Abolution
by Unknown Author
God has decreed four steps for ablution, but the Muslims of today
have their own rules. They followed the rules of their Scholars
instead of the rules of God. The word Muslim means the one who
submits to God . Submitting to God should include doing His
Ablution not the ablution of the scholars. God's ablution is very
simple and easy as you can see in the verse that explains it.
(5:6) The purification of the ablution is the spiritual
purification not the physical part of the washing process. If
ablution was meant to clean the person physically, God would have
ordered us to take a bath before every one of the five prayers.
Ordering the dry ablution (Tayamum) (using the dust for the
purification), proves that God did not mean the ablution for the
purpose of physical cleaning as some claims. The physical
cleaning part of the ablution is a very secondary gain that
should not be considered the main goal of the washing.
Here is the ABLUTION as commanded by God HIMSELF . Those who
consider improving on God's commandments should remember that
they will stand defending their practice and blame it on someone
else on a day where there is no trade, no nepotism and no
intercession.
[5:6]
O you who believe, when you observe the Contact Prayers (Salat),
you shall: (1) wash your faces, (2) wash your arms to the elbows,
(3) wipe your heads, and (4) wash your feet to the ankles. If you
were unclean due to sexual orgasm, you shall bathe. If you are
ill, or traveling, or had any digestive excretion (urinary,
fecal, or gas), or had (sexual) contact with the women, and you
cannot find water, you shall observe the dry ablution (Tayammum)
by touching clean dry soil, then rubbing your faces and hands.
GOD does not wish to make the religion difficult for you; He
wishes to cleanse you and to perfect His blessing upon you, that
you may be appreciative.
What Nullifies Ablution
[4:43]
O you who believe, do not observe the Contact Prayers (Salat)
while intoxicated, so that you know what you are saying. Nor
after sexual orgasm without bathing, unless you are on the road,
traveling; if you are ill or traveling, or you had urinary or
fecal-related excretion (such as gas), or contacted the women
(sexually), and you cannot find water, you shall observe Tayammum
(dry ablution) by touching clean dry soil, then wiping your faces
and hands therewith. GOD is Pardoner, Forgiver.
