The Quran<\/h2>\n

\u201cO you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of Janaabah (major impurity), then purify yourselves.\u201d [Qur’an; 5:6]<\/p>\n

\u201cNone touch it(the Quran) except the purified.\u201d [Qur’an; 79:56]<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences \u2013 (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil).\u201d [Qur’an; 53:32]<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honourable.\u201d [Qur’an; 24:26]<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has certainly succeeded who purifies himself.\u201d [Qur’an; 87:14]<\/p>\n

\u201cBut only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.\u201d [Qur’an; 26:89]<\/p>\n

\u201cNone touch it except the purified\u201d [Qur’an; 56:79]<\/p>\n

Hadith<\/h2>\n

Abu Malik at-Ash\u2019ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fill upwhat is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one\u2019s faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur\u2019an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves. [Sahih Muslim<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Abu Sufyan said: \u201cAbu Ayyub Al-Ansari, Jabir bin \u2018Abdullah, and Anas bin Malik told me that when this Verse: \u201cIn it (the mosque) are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allah loves those who make themselves clean and pure.\u201d was revealed, the Messenger of Allah said: \u2018O Ansar! Allah has praised you for your cleanliness. What is the nature of your cleanliness?\u2019 They said: \u2018We perform ablution for prayer and we take bath to cleanse ourselves of impurity due to sexual activity, and we clean ourselves with water (after urinating). He said: \u2018This is what it is. So adhere to it.’\u201d [Ibn Majah<\/a>]<\/p>\n
