The Arabic word for purity and

cleanliness is Taharah.

Taharah is one of the most impor-

tant duties for a Muslim.

Taharah means cleanliness of the :

1) mind and soul

2) body and clothes

3) home and surroundings

We keep our minds and souls clean

by not having evil thoughts nor

doing evil deeds.

We keep our bodies and clothes

clean by washing them regularly.

We keep our homes and surround-

ings clean by being tidy and hygien-

ic, and not littering or polluting.

If a Muslim is not Tahir, pure and

clean, then he cannot perform

Salah or touch the Holy Qur’an.

Therefore a Muslim always stays

clean.
