Removing najasah
Najasah is physical impurity — like urine or blood — on the body, clothes or prayer place. It is removed by washing with water until its trace is gone.
The beloved siwak
The Prophet ﷺ loved the siwak (tooth-stick) and said that were it not a hardship, he would have ordered it before every prayer. Clean teeth and fresh breath honour the prayer.
Cleanliness everywhere
Islam teaches trimming the nails, caring for the hair, wearing clean clothes, and keeping homes and streets clean — removing harm from the path is charity.
