THE BLESSINGS OF MAKING ABLUTION

130

“When a Muslim makes his ablution and washes his face, the water carries away all the sins committed by his eyes. When he washes his hands, the water carries away all the sins committed by his hands and when he washes his feet the water carries away all the sins he had walked in to, so that he emerges cleansed of all his sins.”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

Allah, the Exalted says:

“Is it not time that the hearts of the believers

be humbled to the Remembrance of Allah

and the truth which He has sent down?

They should not be like those

who were given the Book before this,

whose time became very long

so that their hearts became hardened

Many of them were impious.” 57:16 Koran

“Following them We sent down

Our (other) Messengers,

And We sent following in their footsteps,

Jesus, the son of Mary

and gave him the Gospel,

and put tenderness

and mercy in the hearts of his followers.

As for the monasticism, they invented it,

thereby seeking the pleasure of Allah.

We did not write it for them,

and they did not observe it as it should be observed.” 57:27 Koran

“Do not be like the woman who breaks her thread,

after it is firmly spun into fibers,

by taking your oaths as mere mutual deceit,

one nation being more numerous than the other.....” 16:92 Koran

“Worship your Lord till

the certainty (death) overtakes you.” 15:99 Koran
