Muhammad gave special attention to cleanliness and personal hygiene in respect to faith. Dental Hygiene The Prophet would always brush his teeth before and after bed using a part of a fruitless yet fragrant branch called arak. This small wooden branch was used, and is still used today, as a toothbrush. “The Miswak (tooth-stick) cleanses and purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord.” [An-Nasa’i] Eat In Moderation Prophet Muhammad stressed the practice of eating less to prevent sickness and diseases, which is now supported by doctors today. Part of the etiquette of eating is to be moderate in eating and not to fill the stomach. The most that is acceptable in this regard is for the Muslim to divide his stomach into three parts: one third for food, one third for drink and one third for air. MY HEALTH MY RESPONSIBILITY 2 1. Eat Slow It was narrated from the Prophet Muhammad was a strong advocate of eating slowly to help with the digestion process. It takes about 20 minutes for the body to tell our brain that we are full. Slow eating helps digest our food, because efficiently chewed food aids the digestion process and doesn’t require as much energy and churning in the stomach or intestine.

Today, science shows that when a person drinks water too much in a short period of time they can imbalance blood electrolyte levels and experience dizziness. Drink water slowly as it will help you absorb the fluid and get the most out of it. The Prophet states the following in a hadith: “The key to the prayer (salah) is cleanliness, its beginning is takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) and its ending is salam (salutation).” (Abu Dawud, Taharah, 31: Tirmidhi, Taharah, 39 Cleanliness is the precondition of many worshipping like reading quran and praying salah; it is also the indispensable condition of health and hygiene. Besides, it makes the sustenance increase. The following is stated in a hadith: “Keep cleaning so that your sustenance will increase...”. “Islam is clean. Therefore, you should keep yourselves clean, too. Only the clean people can enter Paradise.” (Hadith) The prophet told us that those who perform regular abulution will have those parts of the body glow on the day of judgement. “The Miswak (tooth-stick) cleanses and purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord.” [An-Nasa’i] Hadith an Ayah about health BENEFITS OF SALAH The Prophet recommended adequate sleep. He never deprived himself of sleep nor overslept. He also advised and practiced to sleep at the early part of the night, and to wake up early in the morning.

Salat is one of the five fundamental requirements that a Muslim is obligated to perform.
