's a son. Right? It's a clip the

nails, bury the hair, bury the nail clippings. Alright, same

thing with the feet, feet clippings, nail clippings. And the

sooner then is to wash those areas. Wash under the nails, and

under and your toes after you clip them. So we're OMA that's all

about grooming. Right? We're people who believe in grooming,

and that's what separates people. That's what separates a civilized

from the uncivilized one of the signs of where's the Halacha of

Allah? Where's the civilization of the earth? Or the Haggadah of the

right? What Timken I am, who that will have been an S, Allah says in

Emraan, the days of wealth and glory and civilization. We spread

it around. It's not going to always be with one group of

people. All right, one of the signs is cleanliness, hygiene, and

cleanliness. And subhanAllah. Oma OMA of Islam has toe hade but

honestly doesn't have hygiene and cleanliness. Now we need to talk

about something else. Right? You go to the bathroom. There are

truck roll load of rules that we should follow when we go to the

bathroom. All right. Firstly, the bathroom should always be done

sitting. So don't splash, right done sitting. Secondly, you clean

we're taught Sivan Allah and the books of fifth how to wash

ourselves with dry

right? It's called St Jamar because they used to use a genre

which is a rock they didn't have tissue they use use rocks. Right?

So it's called institchu mud with something dry. Then it's in jet

something wet water wet wetness over that area that had an agenda.

Then you can dry it off again or leave it and almond ricotta he was

a man used to complain that he would go to the bathroom and then

he would do is to Jamar he would urinate them to his to Gemma then

he would say amen I always have a check as to whether bowl is coming

out of me again, almost that I'll solve your problem with you for

water on your member. After you go to the bathroom. Then when you get

up you will know you will you watch yourself you won't have

doubt that is both also the wisdom of SDJ is danger is the muscles

contracts. If it's cooler water, the muscles contract and so the

bowl won't come out as easily if at all right? So when we leave the

bathroom we have to understand

and that the bacteria and the wetness bacteria grows on wetness

when we do is stingy it should not be for the host of the OMA to know

that we don't stingy okay.

It should be done for ourselves and then we should leave the

toilet area dry because the Jassa grows or the bacteria will grow or

whatever it is, that is not good will grow in wetness. It will not

grow in dryness, okay, if things dry is not going to grow.

Secondly, if you leave a little puddle of water, okay, and one

drop of majestic goes there. And the whole thing isn't that just

now we're all in trouble and people then walk in with their

feet in the bathroom and then wearing those flip flops and then

coming out and then and then you're making sense to on the rug.

Right? So all that majestic could be all over up in the rug. Right?

So you're not going to make sure you dry everything out right

before you leave the bathroom. That's a little tidbit about the

hunter and grooming in our Cydia in our deen. We'll focus on a low
