Purification in Islam

PURIFICATION IN ISLAM:
Question:

What is meant by making oneself pure?

Answer:

Purification in Islam is of four kinds:

1.        Purifying the soul from bad tendencies, such as jealousy, miserliness, anger, cowardliness and other base qualities.

2.        Purifying bodily parts from things which are incompatible with Islam, as for instance, purifying the eye from treacherous glances, purifying the tongue from idle talk and so on.

3.        Purifying the body and its various parts from things which are dirty, because Islam makes it obligatory to clean oneself thoroughly from urine, blood, stools and other impurities.  Also Islam commends purifying and cleansing anything which has become dirty or filthy and this does not only apply to the body but to everything with which the Muslim comes into contact in the way of clothes, tableware and cooking utensils, carpets and so on.

4.        Cleaning both the body and the soul together in one of the following three circumstances:-

     A. Performing ablutions after each hadath.allegiance to the Ahl al-Bayt and disassociation from their enemies.
