Cleanliness is half of faith and cleanliness is next to godliness. Without even realising, we may be committing unhygienic acts that render us undeserving of Allah’s love, for He says:
اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِیۡنَ وَ یُحِبُّ الۡمُتَطَہِّرِیۡنَ
“Allah loves those who turn to Him and loves those who keep themselves clean.” (Surah al-Baqarah, Ch.2: V.223)
Amongst other habits, correcting our bathroom hygiene is essential in order to follow the Prophet Muhammad’s
(sa)
sunnah [practice] and attain Allah’s love.
Some may contend by saying, “Physical hygiene is hardly a significant issue when it comes to Allah. It has no effect on my spirituality.” How dreadfully wrong such people are.
