Holy Is Half the Faith (1)

By: Ibn Tiangfei

Islam invites all his people to always purification (thaharah), both physically and holy scriptures in mind. Allah says,
"Truly Allah loves those who repent, and loves those who purify themselves." (Surat al-Baqara: 222).
The Prophet SAW said,
"Holy half of faith." (Narrated by Muslim).

Islam is a religion of chastity. Therefore, Allah made the sanctity (thaharah) that perfectly legal conditions to be one of prayer. Like the words of the Prophet SAW,
"There is no holy prayer acceptable to God." (Narrated by Muslim).



Even as it is very importance of purification, the scholars put the chapter on purification (thaharah) ranked in the forefront of their books of fiqh.

Thaharah by language means clean, pure. Meanwhile, according to sharia law is to eliminate hadats or unclean. Tools for purification of water, soil (dust), and stone. While the law of purification of hadats and unclean is mandatory.

A Muslim who will perform the prayers of worship, he must purify himself first. One form of purification (thaharah) according to sharia in Islam is the ablution. Ablution hadats serves to eliminate small. Like: urination, defecation, and fart (exhaust air). In addition to its small hadats, someone who will pray, but he was fast asleep, then he must perform ablution again.
If water used is not sufficient to perform ablution (purification) is perfect or even in a condition not identified a source of water in a dry place, then the Islamic shariah in order to perform thaharah ma'nawi, with tayamum.

Because the real Islam is a religion of ease. For Allah SWT always wants convenience to each of His servants. This is according to the word of Allah SWT,
"And He never makes for you in this religion a
narrowness ". (Surat al-Hajj: 78).
"Allah intends for you ease, and does not want trouble
you ". (QS: Al-Baqara: 185).
"So fear Allah and hear according kesanggupanmu
and obey ". (Surah Taghabun: 16).
Rasulullah SAW said,
"Verily this religion is easy".
"If I tell you with some business then do it
as much as you guys. "

Some postulate disyariatkannya ablution before prayer pilgrimage:
Word of God Almighty,
"O ye who believe, if you want to pray, wash your faces and your hands up to elbow, and Rub your heads and (wash) your feet to the ankles." (Surat al-Ma'idah: 6).
Narrated by Abu Hurairah ra that Rasulullah SAW said,
"God does not accept the prayer of one of you if he berhadats until he perform ablution." (Reported by: Syaikhani, Abu Dawud, and Tirmidhi).

Primacy Ablution:
From Abdullah al-Shunabihi ra, that the Prophet SAW said,
"If a servant of ablution, as she rinsed her mouth, out came his mistakes from his mouth. When he was cleaning the nose, out his mistakes from his nose. When he was washing face, get out his mistakes from his face to come out from the edge of his eyelids. When she wash hands, get out his mistakes from his hands to get out from under the nails his hand. When he rubbed his head, his mistakes out of his head to both ears. When he washed his legs, get out his mistakes from his feet to get out from under her toenails. Then, went to the mosque and his prayer as an additional reward. " (Reported by: Malik, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, and al-Hakim).
Nu'aim al-Mujmir radi 'anhu said, "I ride with Abu Hurairah to the top of the mosque. He perform ablution and said,' I've heard the Prophet said," Verily my Ummah on the Day of Judgement will be called in a state of brilliant white of the former ablution . Whoever is able to widen its white, then do it about it. "(Narrated by Bukhari).

To be continued Insha Allah.
