Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Absolutely sorry for the long absence from updating this blog. Reason being that I had been unwell due to complications from my Diabetes and Hypertension ailments for quite some time.
Nevertheless, I am back and Insya Allah, will do my best to post new articles here that might be of benefit to you, dear readers.
We are all living in these End Times where the world has been facing the Coronavirus @ Covid-19 pandemic and more than a 100K lives have been lost.
As a result of this pandemic, countries around the world have placed Movement Control Orders (MCO) on their population in an attempt to break off the contamination chain between those who tested positive and reduce the number of people getting infected.
If one is to take a look at our Ministry of Health which has come out with the guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures to curtail the spreading of the Coronavirus, you'd see that the measures being proposed are just what we Muslims have been enjoined to carry out in our daily lives.
We take wudhu' @ ablution at least 5 times a day before we perform our solat @ prayers.
Islam requires us to purify ourselves before performing our compulsory solats 5 times a day. We have to be clean, not only hygienically but also make sure that we are wearing clothing free of impurities.
It is important for every Muslim, male or female to wash oneself after relieving ourselves whether when we have passed out urine or passed motion. We are required to thoroughly cleanse our genitals and our anal areas with water, soap and dry up properly with either toilet paper or a clean towel.
Listen to what is taught in the video above and realize that as Muslims, we are to be absolutely clean and be pure from filth when we stand in worship before Allah. After taking our ablution, we have to maintain that ablution by making sure that we have not nullified that state of ablution by sure that none of the listed matters has not taken place.
So, all these measures that we take in performing and maintaining our state of cleanliness after having taken our wudhu' @ ablution are in reality so important to keep ourselves clean at all times.
Just take a look at what the Medical Doctors advice us in order to break the cycle of contamination from the Covid-19 virus.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19:

To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
- Stay home if you feel unwell.
- If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention. Call in advance.
- Follow the directions of your local health authority.
- Avoiding unneeded visits to medical facilities allows healthcare systems to operate more effectively, therefore protecting you and others.
Islam already prohibits us from freely touching or coming into physical contact with those who are not our mahram. Our faith emphasises the importance of not being careless when it comes to matters concerning hygiene and spiritual, emotional as well as physical wellbeing.
This is the beauty and advantage of following Islamic teachings revealed to us Mankind as our Complete Way of Life. Those who learn in depth about what Islam asks of us and teaches us as to how we should be, will realize that if we strive to be a true and proper Muslim, we will achieve all that we aspire to be and to receive. Insya Allah.
