beautiful and lovely heart

The most important thing in our life is the purification of our heart. In Islam, Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that you may give thanks purifiers. The Holy Prophet also said that religion is founded on cleanliness and the cleanliness is the key to prayer, and cleanliness is one half of belief. We as a Muslims need to have a cleanliness heart to prove to the other religion that Islam is the best way of life.
In Islam, Purity has got four stages, which is the first stage is the purification of the external organs from excrements and filth. The second stage is the purification of the bodily organs from sins and faults. The third stage is the purification of the heart from evil traits and evil vices. The fourth stage is the purification of the inner self from everything except God. This is the stage of the Prophets and the saints. We as a Muslims should practice these four stages in our life to make sure the beautiful of the heart and full of cleanliness belong to us.

Physical purity means cleanliness of the body, clothing and environment. According to the rules of Islam, Muslims should keep their bodies and clothing clean from any impurities, especially the body wastes of humans and animals. Islam insists on the use of clean water to cleanse the body of impurities, and only when water is not available can a person use other things. Even the clothing should be perfectly clean from any drop of urine, speck of feces, or seminal discharge. For that reason, Muslim bathrooms have a source of running water or pitchers of water next to the toilet. It is very important because as a Muslims, they need to perform a salah.

Salah is the name for the obligatory prayers which are performed five times a day, and are a direct link between the worshipper and God with no earthly intermediaries. A prayer takes a few minutes to perform. Salah is the ritual prayer that the Muslims need to execute in their live as one of the way to express their thankful to ALLAH for all the given in their life.

Salah is also one of the things that can give the cleanliness and the purity of the heart. It can clean our heart from the bad feeling for other people. Other than that, with salah, Muslims can prayer requires physical acts that are healthy for the body. It also organizes one’s time during the day and regularizes one’s entire life. Salah will build our belief and relationship between us and our creation become stronger. Besides that, salah also can build a positive reaction between us and other Muslims in order to gain a purity heart and positive thinking among us.
As a conclusion, it’s not easy to gain a beautiful and lovely heart, but it’s also not hard to gain it if we practice our daily life in Islam way. As I mentioned just now, Islam is the best way to practice in our life. There were many benefits that we can gain from Islam. One of that such as the topic that has been discussed which is the cleanliness, and for the specific thing the cleanliness for the heart. It is very important to gain a beautiful heart in order to live our life.
