First: the health benefits of prayer Prayer, the worship of God (swt), is one of the five main pillars on which Islam is based. It is the most common ritual oriented towards achieving closeness to Allah (swt) and constitutes a major indicator of being a true Muslim. He uses prayer as a means of seeking solace, forgiveness and peace through supplication for the help of God (swt). It serves as food for the soul. However, the benefits of prayer do not end with the spiritual realm but in fact it includes the physical realm as well, traditional prayers involve many bodily movements and postures, which have been scientifically proven to have medicinal and health benefits. Although Muslims generally perform their daily prayers out of religious duty, modern science has shed light on the physical advantages of offering prayers. Here are just a few of them: Improves blood circulation Different postures during prayer help in improving the overall blood flow in the body. People have a lot of issues when it comes to blood pressure where the blood flow is either too high or too low in a particular area of the body. In these cases, salah movements help regulate blood flow to all parts of the human body. During the bowing position, for example, blood flow is regulated in the upper body and during tashahhud, blood flow is regulated in the lower body. improves digestion; According to scientific studies, salah also aids in the digestion of food. For example, during the state of prostration, which is basically when the men sit with the feet curled under them and the women sit with the feet tucked under them, the posture allows and facilitates digestion. It improves liver function and relaxes the intestines, which in turn facilitates bowel movements in the body. Prayer can also help relieve cases of constipation and overeating.  Relieves back pain and joint pain The position of the body during prostration and kneeling helps open and relieve joints. Regular use of joints keeps them healthy and functioning. Moreover, the kneeling position helps relieve pain in the lower back by relaxing the ligaments and muscles (similar to yoga). It also helps relieve pain in the spinal cord and hip joints. By relaxing the spine, back pain and diseases of the spine can also be avoided. Prayer generally relaxes the shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle and hip joints. Cardiovascular health In essence, prayer is also a form of exercise and increases a person's metabolism, which essentially improves overall cardiovascular health. Every salah you offer is like exercising on a daily basis which improves the general functioning of the body organs and regulates gland secretion and blood flow in the body. body yoga According to modern science, yoga is one of the healthiest forms of exercise out there   The movements during prayer are similar to the movements found in the field of yoga. Yoga, like Salah, rejuvenates the body's mechanisms in general. It not only aims to maintain the physical fitness of the person, but also improves the mental well-being of the person. Yoga therapy aims to bring harmony in a person's life by bringing together all aspects of his/her life including physical, social, spiritual, psychological etc. and creating a complete circle of harmony. This is exactly what prayer aims to do. Achieving complete harmony and peace within the individual. Prayer also acts as an alternative to stress and anxiety, which yoga also fights against improves digestion; According to scientific studies, salah also aids in the digestion of food. For example, during the state of prostration, which is basically when the men sit with the feet curled under them and the women sit with the feet tucked under them, the posture allows and facilitates digestion. It improves liver function and relaxes the intestines, which in turn facilitates bowel movements in the body. Prayer can also help relieve cases of constipation and overeating.  sanitation One of the most prominent benefits of daily prayer is the general cleanliness and purity that the individual achieves. It keeps you in a constant state of purity. Before each prayer, a Muslim must perform ablution, which is the cleansing of the mouth, nose, face, ears, neck, hands, arms, and feet. Staying in a constant state of cleanliness leads to healthier skin and overall hygienic hygiene. It rids you of germs, allergens, and different types of infections and diseases caused by lack of hygiene. This just goes to show the palette of multifaceted benefits offered by prayer that not only serves as nourishment for our souls but for our body as well.  The benefits of prayer on mental health  Najwa Awad is a psychologist and fellow at the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research Who is passionate about helping Muslims heal, grow and thrive after adversity. She has a private practice, Amana Family Counseling, in which she provides online and in-person counseling to children, adults and families. Najwa also enjoys holding workshops to destigmatize mental illness, address current mental health issues within the community, and promote mental health from an Islamic perspective.  Islam provides a general framework for life, and within its teachings one can find many recommendations that promote mental health. Although these tenants are by nature cults, the secondary benefits of maintaining one's wellness through these actions are supported by recent research. As a psychotherapist, I can attest to the importance of spirituality in mental health, and in this article I will discuss three important connections between Islamic practices and mental wellness. Connect and love the ultimate provider. In my clinical practice, I have found that those who have a healthy, loving connection to God can be tremendously resilient in times of stress. When others fail them or the pressure is too much on them, they have a firm belief that God has their supreme interest and will carry them through them. Let us examine some aspects of how a relationship with God differs from any other type of relationship a person can have: Satisfying their basic needs is love and communication. A healthy attachment is essential to growing and meeting one's full potential and building meaningful relationships with others. Some people are blessed with an understanding of a healthy attachment to their loved one; But many individuals go through their lives feeling disconnected from others. In the absence of healthy attachments, humans tend to be at greater risk of isolation, low self-esteem, and unstable moods. permanent connection Why is knowing and embodying positive characteristics important for mental health? Understanding who you are or want to be can contribute to a strong sense of self; Psychotherapists like myself work with clients in session to increase self-esteem, life purpose, and healthy relationships. Falling back on essential health characteristics during times of stress can also be a guide in how to deal with interpersonal conflicts, difficult feelings, and moral doubts. Islam promotes mental health in a relationship with God - the Almighty - life way Mindfulness: Mindfulness is usually associated with Buddhism, but is actually a very important topic in Islam8. While mindfulness has recently emerged in clinical research as having benefits for mental health9, this is a practice that has been discussed (albeit slightly different from mainstream mindfulness). ) by Muslim scholars hundreds of years ago. Muslims follow the beliefs of Islam with conviction, but there are many mental health benefits to following an Islamic lifestyle. The following are some of the many acts of worship that have been proven in the scientific literature to be beneficial for mental health: Zakat: Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam. The physical movements of prayer Beneficial to the body and psychologically, there are mental health benefits to being in constant contact with a Greater Power throughout the day 6. It also showed the recitation of the Qur’an Which can be part of prayer, some psychological benefits. There are many aspects of practicing Islam that promote good mental health, and this article only scratches the surface on how spirituality can increase resilience. In my psychotherapy practice, I have found that spirituality can be very effective in reducing risk factors as well as facilitating coping. While these Islamic principles are first and foremost acts of worship, secondary benefits for mental health are evident in the scientific literature. The prayer and the healing Medical and scientific perspective Religious traditions around the world display beliefs in healing through prayer. Examining the healing powers of prayer in a randomized, triple-blind trial. We describe randomized controlled trials on prayer and healing, with one study in each of the different outcome categories. We provide a critical analysis of the scientific and philosophical dimensions of such research. Prayer has been reported to improve outcomes in human species as well as non-human species, to have no effect on outcomes, to worsen outcomes and to produce retrospective healing effects. For several reasons, research on the healing effects of prayer is full of assumptions, challenges, and contradictions that make the subject a scientific and religious minefield. We believe that research has not led anywhere, and that future research, if any, will forever be limited by the scientific limitations that we define. Religious practices have been associated with healing for thousands of years. People pray for good health and relief from disease. Prayer may lead to health and healing through one or more of several mechanisms. We look briefly at these mechanisms. Healing Mechanisms Through Prayer Prayer is a special form of meditation and as such may impart all of the health benefits that have been associated with meditation. To reduce stress and boost a positive mood States different types of meditation have been shown to lead to psychological and biological changes already associated or potentially associated with improved health. Meditation has been found to produce a clinically significant decrease in resting as well as ambulatory blood pressure to reduce heart rate resulting in cardiac and respiratory synchronization to alter melatonin and serotonergic levels to suppress cortical glutamatergic neurotransmission to enhance the immune response Enhanced self-esteem and reduced levels of reactive oxygen species as measured by ultrafast photon emission To reduce anxiety and pain To have a positive effect on the overall and spiritual quality of life in the late stage of the disease. Interestingly, spiritual meditation is superior to secular meditation and relaxation in terms of reducing anxiety, improving positive mood, spiritual health, spiritual experiences, and pain tolerance. Prayer may be underpinned by varying degrees of faith, and thus may be associated with all of the benefits that were associated with the placebo response. Clinically significant treatment gains have been observed with placebo in several disorders, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, tardive dyskinesia, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, Parkinson's disease, and even cancer, among a host of other conditions. With respect to the context of prayer and healing, the placebo response is affected by personality traits and behaviors such as optimism, response anticipation, motivational fit (i.e., the degree to which the behavioral ritual of treatment aligns with the subject's motivational system) and the degree of engagement in ritual Prayer may be associated with improvements that result from spontaneous remission, regression to mediocrity, unspecified psychosocial support, the Hawthorne effect and the Rosenthal effect. Spontaneous remission is known to occur in conditions ranging from medical disorders (such as colds and pharyngitis) to psychological conditions (such as depression and mania). Regression to the mean describes improvement that occurs as a result of random fluctuation in disease severity; In clinical trials, because patients are usually pre-selected for severe disease severity, such fluctuations occur in only one direction (ie, toward improvement). Non-specific emotional support provides psychological benefits through interpersonal contact, such as during diagnostic and assessment exercises. Non-specific support can reduce anxiety, depression, pain, and similar combinations. Spontaneous remission and conversion to the mean may occur coincidentally with prayer. Non-specific psychosocial support related to prayer may appear in places of collective prayer. Improvements in all of these contexts are real improvements. The Hawthorne effect refers to the change that occurs as a result of the act of observing or measuring, while the Rosenthal effect refers to the change caused by the observer or the expectation of the evaluator. In relation to the former, the comfortable setting of the study environment or the patient's conscious or unconscious desire to please may result in him reporting fewer symptoms than are actually present. With respect to the latter, the rater's tendency to expect attenuation of symptoms over time may lead to a less significant association with reported symptoms Prayer may have benefits due to divine intervention Although considering such a possibility may seem scientifically outlandish, there is no denying that people, all over the planet, pray for health and relief from symptoms in times of illness. Healing through prayer, healing through religious rituals, healing in places of pilgrimage, and healing through related forms of intervention are deeply rooted traditions in many religions. Let divine intervention act as a healing mechanism through prayer  Improve results associated with prayer Cha et al. studied 219 consecutive infertile women, ages 26 to 46, treated with embryo transfer in a laboratory in Seoul, South Korea. These women were randomized into the remote prayer and control groups. Prayers were held by prayer groups in the USA, Canada and Australia. Patients and their providers were not informed of the intervention. The investigators, and even the statisticians, did not know the group assignments until all the data had been collected. Thus, the study was randomized, triple-blind, controlled and prospective in design. Cha et al. found that women who prayed for had an almost twice higher pregnancy rate than those for whom they did not pray (50 vs 26%; P < 0.005). Moreover, women who were prayed for showed a higher rate of implantation than those who were not prayed for (16.3 vs. 8%; P < 0.001). Retrospective benefits with prayer These patients were randomized into prayer groups (n = 1691) and control group (n = 1702) in July 2000. A list of first names of patients in the prayer group was given to a person (details not specified) who said a short prayer (again details not specified) for the well-being and full recovery of the entire group. This prayer was said about 4-10 years or more after the index was accepted. There was no sham intervention. Thus, this study sought to determine whether prayer had a retrospective healing effect Patients in the prayer and control groups were similar in significant sociodemographic and clinical variables. While the mortality rate did not differ significantly between the prayer group and the control groups (28.1 vs 30.2%, respectively), the length of hospital stay and the duration of fever were significantly shorter in the prayer group than in the control group (P = 0.01 and 0.04, respectively). . Some points about this study are worth noting. The differences between the groups were very small, although it greatly favored the patients to whom prayers were offered. The two groups' averages differed by a small margin. Thus, the significance of the results is highly dependent on the outliers that distorted the sample. Thereafter, no attempt was made to compare with unusual biases, such as day of admission and discharge. It is possible, for example, that patients admitted at the end of the week may be screened and treated more slowly, and patients admitted at the end of the week may be kept until the beginning of the following week. Importantly, given the number of patients in each group, there was certainly a lot of overlap in first names. Did Lipovici consider the possibility that prayer, then, could benefit patients in both groups to the point of overlap? Finally, and in a lighter vein, would the results have changed had the author, in the best of ethical research spirits, introduced the experimental intervention (prayer) to the control group at the conclusion of the study? Most seriously, because the data was retrospective, the study could have been repeated many times, with a new randomizer each time. Were the results, then, to remain the same? These and other issues were raised in the periodical correspondence published on the article.

The file in PDF format and in Arabic language, please for First: The Holy Quran which came for the fasting Allah says يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ (183) أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۚ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ ۖ فَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُ ۚ وَأَن تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ  ( 184 ) شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ  ( 185 ) وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ  ( 186 ) أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَهُنَّ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنْكُمْ فَالْآنَ بَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَابْتَغُوا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ وَلَا تُبَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنْتُمْ عَاكِفُونَ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهَا كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ آيَاتِهِ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ {البقرة:187}. O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become pious (183) A number of days. Then whoever of you is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days, those who bear the ransom must feed a needy. But whoever does good voluntarily, it will be better for him, And that fast is better for you, if you only know (184) The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion, So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it, and whoever is sick or on a journey, let him fast a number of other days, God desires ease for you and does not desire hardship for you, and that you may complete the period, And glorify God for having guided you, And perhaps you will be grateful (185) And when My servants ask you about Me, then I am near. I answer the call of the supplicant when he calls upon me, So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be prudence (186) It is permissible for you on the night of fasting to have sexual intercourse with your wives. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them, God knew that you were rebelling against yourselves, but He turned to you and pardoned you, So now sexual intercourse with them and seek what God has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread, then complete the fast until nightfall, and do not interact with them while you are secluded in the mosques, These are the limits of God, so do not approach them. Thus does God make clear His signs to the people that they may become pious {Al-Baqarah: 187}. We agreed in advance that every action has an intention to benefit, and from this, fasting is a religious action like any other action, except that it has a legal character, Hence, It does not do it without the intention of benefiting, but on the contrary, there is the intention of benefiting, which is (obtaining piety) What is the relationship between abstaining from some permissible things during the day and obtaining piety at the end of the month as a reward? Let us not forget that the first day day of the Eid Al Fitr is called the reward day. Is piety the reward that I will obtain because of fasting? God knows, and with God’s blessings, let us begin with what we take from the noble verses that are with our hands. 1 - O you who believe An appeal to a limited group of M'mneen : a circle more specific than the general circle of Muslims by name or ID card. 2 - Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you Therefore, it is not an innovation from previous nations, but rather God - the Almighty - in all of His heavenly religions prescribed fasting for those who believe in Him. 3- That you may become righteous This is the goal of God Almighty’s mercy on this nation: to make it a big goal and small goals to be achieved through tasks, what is important here is day after day fasting for 30 days or less, from man to woman or otherwise, and it is one of the characteristics of the most productive people in life to have a long-term goal, He looks at it every day until it arrives, and this is what happens with us during fasting. We wait for breakfast every day as the completion of one of the tasks, and we wait for the reward day on the day of Eid. 4 - A few days how old are you?  60, 40, 20...etc. Do you feel that this age of your life has passed? It is just a few days, my brother, so take advantage of it, and the spoils are obtained after a battle, (Here is the battle is with yourself) And when you get it, hold on to it as if it were everything in this life, even if you were rich. 5 - So whoever of you is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days. People have circumstances, some of them have a normal life, some of them are under the burden of war, some of them are sick, some of them, and some of them, so among the future plans, that takes into account individual differences in people’s lives, wise legislation that makes exceptions a share, therefore, whoever plans for 100 years for giant companies and does not take into account the different circumstances of his employees is an unsuccessful plan. 6- Those who pay a ransom must feed a needy, So whoever does good voluntarily, it is better for him, and that you fast is better for you, if you only know, If your financial ability allows and your health does not allow you to fast, or travel frequently, and you can bear to pay the ransom, then do it voluntarily. In another topic, you will learn how many physical, psychological and mental benefits there are from fasting, you are the only beneficiary. Just imagine: God Almighty does not benefit from your fasting. Yes, you are the beneficiary. Whoever volunteers to spend money instead of fasting, it will be better for him, but fasting is better, more comprehensive and will changing your life. Then he concludes this verse by saying, “If you only knew,” didn’t I tell you that you are the beneficiary? 7 - The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. The months of the year are many and varied, and the month of Ramadan, since it is in the Arab months, is therefore variable. It is not the month of December, for example. Every year it comes in the winter, rather, someone who has tried fasting one summer in his life may not try it again until after many years of his life, if God Almighty prolongs his life, In the West today: They celebrate International Women's Day and Watermelon Day... I am not being sarcastic. They celebrate every occasion, insignificant or great, as an international day, and we have an international month (the month of Ramadan) They must be making an international day for something because it has something distinct from the rest of the days for this occasion in particular. We have an occasion for the international month (Ramadan) It is the revelation of the Qur’an through it, so it is special, so if you do not listen to the Qur’an in Ramadan, then when? If you do not read the Qur’an and do not count how many times you have read in order to finish and brag in front of people how many times you have completed, then when? If you do not read some of the interpretation so that the verses may guide you and make clear guidance for you, then when, the days pass by and we will all die, do you know your children well? What really bothers them and what they love...etc. So why don’t you understand the Qur’an the first thing you read, just as you read the thoughts of your children, O reader of thoughts, read the thoughts of God Almighty, It is more deserving of benefit than your bragging about reading other people's brains. 8 - So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it, and whoever is sick or on a journey, let him fast a number of other days. Let him fast: This is a divine command for your benefit, not for God’s benefit. And whoever is sick: You will have compensation for the year and all the years of your life, God willing, but be mindful and pay attention to what remains of your life. 9 - God desires ease for you and does not desire hardship for you. Strange, isn't it? Fasting is difficult, tiring and exhausting, and for some people it is almost impossible, and questions are multiplying: What is the wisdom? Why this hard work...etc.. Remember this part of the verse: He wants ease for you, He does not want hardship for you - Do yourself a favor by reading the psychological, mental and physical benefits of fasting during the month of Ramadan, As for the hardship you are talking about, it is not a characteristic of God - the Almighty - and He confirms this to you here so that you can be reassured. 10 - And that you may complete the number of days, and that you may glorify God for having guided you, and that you may be grateful. Complete the 30 days, O believer. Say from within yourself and from your heart (God is Great), why? To guide the Muslim nation to the best type of fasting ever, intermittent dry fasting for your health, psychology, and mind, He did not guide previous nations with heavenly laws to what He guided you to, and you neglect it, and perhaps you are among those who are thankful. What is the meaning of this? There are different types of gratitude, my brother: it includes the gratitude of the tongue that does not come from the heart, and it includes the gratitude of the heart, (A thankful heart as a the truth) Among them is the gratitude of the limbs, and you: How did you thank? Have you ever had Ramadan in your life and thanked God for its presence in your life, while you were alive and not dead? sound, he is not sick. Have you thanked God from your heart for that? If you did not do it one day, now: Give thanks for the blessing of Ramadan, for it is a blessing from God. 11 - And when My servants ask you about Me, then I am near. I answer the call of the supplicant when he calls upon me. What is the relationship: I fast and my Lord speaks to me about fasting and its benefits (if you know) and then He speaks to me about how He answers supplications. So understand what God Almighty is about when you want some benefit from your manager at work, You know that it is difficult for him to agree to this interest, and even if you are promoted and you do not deserve it due to your work, are you not trying to please him? You're trying, aren't you? Fasting is tantamount to pleasing God Almighty, It is one of the best forms of closeness through which you can draw closer to God - the Almighty - so if you complete your fast without gossip (initiation between people), without (backbiting), without malice, grudges, envy, and other things that discourage good deeds, so supplicate while you understand about God. You are the one who responds to the call. The supplication is answered. Pray and you are certain of the answer. It is not upon God - the Almighty - to work, no, no, but rather by making an effort to complete the worship in the way that pleases Him, then turn completely to His noble face, to carry out your interests, your interests with him are not with your manager, your interests with him are not in the hands of acquaintances, your interests with him are not in the hands of your father or your mother... now, now. 12 - So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be prudence (186) What is the quality of the response? It is to complete worship in the way he wants, not what you do, and let them believe in me: Aren’t we believers enough? It seems that we are not, If we remember the Almighty’s saying (and in heaven there is provision for you and what you are promised), we would refrain from many things that we do. Why, Lord, the response and faith (perhaps they will be prudence ) and what is prudence? A man is sensible: he is right, he is guided, he is upright, he knows the path of righteousness, or he disposes of money well, From the last: You will be more rational, you will be mature and no one will laugh at you, I will fast and in the end I will be mature, what is the relationship? Eating and drinking are hidden desires of the soul that only two types of people can sublimates: things All of us, most of us, are immersed in this blindingly, why? It is said: Btnah: " extreme fullness of food" takes away intelligence and the mind is called reason only because it protects its bearer from falling into danger, and God is Most High and Most Knowing. 13 - It is lawful for you on the night of fasting to have sexual intercourse with your wives. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them. God knew that you were rebelling against yourselves, so he turned. upon you and pardoned you, so now have peace with them and seek what God has decreed for you. One of the greatness of this religion is that it is not fasting from a specific type of food or fasting for long months that deprives the body of its requirements, but it is fasting that does not deprive the body but rather refines the spirit and gains immunity that strengthens the body in a better way. 14 - And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread, then complete the fast until night, and do not bond with them while you are If you spend time in the mosques, those are the limits of God, so do not approach them. A Provisions let us abide by them 15 - Thus does God make clear His signs to the people that they may become pious. {Al-Baqarah: 187}. God - the Almighty - explained to us the legitimacy, rulings, and the ideal method for fasting. Note: God did not teach us in the noble verses that a drop breaks the fast or that backbiting eats up good deeds, Rather, he left that for the purified Sunnah, which we will talk about shortly. As for what was stated in the Qur’an regarding the obligation of fasting: It talked about reason, maturity, maturity, and piety. So do you leave the virtuous to less than that? Second: The Purified Sunnah The reward of those who fast The heaven Al-Bukhari’s wording: There is a gate in Paradise called Al-Rayyan through which those who fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection, no one except them will enter from it. It is said, “Where are the fasting people?” They stand up and no one except them will enter from it. If they enter, it is closed and no one enters from it. The forgiveness of sin On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Whoever prays Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.) Agreed upon. On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: (Whoever prays the Night of Fate out of faith and seeking reward, His previous sins will be forgiven.) Agreed upon. Stay away from fire On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (Fasting is a shield and a strong fortress from Hell) Narrated by Ahmed. A reason to answer supplications On the authority of Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (Three supplications are not rejected: the supplication of a father, the supplication of a fasting person, and the supplication of a traveler) It was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Sunan, and Al-Dia’ in Al-Ahadith Al-Mukhtara, and its chain of transmission is good. One of the types of intercession on the Day of Resurrection On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for the servant on the Day of Resurrection, Fasting says: Oh Lord, I prevented him from food and desires during the day, Fasting says: Oh Lord, I prevented him from food and desires during the day, so let me intercede for him, The Qur’an says: I prevented him from sleeping at night, so let me interceded for me on his behalf so, they intercede.” Narrated by Ahmad. The blessing and the presence of angels at suhoor On the authority of Amr bin Al-Aas, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (A separation between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book who eat pre-dawn prayers) Narrated by Muslim. On the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (Suhoor is eaten with blessings; do not leave it, even if one of you drinks a sip of water; For God Almighty and His angels pray over those who wear suhoor.” Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban. On the authority of Abdullah bin Omar, may God be pleased with them both, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Indeed, God and His angels send blessings upon those who wear suhoor.) Narrated by Ibn Hibban. On the authority of Al-Miqdam bin Maadi Karb, may God be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:   (You should eat the suhoor lunch, for it is the blessed lunch.) Narrated by Al-Nasa’i. Of course, you are an expert: We pray and hope for an answer from God, and some of us accept His obedience and some do not. As for the angels, they are honorable servants who do not sin like us, so their supplications are inevitably answered. So pray for yourself and the nation at suhoor, for it is a prayer that is guaranteed ( Amen above it) by the angels and is therefore not rejected. The reward is from God - the Almighty - directly On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (God Almighty said: Every action of the son of Adam is for him except fasting; it is for Me and I will reward for it, Fasting is a shield, and if it is a day for one of you to fast, he should not be intercourse with women, nor be loud. If someone insults him or fights him, he should say: I am a fasting person, and by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to God than the scent of musk, The fasting person has two joys: when he breaks his fast he rejoices, and when he meets his Lord he rejoices in his fasting) Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. We will not talk about the Noble Hadith except in one part only Fasting is for me and I will reward it Note: All Islamic laws (Hajj and Umrah - Zakat - Prayer...) are all based on God - the Almighty - so why did he single out fasting as “His” perhaps for the following reasons: 1 - Through it is the monitoring of God - the Almighty - no one, no matter how much he watches you, is superior to the monitoring of God - the Almighty - so no one truly knows whether you are breaking the fast or fasting. 2 - He urged me to fast while he did not benefit - Glory be to Him - so who benefits? 3 - The reward for all deeds is written by the angels, except for fasting. It is written directly with God, and He is the one who rewards it with a worldly reward (piety and maturity) and an afterlife reward that we do not really know. All we know is entering through the Gate of Al-Rayyan. Acceptable fasting, God willing. Oh God, accept our small deeds before the big ones, remove from them those that frustrate deeds, and accept them from us with good acceptance. And remember what good acceptance is? There is an act of worship that is unacceptable - God forbid - the one who performs it takes pains to work and it is not accepted from him (It was accepted from one of them but not from the other) There is acceptable worship, not with acceptable appreciation, but with appreciation for excellence - if so to speak - (So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance.) And you have to choose. May God accept good deeds from us and from you.

On the authority of Hammam, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said   The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said, “By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the scent of the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of God, from the wind of musk, he spurns his desire, his food and his drink, from my fault, fasting is for me and I shall reward it. Al - Khalouf  The mouth odor changes due to leaving food during fasting The scientific side of the topic First: the saliva pH? The normal pH range for saliva is 6.2 to 7.6. Eating changes the pH of saliva. There are good bacteria in your mouth. For example, if you eat carbohydrates such as (bread, pasta, etc.), these bacteria are broken down, and the acidity level in saliva decreases. Also, adults have more acidic saliva than children... Now I will tell you the best things. What you do for a balanced pH in saliva. The information   When saliva becomes more acidic, the acids in your mouth begin to demineralize (crack) the enamel of your teeth, leading to discomfort when drinking hot, cold, or sugary drinks. How do I know that my saliva is acidic?   the persistent bad breath Sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks Dental cavities The Parabens in oral products are bad for you Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for their antimicrobial properties. They inhibit the growth of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of various products, including toothpaste and mouthwash, Initially, parabens were considered safe. However, increasing research indicates that these preservatives can be toxic, irritating, and can cause allergic reactions. Consumers are increasingly aware of products that contain parabens, and they are concerned about the safety of the products. The oral care products Toothpaste and mouthwash have been used on a daily basis for a long time. Because these products are moist, they are at risk of bacterial contamination. Hence, parabens are used to keep these products free from bacteria and fungi.  The consumers are now well aware of the adverse effects They are more concerned about the risk of developing cancer. As a result, there is an increasing demand for paraben-free toothpaste and mouthwash in the market. Some of the paraben-free toothpaste brands are himalayan herbals, sarakan toothpaste, and australian tea tree, even Colgate has ignored the use of parabens since July 2016. While the amount of parabens ingested through oral care products is considered minimal, individuals should use their discretion based on their general state of health.  The witness You, as a fasting person, refrain from brushing your teeth after the shadow appears on the horizon, and refrain from eating and drinking, which allows you not to change the pH of the mouth from the normal level to unbalanced levels due to 1- Lack of soft drinks, especially soft drinks 2- Lack of sugary drinks 3 - Low use of carbohydrates 4 - Less exposure to parabens found in toothpaste and lotion Which somewhat restores the balance of the mouth's pH  And the question: Does God Almighty among the benefits of fasting preserving the oral pH and returning it to a normal state, in addition to improving the gut microbiome due to fasting? Thus improving the health of your body's pH which has countless functions to keep you healthy - of course this post is just a suggestion - not based on more evidence than is available in this file Does the use of miswak invalidate the fast? So the fasting person’s use of the siwak during the day does not harm or affect the validity of the fast, because the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, urged the nation to use the siwak at all times, and he did not exclude the time of fasting or any other time, so this indicates that it is not harmful to the fast. But if he puts it in his mouth until its sparkle is wet, then takes it out of his mouth, then puts it back into his mouth again, then swallows the wetness that was on the siwak, then it breaks the fast if he does that deliberately. But if he did it by mistake or out of forgetfulness, it does not harm him, just as the mere wetness of the siwak does not harm him. The benefits of miswak A review of the therapeutic effects of using miswak (Salvadora persica) on oral health, the use of miswak is related to health, social and cultural norms and religious beliefs. The World Health Organization has recommended and encouraged the use of these sticks as a tool for oral hygiene in areas where their use is effective and customary. Participation and use of appropriate technology. For optimal oral health and hygiene, miswak can be used alone or as an adjunct to a traditional toothbrush. Hence, the use of miswak should be encouraged and promoted based on scientific knowledge of its many therapeutic effects on oral health, ease of availability, popularity, and low cost. However, achieving optimal effects of miswak (Salvadora persica) depends on its regular use with appropriate and effective techniques.

حدثنا مسدد حدثنا إسماعيل عن أيوب عن نافع عن ابن عمر رضى الله تعالى عنهما قال صام النبي ﷺ عاشوراء وأمر بصيامه فلما فرض رمضان ترك وكان عبد الله لا يصومه إلا أن يوافق صومه Musaddad told us, Ismail told us, on the authority of Ayyub, on the authority of Nafi`, on the authority of Ibn Umar, may God be pleased with them both, who said: fasted When Ramadan was obligatory, he left it, and Abdullah did not fast it, unless it coincided with his fast.

First: The Physical benefits  Increased sensitivity to insulin Insulin sensitivity is a term used to describe how effectively the body lowers blood sugar levels, by secreting the hormone insulin. A person with a higher insulin sensitivity will need less insulin to handle the glucose in their blood than someone with a lower sensitivity. Decreased insulin sensitivity can lead to a host of ill effects such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, heart disease, and obesity. It has been scientifically proven that fasting significantly increases insulin sensitivity. In short  fasting can help enhance insulin sensitivity, which in turn can help us have healthy blood pressure, cholesterol levels, heart disease, a healthier weight, and a lower risk of diabetes. The autophagy Professor Yoshinori Ohsumi, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology last year, devoted himself to studying a process called autophagy. In broad terms, it's like stripping an old car and reusing parts that might still be useful elsewhere It has been found that autophagy plays a critical role in helping the body to   Fighting the onset of a wide range of diseases and ailments, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's. It has been found that fasting is an effective way to induce the autophagy process in the body. For those of us who care more about beauty than the health of their brains Autophagy has also been found to decrease how quickly individuals age. Briefly Fasting can stimulate autophagy, which in turn can prevent a host of neurodegenerative disorders, in addition to helping us look younger. Promote gut health It was found that a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut is critical to a healthy digestive system. Researchers from the laboratory of Professor John Thomas reported that fasting fruit flies experienced gene activity that produced an anti-inflammatory response that protected their digestive systems and the bacteria within them. While this study was conducted on fruit flies, the Flies chosen because they have the same metabolism-related genes as humans. A healthy digestive system can greatly boost our immune system. Accordingly, the researchers found that the flies that fasted lived twice as long as the flies that did not fast. Briefly   Fasting can promote gut health, which in turn can improve our immune system and digestive processes, allowing us to live longer. Killing cancer cells It has been proven that fasting kills cancer cells. Researchers from UT Southwestern in Dallas, Texas, report that intermittent fasting inhibits the development and progression of the most common type of childhood leukemia. Another study reported   Conducted this time at the University of Southern California, fasting, when combined with chemotherapy, strips away the protection that protects breast cancer and melanoma cells, allowing the body's immune system to treat the cancer more effectively. Other published research has shown that The combination of fasting and chemotherapy makes the treatment more effective Briefly Fasting can help the body fight cancer cells, as well as slow their progression and development. Second: The physiological health benefits: The Increased willpower Professor Roy Baumeister of Florida State University has spent a great deal of time researching self-esteem and self-control/willpower. Perhaps surprisingly, he found that willpower is more important to happiness and success than self-esteem. His strength model of self-control likens willpower to a muscle that can get stronger with exercise. Using this model, Baumeister and his colleagues found that individuals who devote some time to improving their "control muscles" see a full range of benefits, some expecting them and others less. By enrolling participants in programs to improve self-control, researchers found that individuals consumed less nicotine and caffeine, managed their emotions better, did more housework, spent less impulsively, ate less junk food and also spent more time studying. Their research found that it could   Improved self-control, and significantly improved self-control in one area (such as abstaining from food and drink) led to improvements in other areas (such as emotional control, financial habits, or time management). Researchers have used the strength model of self-control to find that strong willpower can also help individuals act in pro-social ways. Psychologist Nathan DeWall reported that individuals whose wills were sound were more likely to help a stranger, donate money to a sick child, and provide food to a homeless person. Improving our willpower can be a useful way to increase our compassionate behaviors Most famously, psychologist Walter Mischel's Marshmallow Test is a seminal study that highlights the benefits of having strong willpower. Michelle's delicious experiment put kids in the hot seat, offering them marshmallows they could eat right away, or they could choose to wait several minutes This study became very interesting when the researchers followed it up with the children later in life. They found that children who were able to resist the urge to eat a single marshmallow, Delay their satisfaction to get a bigger reward later They were less likely to be on the wrong side of the law Not obese Do not suffer from drug abuse They have higher levels of academic achievement They have better relationships most effective Most healthy physically and psychologically Third: The mental health benefits  The Fasting can help your brain More than a billion Muslims around the world celebrate the holy month of Ramadan. Fasting Ramadan is a requirement for the believers. This means that they are forbidden from having sex, smoking, drinking and eating food from sunrise to sunset. Today we are talking about fasting, which includes only food. Regardless of spiritual or religious reasons, What are the effects of not eating on human health? A team of researchers in the United States said that fasting is good for our brain.  Mark Mattson is a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He and others have studied how dietary restrictions can protect your brain from neurological diseases that get worse over time. Two examples of these diseases are Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, his team found that controlling and restricting calories may improve a person's memory, emotions, and state of mind. Mattson says his studies build on years of research that has confirmed links between the number of calories a person eats and mental ability. Calories are a measure of the energy in food.  However, if you eat three meals a day, with snacks in between, your body will not have time to use up all of the liver glycogen. Therefore, chemicals for learning and memory are not produced. A report in Johns Hopkins Health Review describes the links. It is said that every time we eat, a sugar called glucose is stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. It takes your body about 10 to 12 hours to use all of the glycogen.   The report said, “After using glycogen your body begins to burn fat, which turns into chemicals that neurons use as energy. These chemicals are important for learning, memory, and overall brain health, Physical exercise can also use up glycogen, Mattson said. not surprisingly, he added, "exercise has been shown to have the same positive effect on the brain as fasting."  The researchers found that  reducing food intake for at least two days a week can improve neural connections in the hippocampus. This part of the brain controls emotions and plays a role in long-term memory, and a calorie-controlled diet protects neurons from the buildup of amyloid plaques.

Who should fast Ramadan? Abu Dawud and An-Nasa’i reported with an authentic chain of transmission that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: The pen has been lifted from three: from the boy until he reaches puberty, from the sleeper until he wakes up, and from the insane until he wakes up. 2- Puberty: Fasting is not required for the discerning person, and it is valid if he fasts. 3 - Intellect, where it is not required to assign the non-taxable to any of the legitimate costs. 4 - The absence of excuses that prevent fasting or it is permissible to break the fast: and the excuse that prevents fasting: menstruation and childbirth. 5- Knowing that fasting is obligatory: the ignorant person is excused for fasting if he grew up far from Islam and Muslims, the world does not excuse the obligation to fast. 6- Safety from disease When is my fast is valid? The Evidence of entering the month of Ramadan The time during which fasting is valid, so it is not valid to fast on the day of Eid, for example, or the day before Ramadan.   Intention As worship is not valid without intention, and the intention is achieved by the determination to fast and the intention of the heart, and it is not required to utter it with the tongue, If the answer is correct. Narrated by Al-Bukhari on the authority of the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - who said: (actions are but by intentions, and every person has intentions)  Hurry up for breakfast ((People will continue to be fine as long as they hasten to break the fast. Supplication during breakfast: by saying: (The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, God willing)   Miswak  It is desirable for the fasting person to use the Miswak at any part of the day. Whether it is the first day or the end of the day. Suhoor (When he breaks his fast, he says, “The thirst is gone, the veins are quenched, and the reward is confirmed, God willing.” What are the excuses for breakfast?   1 - Inability to fast of old age or severe illness   or disease leading to death 2. Long travel whose distance is not less than eighty-three kilometers, provided that travel is permissible, It takes a full day, and it is not permissible to break the fast; due to travel during the day, It is also permissible to break the fast when one is unable to fast, and the distance of travel in which it is permissible to break the fast: and it is now equal to about: eighty-three and a half kilometers, and more whether or not. He did not have a hardship, and he must make up the days that he did not fast at that time, fasting is not required for the incapacitated or chronically ill. Because God Almighty says فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ{ سورة البقرة (184) So whoever of you is sick or on a journey, the same number of other days, and those who are able to do it must pay a ransom by feeding a poor person. So whoever volunteers good, it is better for him, And that you fast is better for you, if you only knew.” Surah Al-Baqarah (184) 4- the pregnancy and lactation   If a pregnant or breastfeeding woman is able to fast and does not fear harm to herself or her child, then she should fasting Ramadan and it is not permissible for her to break her fast according to a fatwa from a group of the Companions on that, this is the view of the majority, but if she fears for herself or for her fetus, she may break the fast. 5 - Excessive, unusual hardship   If it is difficult for him to fast because of an illness from which it is hoped he will be cured, or he was in a campaign and jihad, or he was afflicted with severe hunger or thirst, and he feared harm for himself, and his ruling is that it is permissible to break the fast and that it is necessary to make it up. 6 Rescue a respected person It is the sanctity of legitimacy as a supervisor of destruction. If the salvation of this soul or part of it is cut off from the saving a soul, He may break his fast, as if he is required to save the soul of someone who has no other savior, and he must make up after that. What are the invalidation of fasting? There are things that invalidate the fast, and you should pay attention to them, including the following: Intentionally eating or drinking Of course: intentionally eating or drinking invalidates the fast, and everything that takes the place of eating and drinking has the same ruling and invalidates the fast, such as: taking fluids intravenously; Because it nourishes the body like eating and drinking. 2- Intercourse or masturbation Intercourse during the fasting period invalidates it during the day and during the hours of fasting, however, this does not mean leaving it, rather it is permissible to have sexual intercourse after breaking the fast at night, provided that they perform ablution after it, Likewise, masturbation is considered one of the things that invalidate the fast, and it is obligatory to break the fast if that happens. 3- Intentional vomiting This means intentional regurgitation of food or drink into the stomach. But if this happened unintentionally, then the fasting person remains as he is without breaking the fast. 4- the menstruation and the childbirth If a woman enters menstruation or childbirth, she is not required to fast. It should be noted that a woman must break her fast even if menstruation began shortly before breakfast. 5- Kidney dialysis During dialysis, blood is withdrawn and then returned to the patient's body along with some substances and foods such as sugars and salts. It has been agreed that dialysis is one of the things that break the fast. The disputed of the in validators   The asthma inhalers   Which contain medical preparations and oxygen, as the content of the spray reaches the lungs, not the stomach. The enema Suppositories or ointments  used to relieve hemorrhoid pain The anesthesia Through the nose, such as inhaling an anesthetic. Some injections such as penicillin or insulin   Inserting something into the stomach other than through the mouth  Like ear and nose drops, the schools differed in that, some said that it invalidates the fast, while others said: it does not invalidate the fast. The cupping   It is the removal of blood through the skin rather than through the veins, and is an alternative treatment that many undergo until now, there is no conclusive evidence that cupping invalidates the fast, except that it is widespread, and that is why it is best to avoid it during fasting times.  The teeth medicine   The controversy is still based on the blood resulting from dental treatment, as some believe that it invalidates the fast, while others believe that it does not break the fast.  In the case of dental treatment and bleeding, be sure not to swallow what is in the mouth.   Brushing the teeth with toothpaste or rinsing the mouth is not considered to invalidate the fast. This may cause fasting in the case of intentional ingestion of the oral cavity must do penance  The Pregnant and breastfeeding provisions It is not permissible for a pregnant woman to make up for the missed fasts by atonement for sin only, because that is as if the sick person is a transient disease and it disappears, this kind of excuse must be compensated for by fasting, and the penance is not the same. Like a man who underwent surgery during the day in Ramadan, so he broke his fast for a week and God healed him, so he must make up what he owes for his fast after the end of Ramadan.  The Provisions of the patient with chronic disease He does not hope for his recovery, that is, that it will continue with him for years or all his life, so he must pay the expiation for fasting, and he must do so. He is not allowed to fast. If the doctor advises him to break the fast, contrary to the doctor's instructions, then he is sinning according to Sharia The ruling on taking atonement for fasting   Al-Azhar International Center for Electronic Fatwa said that whoever breaks the fast in Ramadan with a legitimate excuse must make up the fasts of these days, noting that it is obligatory to make up the days of Ramadan with an excuse for those who break the fast, , when the ability to do so is achieved. Fasting or fidyah is better if the state of health, for those who did not fast during the days of Ramadan, they allow the missed fasts, so the ransom is not sufficient Fasting, find out the best way   Calculate the number of days approximately for each year in which a pregnancy or breast-feeding occurred, then start by making up two days a week, or one day a week, or fasting the excesses with the intention of making up for them, with the intention of volunteering, such as Mondays and Thursdays of every week, or the three days of each month, or the endowment of Arafat, Or the six days of Shawwal or the day of Shaw`ban, all of which are days of unnecessarily fasting, and it is permissible for you to fast them twice, and do not make up the fasts too much.

There are two characteristics for ghusl from impurity 1 - An attribute of the obligatory ghusl that was performed by the one who performed it as a part of the reword, He takes half the wage, and his impurity raise up from him. 2- Which combined two things: the first: the intention, which is to take a bath with the intention of raising the impurity, and the second: circulating the body with water. The characteristic of complete ghus For the duties and Sunnahs of Ghusl in full: please for: https://dinaeltawilah.wixsite.com/rrm3-members-all-ove/post/the-ghusl-provisions And whoever is confined to the first characteristic of ghusl From the intention and circulating the body with water, that is sufficient even if he did not perform ablution, because ablution is included in the washing, and this washing is for both men and women, However, a woman does not have to undo her braid if the water reaches the root of the hair, By one of these two ablutions, the man or woman will be purified from impurity, and the woman will also be purified from menstruation and postpartum bleeding. The hygiene after sex What to do after sex to make sure you don't get an infection Hygiene after sex, if not maintained, can lead to various complications to your sensitive reproductive organs and make you really sick. This is all you need to do after sex to maintain your health. wash your hands It is the best way to get rid of bacteria that you may pick up when you or your partner touch your genitals. This is key to preventing the spread of infection. Wash with soap and water and make it part of your post-sex cleaning routine. Take care of any yeast infections Partners can pass these back and forth during sex. (Yes, men get yeast infections too.) So if you notice symptoms — itching, burning, or a thick, white discharge from your vagina or penis — treat them before the next time you get busy. Talk to your doctor if you think you have one. Clean and wash your genitals Having sex does not mean turning off the lights and going to sleep. Go out to the bathroom and wash your genitals (not the inside), although you don't have to shower immediately after having sex. Gently washing your reproductive organs with water will help you avoid any type of infection including urinary tract infection (UTI) and this applies to both men and women. You can try mild soap, but it is wise not to use soap if your skin is sensitive or if you already have an infection. Soap can dry out the area and cause irritation. Men with foreskin should gently pull it back and wash it under it, experts suggest. The cleaning process should be simple Cleaning up after sex should not include any type of lotion, wipes, creams or sprays. While we usually assume that these help rejuvenate your private organs, they may end up damaging the area. Some are made with harsh soaps, detergents, shampoos, perfumes, or lotions that can chafe your skin in and around your personal areas. Rinsing the area with warm water is the ideal solution. Try to stay away from tampons, pads, powders, and scented sprays, especially if you have a tendency to get infections quickly. Go and pee after sex It is important to urinate after sex because this reduces your chance of infection. Bacteria can enter the urethra at the time of sex. The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of your body. The moment you urinate, these germs exit your body with your urine. Women should wipe from front to back to prevent the spread of bacteria. The purity musk Evaluation of the antibacterial effect of musk on eleven bacterial strains and three yeast species, This study investigates the antagonistic effect of different musk concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% on some pathogenic microorganisms. 11 bacterial strains and 3 yeast species were isolated and identified. Strains of bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella enteritis, Proteus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Escherichia coli, Aeromonas aquaticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes and Pseudomonas aureus. The three species isolated from yeast are Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results indicated Musk has inhibitory effects on the growth of the studied pathogenic microorganisms. The higher concentration of 100% musk was less effective, possibly due to the fact that the higher concentration musk had a high viscosity and caused cracks in the medium which hindered its diffusion through the media. The results also showed that musk was more effective than antibiotics.

The Emptiness in a language The vast expanse of Earth In terminology The place where there is no one, or nothing Q: Does the emptiness is the usual bathroom today? Since the houses at the time of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - did not contain a place to relieve oneself, rather they used to go to the spacious land outside the house, they cover themselves and fulfill their needs, and it has been called a toilet. Because one is alone in it. In the previous era, this expression was synonymous with the term Al-Kanaf In the hadith of Aisha, the Mother of the Believers - may God be pleased with her - in Sahih Muslim, this term was mentioned in her description of the condition of women when relieving themselves, and she said: (And we do not go out except night after night, and that is before we take Al-Kanaf close to our homes, we commanded the first Arabs to rose above it, we were harm to take them to our homes.) And in a narration in Bukhari (And our command is the command of the first Arabs to defecate before defecation) And the excrement is The low place, which was used for defecation in, then He - Glory be to Him - says in Surah An-Nisa: (Or has any of you come from the gha't, " defecation " Or have you touched women?) Verse: The place of relieving oneself, the house of defecation , the Kaneef, or the house of the toilet All of them are terms used to refer to what is called today a toilet, or a bathroom, where this empty space that was in the desert was moved inside the buildings, People's customs regarding this differed depending on time. The second opinion The toilet or excrement is the place prepared for relieving oneself, as for the bathroom, it is the place prepared for bathing, If this becomes clear; The defecation, or the toilet, is the place prepared for relieving oneself, in which a person is alone for this purpose, as for what is next to it from the watering hole, or what contains several cells of a large building, the description of emptiness does not apply to him. And accordingly Do not enter large spaces with your left foot (such as hotel bathrooms, restaurants, malls, etc.) rather, you enter the place prepared for relieving oneself, which is one of the cells grouped in this building, with your left foot. As well as all the rulings related to defecation or the toilet, only apply to the same place where the toilet is intended, not on the large building that brings together several cells, Perhaps there were other water basins and the like in it. Q: What is recommended to be said and done when entering and leaving the toilet? In the entering Presenting his left foot, he says, “In the name of God, I seek refuge in God from evil and female evil. When you go out Ghfrank, meaning: I ask you for forgiveness Q: Is it permissible to face the Qiblah when defecating? What about public bathrooms such as hotels? The correct view is that there is nothing wrong with that if it is in homes, but placing the toilets facing other than the qiblah would be better, In the desert, it is not permissible for a person to face the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, but rather make it to his right or left. Muslim narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him: On the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: ((If one of you sits to relieve himself, he should not face the Qiblah or turn away from it)) In Sunan Abu Dawud - which is good with evidence - on the authority of Marwan Al-Asfar, he said: I saw Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both, leaning his camel facing the Qiblah, then sitting down to urinate towards it, so I said: O Abu Abdul Rahman, wasn’t this forbidden? He said: Yes, it is only forbidden in space, If there is something between you and the Qiblah that covers you, then there is no problem. Q Mention the etiquette of relieving oneself? With evidence for this? He does not enter the toilet with anything that mentions God Almighty or the Qur’an, and it is forbidden for him to read the Qur’an. It is forbidden for him to relieve himself in The path of the people, or under their shade, or their water sources, according to the words of the Prophet, :(Beware of the curser who abandons people’s path or their shadow) Narrated by Muslim. It is forbidden for him to touch his private parts with his right hand According to what the Prophet said in the Two Sahihs on the authority of Abu Qatada, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: ((If one of you urinates, let him not take his private part with his right, He should not cleanse himself with his right hand, nor should he breathe into a vessel.) It is disliked for a person to speak when relieving himself It has been reported that God detests this, not speaking about a Dhkr or something else: Muslim narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that a man greeted the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, while he was urinating,   He did not respond to him. Q: Is it permissible for a man to urinate in water and then bathe in it? Muslim narrated on the authority of Jabir, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, it forbade urinate in stagnant water, and in the two Sahihs on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: ( (None of you should urinate in permanent water and then wash yourself with it.)

Khuff: A thin leather garment worn on a man's body As for wiping over the socks, there is disagreement regarding its permissibility among the scholars, What is most likely in our view is that it is permissible to wipe over them, and see Fatwa No.: 196513. A sock, even if it is not called a shoe in the language, is something that resembles a shoe, such as wool or the like, as it is in its meaning and therefore it is permissible to wipe over it. The reason why it is permissible to wipe over a sock. Reducing hardship: The correct and clear analogy requires that it is permissible to wipe over the socks. This is because we know that the reason behind the permissibility of wiping over the socks is the hardship that occurs by taking them off during ablution, then washing the foot, then inserting them while they are wet, as this entails hardship in terms of removing and wearing them, With regard to inserting the foot while it is wet, this reasonable and clear wisdom applies completely to the two socks, as removing them is a hardship, and inserting them while the foot is wet is another hardship therefore, we see that both the text and the view indicate that it is permissible to wipe over the socks. the conditions for wiping over the socks:   1- It must be pure from impurity  2- It should cover the foot along with the heels  3- To wear them with complete ablution The nullifiers of scanning over drink  1- Occurrence of what necessitates ritual ablution for impurity.  2- Remove the sock.  3- Some feet are exposed to the audience.  4- End of the scanning period (one day and one night for the present, and three days and nights for the traveler) Is it permissible to wipe over the socks worn today? Is it permissible to wipe over the socks worn today?  Cotton - linen - wool - very light - cut  The public ruling Khuff: A thin leather garment worn on a man's body  A group of researchers have supported this opinion, and therefore there is no problem with wiping over the socks that people wear 1 - Problem: continuing to walk in socks The socks must be thick so that this can be done in them, and the criterion for the possibility of continuing walking was explained by Al-Nawawi, who said: This means that it is possible to walk on it at landing sites and when landing and traveling, in cases where people frequent the house or the resident, the same is the case, as is the custom of those who wear Khuff, and it is not a condition that they can continue walking for leagues. I finish. Accordingly, whatever socks are of this type, whether they are made of (cotton, wool, or other), he should wipe over them, even if the skin is longer than them, then this has no effect on the ruling, as for the opinion that there is no stipulation, the matter is clear, and as for those scholars who stipulated that the Khuff should not allow water to pass through them, the basis of his statement is to be limited to the concession, according to what was mentioned in it, the Khuff  in most cases do not penetrate water, and hence this condition was taken. The author of Kifayat al-Akhyar from the Shafi’is said, and he mentioned the conditions for what one wipes on. 2 - Problem: preventing the penetration of water It must prevent the penetration of water, and if it does not prevent it, then it is not permissible to wipe over it, according to the most correct opinion, because what is most likely in the case of the khuff is that it prevents the penetration of water, so the texts focus on it. End. The Sheikh of Islam - may God have mercy on him - explained the reason for the reluctance of many jurists to expand on the permission in the chapter on wiping overa barrier, so he said:  Most likely  The saying that a sock made of cloth is not permissible to wipe over in all schools of thought is incorrect 3 - The problem of keeping the sock on the feet so that it does not fall What is meant by the stability of the socks and what is related to them is that they be fixed on the feet such that they do not fall when walking on them, thus exposing the place of the obligation on the foot, this is a clear meaning. Light drink is not included in the specifications of the sock over which it is permissible to wipe, according to many scholars, because they stipulated that this is permissible, that they should cover the obligatory place, and that they should be thick enough to be able to be walked on, taking from the general concept of the meaning of socks known to the honorable companions. Are there scholars who did not stipulate that the sock be thick? Among the scholars are those who do not stipulate that sock, meaning socks, should be thick or thick enough to be able to be walked in as one would walk with khuff and sandals, because there is no text regarding that. In the collection of fatwas by Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may God Almighty have mercy on him:   It is permissible to wipe over the socks if a woman walks in them, whether they are made of leather or not, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions. In the Sunnah That the Prophet {wiped on his socks and his sandals} If this hadith is not proven, then analogy requires it, as the difference between the two socks and the two sandals, It is only that this is made of wool and this is made of skins, It is known that such a difference has no effect on Sharia law, there is no difference between it being leather, cotton, linen, or wool, just as there is no distinction between the blackness of clothing in the ihram and its whiteness, what is forbidden and what is permissible, and its purpose is that the skin is stronger than wool, so this has no effect, just as it has no effect because the skin is strong, rather, it is permissible to wipe over what remains and what does not remain. also, it is known that the need for wiping over this, Like the need for wiping in the same way, even though the wisdom and need are equal, the distinction between them would be a distinction between similar people, and this is contrary to justice and correct consideration, with which He brought the Book and the Sunnah, and with which God sent down His Books and sent His Messengers, and whoever differentiates between this one water permeates him and this one it does not permeate, it mentioned a direct, ineffective difference. End.  Q: Is it required that the socks, be thick so that the skin cannot be seen behind them, or is this not a requirement? This is a matter of disagreement among scholars 1 - Some of them said It is required that they be thick and do not cover the skin, and that if a breach occurs over them, even if it is as slight as a rag, it is not permissible to wipe over them. 2 - And some of them said It is required that they be thick to prevent water from reaching the leg, even if they are not covering. Accordingly, it is permissible to wipe over the socks if they are made of transparent nylon. 3 - And some of them said All of this is not required, and it is permissible to wipe over thin socks even if the skin is visible behind them and if water can pass through them to the foot, this statement is correct because there is no evidence for the stipulation, and the wisdom behind the permissibility of wiping is present in the transparent ones just as it is present in the thick ones, based on this, it is permissible to wipe over thin socks, just as it is permissible to wipe over thick socks. I finish. Q: Is it permissible to wipe over a punctured sock? The jurists differed regarding the permissibility of wiping if there is a breach in the obligatory place, as previously explained in Fatwa No.: 28931, and we concluded in that fatwa that what appears to be correct It is the opinion that it is permissible to wipe over the socks with holes if the breach is minor. There are also fatwas Noor ‘ala al-Darb by Sheikh Muhammad bin Saleh al-Uthaymeen, may God Almighty have mercy on him, in answer to a question that reads: Is it permissible to wipe over torn Khuff during ablution? He, may God Almighty have mercy on him, replied: The most correct opinion is that it is permissible to wipe over the holes in the Khuff and over the light, delicate socks, because there is no evidence for the requirement, that there should be no breach or rip in it, or that it should not be light. If this were a condition, it would be stated in the Qur’an, Sunnah, and the basic principle regarding the permissibility of wiping over socks, Ease is ease for the nation, so if we stipulate conditions for which there is no evidence from the Book of God and the Sunnah of His Messenger, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, Lightening has become heavy, so what is correct is that it is permissible to wipe over the sock as long as its name remains, whether it is light or heavy, with holes or intact. I finish.  And in the fatwas of Sheikh Ibn Baz, may God Almighty have mercy on him He wipes over the sock if it covers the place of washing, just as he wipes over the khuff. The difference between them is that the socks are made of leather, while the socks are made of cotton, It may be made of wool or it may be made of other materials, and the ruling on wiping over them is the same according to the most correct statements of scholars, and it has been proven in the Sunnahs on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, He wiped over the socks and sandals, and the socks are the socks, this was proven on the authority of a group of the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, that they wiped over their socks. I finish. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is it permissible to wipe over the upper socks, if I am wearing two socks on top of each other, and the under one is shorter than the ankles? There is nothing wrong with wiping over the above one if the conditions for wiping over the socks are met, such as covering the feet and wearing them in a state of purity, even if Al-Tahtani does not cover the subject of the obligation. whoever performs ablution and wears khuff or socks, then puts on other khuff over them before the event, may wipe over the second khuff. Q: Is it permissible for me to wipe over the drink if I perform ablution, then apply ointment to the heels of my feet to treat cracks, then wear a plastic bag on my feet? To preserve the paint, then I put the socks on top of the plastic bag? After wiping the drink, it is permissible using the methods mentioned above    It is permissible for you to wipe over your drink, even if you are wearing the plastic bag you mentioned. Al-Hattab said in Mawahib Al-Jalil The same applies if he wears socks under the Khuff, or wraps wraps around his legs, or one of them, then puts on the slippers over them. It is permissible for him to wipe.  In Al-Adawi’s footnote to Al-Kharshi Al-Maliki: As for the barrier that is on the man under the khuff, whether clay or something else; It does no harm; Because what is meant is wiping over the socks directly, and that will happen.  Q: If my leg moves a little inside the sock, is it permissible to wipe? If the socks are long, and the upper part of them falls, then part of the leg is exposed, but this part is above the ankles. Is it permissible? The sock is not required to be attached to the foot, and what you mentioned about your foot moving slightly in the sock does not prevent you from wiping over it, if it is possible to continue walking with it. Al-Mawaq Al-Maliki said in Al-Taj and Al-Ikleel: From Al-Mudawwana: If the shoe is wide and the heel goes away and extends to the leg, He goes around the foot, except that the foot is as it is in the khuff, so there is nothing wrong with it. Al-Dardir said in Al-Sharh Al-Kabeer: (So he should not wipe) with the construction of the object (wide) and the foot or most of it does not rest in it because it is not possible to continue walking. In Al-Tahtheeb, according to the Shafi’i school of thought: Likewise, it is not permissible to wear wide khuff that do not fit the foot nor is it narrow that cannot be walked on, even if it is narrow and widens by passing through it - it is permissible. It is permissible to wipe over a pair of sandals with a wide mouth and the foot can be seen on its soles.  The khuff must cover the ankles. therefore, if the shoe is long, Part of it fell off, but what remained was to cover the ankles, whatever is below them does not affect the permissibility of wiping. See Fatwa: 312910. It is not a condition for wiping over the khuff to see drops of water on them. Rather, it is sufficient to dip the hand in the water and run it over it, as wiping is based on dilution. It was stated in Al-Sharh Al-Mumti’ by Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen: The difference between wiping and washing is that wiping does not require running water, rather it is sufficient to dip his hand in the water.
