The Importance of Ghusl & how to Perform it - Majed Mahmoud

in this session we will talk about the cleansing of the body the cleaning of the body from the minor impurities and the major impurities and i'll explain inshaallah we will talk about cleaning from when using the toilet to cleaning in terms of having a shower according to the teachings of the prophet some may wonder like what in the world does this have to do with the 10 groups that allah says he loves them in the quran yes in the quran allah subhanahu wa talks about he loves at tawabin those who repent those who purify their hearts from sin but he also said that he loves those who purify their bodies the external part it's not just the internal brothers and sisters we need to take care of ourselves inside and out and there's nothing to be shy about brothers and sisters nothing to be embarrassed one time a man from the disbelievers and mushrikeen he went to salman al-fatiha and he says he says does your companion he teaches you even how to use the toilet he said yes salman was not shy he wasn't embarrassed that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam taught to the um men and women how to clean themselves when they use the bathroom and so on he says nam he was proud there was of dignity nothing wrong with that then he gave him three adab and etiquettes of using the bathroom which we will touch on in sha allah so we are proud of that and there's nothing to be shy about now what makes this session different than all ten sessions is that in this one we will talk about two groups not one we spoke about the justin fair we spoke about the religious people the pious who spoke about being those who repent but here i'll speak about two groups both come from the same word what are they in two ayat number one allah says those who purify themselves and in the other ayah allah says they sound very similar so these are two different groups but they both unfold under the same word of purity of tahara now i know it's a bit technical but we have to appreciate this allah subhanahu wa saying i love these people and i pray to allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that this session genuinely speaking that next time we go to do russo we clean ourselves and so on we don't just do it because it's a prerequisite for my salah to be accepted and so on but no i want to be able to do it knowing that allah will love me if i clean myself properly allah will love me if i do the etiquettes that rasulullah has taught just something interesting i found because i may wonder what's possibly the difference between them some have said that is more of specified times and is in regards to certain acts of worship such as salah making tawaf which is through wudu russell shower so there's something that is associated to an act of worship night type with this being said brothers and sisters i want to make something very clear yes some of you may say brother i read this ayah before and tafsir that allah he loves and some scholars they said it's not just the cleaning of the body but also the spiritual side and the inside of our hearts that's true but it also includes the external and allah subhanahu wa tala knows best and by the way throughout the quran when you go through the word tahara purity it can mean multiple meanings and one of them to share with you is purifying ourselves from our sins nam purify them from their sins and shortcomings and so on as the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam what did he say that charity extinguishes sins the way water extinguishes fire right and rasulullah and hopefully this will it be elevated from you may you be this means of purification of what of sins because we know from the prophet any hardship we go through pain no matter how small no matter how big it purifies us from our sins may allah purify us now for the context of our session these two groups we will talk about two things a tahara purity from al-hadath the minor impurity which is for example the human excrements right from urine theses and so on and there's nothing to be embarrassed about our religion as we just saw from al-fatiha then you have al-hadath the major impurity which is from what for example menstruation an intimate relation between the spouses and so on bismillah what i will address first the ayah that touches on the minor impurity as an example are you ready inshaallah once i'm done with that i will go to the other ayah that addresses the major impurities may allah grant us success don't ever pray in that masjid so there's a masjid that was built masjid yes it's a masjid but was built by the munafir king the hypocrites and it was near masjid proba masjid which we know in medina right or around the the limits of the city of medina then allah tells prophet muhammad certainly a masjid founded on taqwa righteousness from the first day what message is that may allah allow us to pray in this beautiful masjid all right there's a special reward for that so whoever prays in the message that was established from the first day from the get-go upon righteousness is more worthy for you to pray on are you ready for the coming part in that message that goers to this masjid there are men who love to be purified and allah loves allah will honor allah will elevate allah will support those who purify themselves all right we need to understand what does it mean that these people the goers to the masjid used to purify themselves we have a hadith to make us understand this he says they used to clean themselves after you know the human uh experiments as we mentioned from urine feces and so on they used to wash themselves with water and allah loved that from them because brothers and sisters you have to realize something the use of water especially at that time it's it's not something you just open at tap water and it's all readily available it requires work there's not much water and these people were able to afford some to be able to clean themselves with it may allah allow you and i to be able to benefit from the blessings that we have i mean so here allah praise them for the usage of water while cleaning themselves now here people will say is it that big of a deal oh you bet it's a big of a deal check about this check this out while he was passing by two graves people are dead people are guys with me they are dead then he says the two people in these two graves are being punished for something that is not major as in what as in they did not think it was a big deal but it's a big deal it's a major thing subhanallah for someone people ask how do i know something is a major sin or a minor sin if the punishment goes from dunya to grave to achira that's a sign it's a major sin what's the story of these two graves what was the sin that they did one of them used to walk or know around people intermingle with others gossiping may allah protect us from gossip in another narration back biting you see how disastrous that is we want to enjoy our gathering for one two minutes but we pay the fee for that may allah protect us and forgive us there's no joy in that as for the second grave okay that man that woman used to be careless careless towards when they use the bathroom watch out in terms of careless who sees them the doors widely open doesn't matter who cares we're all guys what are you talking about right and also from the concept of cleanliness as in when they urinate or they use the bathroom they don't take care of the fact that making sure it doesn't come on their clothes doesn't come on the rest of their body they were not watchful and if it does happen and come on their body and so on and their clothes they don't care towards cleaning them so not cleaning oneself properly after using the bathroom caused that individual to be punished in the grave brothers and sisters and we have to realize something we cannot knowingly know that when i go pray i have najasa on me filth because that would cause me not to have my salah accepted may allah protect us and grant us wisdom i mean then the prophet salallahu also said another hadith just to show you i'm showing you just how serious this case is but i don't want you to be paranoid all right and i'll be extreme no i'm struggling to make sure that it's a serious case it's worth to take a whole session and talk about these two groups it makes you be aware why allah said i love this these people i love them do you know what the prophet said beware of smearing yourself when you you know urinating watch out why the majority of the punishment in the grave is because people not caring how they utilize the bathroom the majority of the punishment in the grave this is authentic narration in swahili so this is a matter that we have to take seriously and we emphasize with all honesty and respect we emphasize very much in the society because here you clearly can see people and happens around the world i understand but and the fact of carelessness as you know what they use the bathroom and they head right out many do not even wash their hands don't even clean themselves properly and so on because of their culture they don't see it's a big deal whatever but in islam it's a serious deal we go from allah loving us to going from we being punished all punished all the way to the grave let's go to salman and pharisee to teach us some etiquette from the prophet salallahu when he was being mocked by the disbelievers oh islam your prophet teaches you everything even how to clean yourself when you use the bathroom he says and look to what he said the etiquette when we use the bathroom is we don't use the bathroom while facing the direction of where we pray they go at a different angle when they want to use the bathroom and so on so brother what if what if the way my house is built the toilet faces exactly like the qibla and you do your best on top and this is not within your hands and allah will not hold you accountable may allah allow us to follow the sunnah and not be directly facing the qibla number two salman teaches us and the kuffar at that time and when we wanna when we wanna when we wanna clean our bodies we don't use our right hand okay we do not use our right hand we use our left hand when we clean ourselves that's the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and to not wipe ourselves with less than three stones or rocks at that time that was the tools the the the rocks or the stones to clean themselves but the main thing here is the number three not to have less than three wipes when we clean ourselves this is our deen we're proud may allah make us strong like salman al-faris and you know a question may come okay brother i'm going to do my best to start using my left hand and insha allah i'll make sure i clean myself pretty well but i have a question for you okay what's the question why if i'm using the bathroom and some of the urine or so comes on my clothes okay it kind of smears a little bit on my clothes what should i do should i wash my entire clothes and so on we learned from our mashaikhan scholars that if it touches a certain part of your clothing you just wash that area you don't have to wash the entire cloth if you wish to change your clothing put it in the laundry and wash it all up no problem inshaallah but it is fine if you just wash that area where that urine fell may allah protect us and purify us inside and out i mean and once again the point of this session is not to make us very extreme things happen right someone uses the bathroom he urinates or she urinates and then what they clean themselves well but then afterwards it's natural as a human body a drop or two may fall into our under clothing that is fine and allah knows best may allah protect us and for example if someone did not know they had the najasah before salah and they entered into salah and they prayed then they found out that there's najasah that should be fine sha allah they don't have to repeat the salah and the example that was uralized is what rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam took off his shoes when he was notified by jibril that there was najas in it did not tell the prophet to repeat the salah entirely and allah knows best so this is for all ages youngsters and elders we take it serious inshallah to be able to clean ourselves may allah grant us wisdom this was the minor impurity al-hadath now let's move to the second ayah what's the second ayah the one about which kind of refers to the major impurities all right bismillah allah says in the quran they ask you prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam about menstruation the woman's cycle and based on the reason of revelation as i mentioned in a previous session the reason of this revelation is what happened with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and the companions about this matter so rasulullah when he was asked about approaching the spouse while she was in that situation administration he taught us what do everything towards the spouse everything is fine to eat together be in the same room same house even the prophet saws he put his head on the lap of aisha while she was in that cycle and he even read quran everything is fine but he said do not be intimate do not have intimacy so allah says that menstruation is a harm it's a test of hardship so avoid approaching the spouse in intimacy during that time do not come close in terms of intimacy until they are purified now here it is and once they become purified okay then approach them the way allah specified the way it is then look at this beautiful ending allah loves those who repent we spoke about it in the previous session we gave the example of those who made the sin of approaching the spouse while they were in that cycle that was haram but still you can make tawba to allah but what we did not speak in detail was the second part and allah loves those who purify themselves one of the messiah he says it very nicely he said allah said in this ayah two groups he loves those who repent those who purify themselves internally and then allah loves those who purify themselves externally their body and that is our deen that we're proud of we want to be clean inside and out may allah purify us now what does it mean allah loves all right when it comes here the matter of which is the shower which is a requirement from al-hadath such as we said intimacy end of menstruation and so on all right he was asked by a sister how one should perform from the menstruation and from the janaba and the after the intimacy and allah says something very interesting and powerful she said yeah and what great woman are the women of the ansar the residents of medina the ones who gave the support to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and those who emigrated from mecca to medina and yet their shyness and modesty was never a barrier for them to educate themselves towards the deen so we have to make it very clear here it is not an acceptable excuse in the sight of allah someone to say i was shy to ask about this knowing this thing is a prerequisite for your salah to be accepted this thing is a major part of our deen so if we don't know we need to ask we know the details and this is what the sister have said but let me before i share with you the steps and so on something very powerful about this ayah some of the said allah said allah loves those who purify themselves so some of them said alhamdulillah allah did not say allah loves the women who purify themselves because then the men would have not been honored to be in that group that are loved by allah for purifying themselves so they're we are grateful that allah says not specifying a gender but in that way is general alhamdulillah both men and women to benefit from this all right now and as i mentioned in earlier this session it's a somewhat technical somewhat aspect but you know a jurisprudence of our deen but this is part of our deen you know not everything has to be like you leave the session like spiritually so high yes we have to do that alhamdulillah 100 but we have to also know our deen from the other aspects like the one that we're talking about may allah bless you and educate us beneficial knowledge when it comes to russo showering there is the bare minimum okay there is the bare minimum and there is the sun away okay what do you mean the birmingham is not so no it's as in like yeah it's it's permissible it uh you you fulfilled the russo yes the bare minimum but there's other steps that are voluntary we learn from the prophet all right what happened here rasulullah he was asked by this wonderful sister her name is asma as mao bintu shekalin as some scholars have said and how to purify one from the menstruation and here in sha allah i want to first tell you not the details of this hadith i want to go and tell you insha allah the bare minimum first what's the bare minimum for both menstruation janaba russell in general it's the same to have the intention okay you're going to go inshaallah wash yourself to have the intention this is the russo from that major impurity that is that took place then run the water over the entire body head to toe okay so number one the intention number two run the water across the entire body and there's something many people forget which is rinsing the mouth and nose that is taken as part of the external so don't forget these two allah bless you rinsing the mouth and the nose no brother that's internal to the body that's not exterior no remember when you make wudu when you make wudu does the water go in your mouth yes we know a food or a drink enters the body okay the stomach that's when you kind of lose your fasting correct so you have to make sure that remember the mouth no you're still out there a part of the body when you shower yourself head to toe and very important emphasis by the prophet is that water should reach the scalp okay the scalp the water has to reach it the roots of the hair is very important we don't want to do the russo where we just get some water and wipe over our hair no the water needs to reach the roots may allah grant us okay so that was the bare minimum okay and just to make it clear as well this is educational is that when we do the russo be sure that you cover when the water runs through your body the areas that may not easily have the water come to it especially that many of us when we shower okay it doesn't right away the water comes under our armpits right so you may have to scrub over your your arm here and if someone for example you know uh overweight or so and their stomach can you know it's educational as i mentioned has like layers and so on make sure that the water goes through your body as much as you basically uh possibly can from head to toe as mentioned by your brother tell me the sunnah tell me the extra steps the way rasool allah said in one of the hadith and how he perhaps explained it even to that sister and other narrations as well you go and have the intention just like the bare minimum you have the intention to have the rusu and then you say bismillah and then we wash our hands three times then the prophet salallahu he would then wash his private part with his left hand okay after he does that he has his hands cleaned before continuing so remember intention bismillah washing the hands right said that right washing the hand three times then washing the private part with the left hand after that he washes his hands again out cleans his hands to be specific and i'll mention the hadith for you just for reference he used to put his hands on some sand to kind of wipe out whatever might have came from while cleaning the private part our mashiach they teach us you know we don't need to use the sand or the wall for example now you have ceramics and so on you're able to use a soap to clean and wash your hands because now you're about to continue your also would teach us to make a full wudu just like how one does for salah afterwards brings water onto his body starting with the head and you go thoroughly through the hair make sure as i said the scalp and the roots this is even with the bare minimum okay but he starts with the head and then he goes through the rest of the body the sunnah as i mentioned is to rub over his body so that there's a part if there's no water reached it you make sure underarm you know what the layers of the stomach and so on everything is cleaned may allah grant us wisdom and ability to fulfill the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and once he was done allah that aspect and one of the athkar that we were taught from our is even the avika for example of shadow allah as one of them this was the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and just one technical side of things some sisters may ask if i had braids right do i untie it or do i keep it according to what we learned if it was the janaba as the major impurity after for example intimacy and so on then there's no need to undo the brains but make sure once again i know it's emphasized because rasool allah emphasized that that the water comes to the roots but after menstruation the recommendation is to undo the braids for that type of major impurity and allah knows best and definitely there might be difference of opinion with these matters and allah grant us wisdom and before i end inshallah and conclude in in this session brothers and sisters i want to be when you go to the bathroom you want to have rusol you want to clean yourselves remember what allah said allah he says that he loves those who purify themselves and when allah says that allah knows it's difficult sometimes yes it's difficult some people have to do it early in the morning because they had a dream a wet dream and then they have to now take a shower it's difficult and then you remember the reward of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala allah will love those who purify themselves so approach in that angle don't just approach as it's a prerequisite for me to make will do for me to make to perform my salah no it's don't see it just a as a burden but see it as an opportunity to gain the reward of allah especially with our youngsters that might be watching right they rush to that bathroom okay you want to rush to the bathroom but don't rush in the bathroom you're going to rush to the bathroom that's one thing but don't rush in the bathroom just make sure you do things right may allah grant us wisdom and if you ever do a mistake don't be shy to clean it yourself or talk to mom and dad to help you clean it this is part of our deen and i guarantee you insha allah inshaallah your mom and dad will be very proud with you lastly brothers and sisters just remember purity which includes wudu in it is half of our faith that's how important it is to be clean to be pure may allah grant us wisdom amin so with that being said i am done with the session jazak mallahu khairan
