The Beautiful Sunnah Of Siwak

THE BEAUTIFUL SUNNAH OF SIWAK<br><br>Have you ever sat next to someone in the mosque and struggled to focus not because of noise or movement, but because of a strong odour from the mouth' <br><br>Now imagine youre the one others silently struggle with.<br><br>Many people today wake up and go straight to the mosque without brushing their teeth, or they eat meals with strong smells like amala and ogufe and head back to the masjid. Islam, however, teaches us something better: the Sunnah of Siwak (miswak).<br><br>The Prophetsaid:<br><br>&quot;Were it not that I might overburden my ummah (community), I would have ordered them to use the siwak for every prayer.&quot;<br>(Sahih al-Bukhari 887, Sahih Muslim 252)<br><br><br>This shows how much the Prophetemphasized oral hygiene not just for cleanliness, but to honor our meeting with Allah.<br><br>When we stand in prayer, we should be at our best : clean body, clean clothes, and a clean mouth. Siwak isnt just an old tradition; its a beloved act of worship that reflects the beauty of our religion.<br><br>Using siwak before going to the mosque removes bad breath and makes you more confident in prayer. It also earns reward, because it is an act the Prophetpracticed consistently.<br><br>Lets ask ourselves: Would I like to be near someone with bad breath in worship' If not, why should I put others through that'<br><br>Use siwak regularly, especially before salah and after eating.<br><br>Keep one in your pocket or bag if possible.<br><br>Teach your kids this Sunnah and make it a family habit.<br><br>If you dont have access to siwak, brush your teeth before prayer.<br><br><br>The Prophetloved cleanliness. Lets honor that love and spread it.<br><br>Tell others, revive a Sunnah, and earn the reward.<br><br>May Allah beautify us inwardly and outwardly.<br>Ameen.
