ABLUTION

Ablution (Ritual washing taken before prays):

We always make ablution before prays. To make ablution following acts are done:

1)      Both hands are washed three times up to wrists. The spaces between fingers are also washed.

2)      Mouth is gargled three times and the teeth are brushed with Miswak, toothbrush or rubbed with the index finger of right hand.

 3)      Nose is washed and cleaned from inside with small finger of left hand.

 4)      Face is washed three times from the upper edge of the forehead to the chin. If anyone has a beard, he has to wash it by combing with the wet finger of hands so that the skin is soaked.

 5)      Both hands are washed three times. First right hand from the wrist down to the elbow, keeping the hand upright and elbow downward, and wipe the hand with the left-hand palm from the wrist down to the elbow. Then the left hand is washed in the same way with the palm of right hand.

This is a very hygienic way and you may have seen that the surgeons wash their hand in this way before going to do an operation.

6)      Next we make Masah. We soak our hands and put the three fingers of both the hands on forehead and swipe backward on hairs to wet them and get forward but this time with palm of both sides of head, circling both index fingers inside of both the ears, rubbing back side of the ears with thumbs, then rub both sides of the neck with back side of palms from backward to forward.

European scientists have made research on this part of Ablution and concluded that   by doing so regularly the person in practice will never suffer any disease/fever relating to the neck.

7)      Then we wash our both feet. First right and then left. During the washing, the spaces between the fingers of feet are also washed with the help of small finger. European scientists have also researched that by washing the space between the finger of hands and feet blood pressure remain in control.
