Morning Reminder. Friday 21st/22nd day of Muharram. HOW GHUSL (ISLAMIC PURIFICATION) IS PERFORMED. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. It is highly recommended to perform this ghusul before going for the weekly jumuat. The same ghusul is performed when going for Eid Prayers, Women perform the same after their monthly cycle, after child birth etc. First, Intend by heart to perform ghusl - and say Bismillah. Wash both hands up to the wrists making sure they are clean from any food substances like pepper else you may end up hurting yourself. Wash your private parts properly so that you dont touch them again when you start the ghusul(Istinja). Perform wudhu as usual, except that the washing of feet can be delayed until later when the rest of the body is washed. Pour water over the head three times if using hands or cup just to make sure your hair is much wet to the skull, massaging the hair to allow the water to reach its roots. Pour water liberally over the entire body, starting with the right side and then the left, ensuring that no part of the body is left untouched by water, including armpits, inside the earlobes, inside the navel, between fingers and toes etc. making sure they are properly washed by rubbing with your hands not just pouring. NOTE: A woman performs ghusl just as the man does, except that if she has plaited hair, she need not undo it. She only needs to throw three handfuls of water over her head or more to wet their plaited her to the skull. After completing the ghusl a person should recite this supplication which is same to the supplication after wudoo, Ablution. Ash-hadu an laa ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu, laa shareeka lah, wa ash-hadu anna muhammadan a’abduhu warasooluhu. Allahummaj ‘alni, minuthawaabeenawaj’alnee, minal mutathahireen.Meaning O Allah, make me of those who return to You often in repentance and make me of those who remain clean and pure This should be recited outside the bathroom if the bathroom is combined with toilet and shouldnt be loud. Remember to recite suurantul Kahf, Quran chapter 18 as recommended by the Prophet. Remember me and my family in your Dua please. May Allah answer our dua as we ask Allah to have mercy on all Muslims under any oppression and in any difficulties. May Allah grant us success over our evil deeds and aid us to overcome our disobedience to Allah. Aameen.
