Islam Teaches Hygiene Like No Other Religion

Islam Teaches Hygiene Like No Other Religion

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“A time limit was set for us regarding: trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, plucking the armpit hair, and shaving the pubic hair — not to leave any of them for more than forty nights.”

[Sahih Muslim]

This isn’t just a personal habit — it’s a command rooted in divine wisdom.

SubḥānAllāh! Over 1400 years ago, Islam laid down precise personal grooming rules — long before modern hygiene standards were ever discovered.

Why? Because:

• Cleanliness is half of faith

  
  

• It protects from infections and foul smells

  
  

• It maintains human dignity

  
  

• It nurtures physical and spiritual purity

Yet today, in the age of hot showers and endless hygiene products — how many of us delay or even neglect these prophetic routines?

Neglecting this Sunnah not only harms the body — it dishonors a command of the Prophet ﷺ.

Mark your calendar. Don’t let forty nights pass without checking your fitrah.

These small acts may seem minor — but they are loved by Allāh.

May Allāh make us people who honor both the outward and inward purity.
