WARAHMATULLAHI WABARAKATUH
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the
World, the Master and the Creator of everything in the Universe, the Destroyer
of all oppressors and the Hope of the oppressed, for enabling us to meet
together in the simple but peaceful place.
Peace and salutation be upon to the noble
Prophet of Islam, Muhammad S.A.W. and his household, his companions and his
faithful followers who strive in Allah’ s religion of Islam.
I express my gratitude from the bottom of my deepest hearth
to the master of ceremony for giving me valuable chance so that I can speak in
front of you all. I take this great opportunity to deliver a speech under the
title “Ablution and health purity”

Ablution is
the weapon of the faithful person. We usually call it wudhu.
Allah says in Surah Al-Maidah point
6 :
[ يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا قمتم إلى
الصلاة فاغسلوا وجوهكم وأيديكم إلى المرافق وامسحوا بر ؤ وسكم وأرجلكم إلى الكعبين، وإن
كنتم جنبا فاطهروا] (المائدة 6).
The Meaning is “O believers,
when you stand up to pray, wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows,
and wipe your heads, and your feet up to the ankles. If
you are defiled, purify yourselves…” (5:6)
Ablution
is not just cleaning the external organs several times a day before prayers. The
psychological and spiritual impact felt by the Moslem after ablution is more
deeper than words can express, particularly when perfecting ablution.
Ablution
plays an important role in the life of the Moslem, as it keeps him always in a
state of vitality, vigilance and fitness. The Prophet
Muhammad SAW said; “He who performs ablution, and perfects it,
his sins would come out from his body, till they pass out from under his
nails.”
The process of washing the organs usually exposed to dust is no doubt of a great significance
to public health. These body parts are exposed all day long to
numerous numbers of microbes counted in millions in every cubic centimeters of
air. These microbes are in a constant offensive state against
the human body at the exposed areas of skin.
In
ablution, microbes are taken by a surprise sweep from the surface of the skin,
specially with perfect massaging and enough pouring of water, as guided by the
Prophet (SAW) . Following such a process, no dirt or
germs are left on the body except what Allah decrees.
1.
Rinsing the
mouth. Modern science has proved that rinsing the mouth
protects the mouth and throat from inflammation and the gums from suppuration
(pyorrhea). It also protects and cleans teeth by removing food
remnants.
2.
Sniffing the nose. Washing and
sniffing the nose strongly helps keep the nostril clean and free of
inflammation and germs, thus reflecting positively on the health status of the
whole body.
3.
Washing the face and the two
hands. Washing the face and the two hands up to the elbows is
of a great benefit in removing dust and microbes as well as sweat from the
surface of the skin. This also cleans the skin from the fatty
substance secreted by skin glands, and which is usually a very suitable place
for the proliferation and sustenance of germs.
4.
Washing the two
feet. Washing feet with massaging lead to a feeling of
quietness and complacency that engulfs the Moslem after ablution.
5.
Other
secrets. Scientific research has proved that blood circulation
in upper limbs from the hands to the forearms, and in the lower limbs from the
feet to the legs is weaker than it is in other organs, being peripheral to the
centre of regulating blood circulation, namely, the
heart. So washing these limbs with massaging at every
ablution help strengthen the blood circulation in these parts , thus
increasing the vitality and activity of the body.
Science has proved the effect of sun
rays, particularly the ultra violet ones, in causing skin carcinoma. This effect decreases very well
with the consequence of ablution, as it constantly dampens the surface of
the skin with water, particularly the parts exposed to such
rays. This helps protect the surface and internal layer cells
of the skin from the harmful impact of rays.
Ladies and Gentleman
In addition, the Quran has many
miraculous attributes proving that it is a revelation from God. One of
these attributes is ablution
is not just a path
to holiness, but also beneficial
to the body.
Of course the Quran is not a book
of science. However, many scientific facts that are expressed in an
extremely concise and profound manner in its verses have only been discovered
with the technology of the 20th century. These facts could not have been known
at the time of the Quran's revelation, and this is proof that the Quran is the
word of God.
In
fact, miracle of
alQuran in science is not just
about ablution, but
there are many more. examples of human creation,
the benefits of honey, and others,
but it will be a very long speech if we talk about that.
The Quran cannot be produced by any
creature. It is the word of the
Almighty God, the Originator of everything and the One Who encompasses
everything with His knowledge. As
how could any creature reveal such scientific facts and signs, as indicated
above in some Quranic verses, that were impossible to be known with the level
of knowledge at the time of revelation? The
Quran, with the description of all these scientific facts in accurate terms
that fit with the modern rules of science, affirms that this is revealed by
Allah.
Man only unfolded these signs so
many centuries after it had been revealed by Allah, with the help of modern
technology. The Quran is the word
of Allah Who has created everything and knows the slightest details of His
creation.
Although they possessed and knew
the tools of the Arabic language, the unbelievers of Makkah were challenged to produce one verse of
such Quran. Yet, up to date and
till doomsday the challenge still stands.
"قل لئن
إجتمعت الأنسُ والجنُ على أن يأتوا بمثلِ هذا القرآن ، لا يأتونَ بمثلهِ ولو كان
بعضُهم لبعضٍ ظهيرا." ( الإسراء : 88
“If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together
to produce the like of this Quran, they would never produce its like, not
though they backed one another.” (17:88)
I thinks that all my speech.
