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
