Brief explanation:

The mosque is a good place and also where the people are good, therefore he should be purified from foul odors and vice versa continues diwangikan with fragrant odors. It is far more mainstream and more important than decorating-decorate and elevate the mosque, because the two deeds is not the guidance of the Prophet-alaihishshalatu yours respectfully.

So this hadeeth shows the ban firmly entered the mosque to anyone who brings bad smell, both in body and in her mouth. Why because the angels will feel disturbed as human beings therefore also disturbed by it. Therefore he who smells his body, then he should shower first or at least wear perfumes that can eliminate the smells his body before he went to the mosque. Similarly, people who mouth odor by eating a raw onion-bawangan (not cooked / fried) or been drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes out and the like that cause malodorous mouth, then he should first remove the smell of her mouth before going to the mosque. If not then he has fallen into the prohibition of the Prophet-alaihishshalatu yours respectfully-that is the hadeeth of Ibn 'Umar, and Jabir above.

Conversely Islam mosque menuntunkan for always cleared of all the things that can disturb kekhusyuan worship and perfume the mosque with air freshener or by burning bukhur (fragrant wood smoke.)

Maintain peace of people who worship which is the core of the construction of mosques, including beyond the limit and therefore mubazzir when the mosque was built or renovated decorated or not for this purpose. Truly yours respectfully alaihishshalatu-Prophet has said raise terlarangnya mosque because it is an act of infidels. What is meant by elevating the mosque here is not to build in 2 floors or more, because it is sometimes necessary to accommodate the pilgrims. But that meant in this prohibition is to raise the roof of the mosque without a purpose, as the high roofs of the church. Also included in this prohibition is to decorate mosques, garnished with proceedings that are not beneficial and even tended to interfere with people who pray, for example by writing calligraphy on the wall or a patterned tiles laid in front of or below (on mat) the person who prays, who can unsettle person who prays. And so on.

Among the law relating to the mosque is, should the Muslims build a mosque for each settlement. Which aims to turn the settlement over the syiar Islam and to facilitate the Muslims in worship to Allaah. And they should not build two or more mosques within a settlement except with the permission of the government and has reason syar'i in its development. Because it Allaah and His Messenger, denounced the construction of mosques which aims only to emulate the other mosques, and also because it will cause divisions among the Muslims and mempersedikit number of pilgrims at the first mosque.

Precisely enthused

Hakimul reveal the question arises, why Islam that tends to appear with a negative face (radical destructive) actually desirable or attractive "White British to Convert to Islam 'This phenomenon could be caused by several things.

According Hakimul Brett, who was doing his research Islamifikasi S3 in the UK and the West, first, Western principles that emphasize the creativity and freedom of individual thought enables individuals in the UK to learn (study) is more deeply about Islam.

The information is very knowledgeable about Islam could be gained through the Internet, says lecturer sosialogi GMU, adding moreover, discourse on Islam and Muslim communities become subject studies and research are increasingly in demand at college. When Islam reviewed by an individual within the framework of academic / intellectual, then in accordance with the principles of science (scientific Western) have access to diverse sources of thought (School of thoughts) and the schools are diverse (pros and cons).

This interpretation allows the appearance of wealth, wisdom (wisdom), and humanity in Islam. Nonradikal Islam, peace (peaceful), moderate and pluralist Western societies increasingly attract attention, says co-founder of ICMI MASIKA Yogyakarta, and chairman of the Indonesian Moslem Association in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, UK.

The tendency of interest in nonviolence and moderate Islam that can be seen for example in the discourse of dialogue multi (multi-faiths dialogue) as well as efforts to "mainstream" (mainstreaming) of non-Islamic Middle East. He said in this context, Indonesian to be excellent.

'The face of moderate Islam in Indonesia, tolerance and gender conscious, such as a "topic" principal appointed by former Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. President Barack Obama in their visit to Indonesia,' said Hakimul Brett, who won the Masters in Politics and Social Policy at the University of Nottingham, England.

As part of the Indonesian Muslim community, has a great opportunity to make extraordinary expression of Indonesian Islam as a "mainstream" or an alternative to the expression of the Middle East Islam that Islam is the one in relation to the Qur'an, but its expression varies in the Middle East , India, Pakistan and Indonesia. In addition to the publicity and the Islamic discourse is strengthened at the global level, other factors also determine the increase in conversion to Islam among White British is the increasing number of Muslim immigrants in the UK as from Pakistan, Turkey, Bangladesh, Middle East, and Asia such as Indonesia and Malaysia.

The number of Muslim immigrants are making symbols of Islam is widespread and may be found in various parts of the city. For example, Butcher Halal or kosher meat, kosher pizza, and so forth as many women on the street wearing a hijab.

The term "kosher" has become "iconic" a very effective publicity about Islam. Sales of kosher meat in supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, and Sainsburry, for example, making the British Agriculture Minister should explain to the public on the definition of meat halal or kosher meat. In its development, halal meat is not simply a matter of Islam, but also about a healthy diet Healthy meat / food, so Judge.

We have the largest Muslim community in northern Mozambique. Most of the adherents of Islam in that country is a congregation of several congregations, especially Qadiriyah and Syadziliyah.

Slowly but surely, the mosques stand on almost every city. At the heart of Maputo City - the capital of Mozambique - there had been three great mosque.

The three stood in the center of a very strategic. In small towns were easily found the mosque building.

Indeed, Islam in Mozambique has been rooted since the 10th century AD S Von Sicard in his article titled Islam in Mozambique: Some Historical and Cultural Perspectives disclose that fact.

According to him, Islam in Mozambique as a means of history back in the Middle Ages, namely the 10th century AD

"The historical record shows that the region of Mozambique has been known and very often visited by explorers and Muslim merchants," said Von Sicard. Entering the mid-15th century, the Sultanate of Muslim control of the area along the coast until it reaches the Zambezi. In the rapidly growing commercial area.

In 1505, the Portuguese came to Mozambique in order to colonize and exploit the natural resources that exist in the region. Previously, the people of India has found its way into the country.

The arrival of Portuguese to Mozambique has triggered the confrontation between Muslims and Christians in the region.

Muslims face tough times in the Portuguese colonial era. Throughout the period of Estado Novo (1926-1974), Roman Catholicism became the dominant religion, and even became the official religion, especially when the government and the church to establish an alliance. Discriminatory attitude towards the Islamic countries began to decrease when the outbreak of the Liberation War in Mozambique.

In fact, from that moment the country began to achieve religious. The goal, for Muslims not to join the pro liberation groups.

Entering the 18th century AD, the position of Islam in northern Mozambique was getting stronger. Muslims who follow orders through a network plays a major role in spreading the religion of Allah SWT. In fact, Muslims in the country was fighting for independence. Only in 1975, Mozambique could be separated from the shackles of colonialism.

Post-independence Muslims formed an organization that engages in politics. However, Muslim political movement in Mozambique was packed through various social programs. Difficulties and challenges faced by experienced and Muslims in Mozambique since 1987 began to decrease.

Since 1989 - when the socialist era ended, the Muslims can freely run his worship. The Muslim community has begun to establish a new mosque. Muslims are also eager to build a mosque on every corner of town and township. In fact, the price of building materials in the country's relatively expensive.

In addition, Mozambique Muslims also have their representatives in parliament. Mozambique is now also have an Islamic university in Nampula and has branches in Inhambane. Mozambique also active as a member of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC).

According to Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah rahimahullahu, jihad has four levels, namely:

1. Jihad against lust

2. Jihad against syaithan

3. Jihad against infidels and jihad against the hypocrites

4. Jihad against the despotic leaders, heretics and bad actors

The relationship between the pregnancy with jihad in the top four levels are as follows:

Women who are pregnant experience physical changes, especially in the abdominal area. In addition to the abdominal area, physical changes are also common in pregnant woman's body posture (posture fatter). Despite the fact that not all pregnant women experience changes in body posture to be fat.

Some things that cause the body posture of pregnant women get fat on them due to genetic factors (heredity), growth hormone and changes in lifestyle. Obese due to genetic factors usually occurs because one or both parents of the woman also has a fat physical. Genetic factors can not possibly be avoided by humans, because it is the destiny of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla and the man can not choose who should be born from the womb. Likewise, the issue of growth hormones that can not be avoided by pregnant women. Maybe things you can do is set the pattern of life of the man himself, such as diet, sleep patterns and others.

During pregnancy, the pregnant woman (who has the posture of both fat and thin) tend to change in terms of lifestyle. Especially in the diets. For example: if on ordinary days (when not pregnant) a woman accustomed to eating one plate at a time to eat, so when it is pregnant, she could eat two plates or more in one meal. Usually it is used as an excuse is a pregnant woman must be to feed two people (ie the pregnant women themselves and their fetuses), then the amount of food that enters the body should be doubled as well. Such attitudes can be categorized as an attitude of excessive, because, according to nutrition experts and health, food needs among non-pregnant women with pregnant women is a little different.

Thus, the excessive manner in terms of eating the food for pregnant women is because it is more dominated by the passions that are less controlled. And any that are less restrained carnality is coming from syaithan. Allah 'Azza wa Jalla dislike towards his people who have excessive lifestyle. Allah Almighty says,

"... And do not be exaggerated. For Allah loves not those who exaggerated." (Surat al-Anam: 141).

In addition to the excessive appetite, excessive anger lust sometimes are faced by pregnant women, especially if the pregnancy is quite old. This is caused by a pregnant woman increasingly difficult to move / migrate due to the greater size and weight of the fetus. Especially when coupled with various other complaints, such as headache, what foods if eaten was feeling and so forth.

If such conditions could faced by a Muslim woman with patience and sincere heart and be able to control the passions and just expect the pleasure of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla, God willing, will be a jihad Fii Sabilillah which gives a degree of faith and piety in Allah's abundant 'Azza wa Jalla. Amen.

One day, lord of Luqmanul Hakim once said to him, "Slaughter a sheep, then give me two sheep body parts were the best."

Then Luqman gave him the tongue and liver sheep.

After that, the master ordered him to slaughter the sheep again, and ordered him, "Put the two parts of the body was the worst sheep."

Then Luqman also throw the tongue and liver of sheep.

Found it, his master said, "I ordered you to give me two parts of the body the best sheep and then you give me the lamb tongue and heart! Next I ordered you to remove two parts of the body of sheep the worst, and you also get rid of it tongue and calf's liver. Why so? "

Luqman replied, "Because there is no body part that is better than both if both are good, and no part of her worst of both if both are bad. (Tafseer al-Qurtubi: 14/42, 140-141, Qashash Al-Qur'an: 198-199, az-Zuhd, Ahmad: page 65, Tafseer Ibn Katheer: 3 / 536).

There are about 60,000 Indian Muslims there.

To convert the building into the center of inheritance, several leading Indian Muslim leaders contacted for consultation, including Farihullah, president of Muslim Association, India United.

Muis support the request for the Preservation of Monuments Board for conversion from a place of worship for the use of community and environment. This application was approved in July this year.

Indian Muslim leaders, who come together to form a fundraising committee Nagore Dargah, anticipate that the inclusion of a commercial restaurant may not welcomed by some parties in the community. But they said they also realize it takes money to maintain the use of the center.

In addition to paying the renovation account, Banquet Holdings will pay to obtain the artifact and run daily operations.

During a press conference yesterday, Indian Muslim leaders said they hope the center will feature the story of Indian Muslims in Singapore.

Naseer Ghani, secretary of the fundraising committee has collected $ 165,000 said: 'Visitors can leave the center with the full experience, sight, smell and taste - the Muslim culture of India. "

Plans for the heritage center began in 1994 when a committee was formed to raise funds. While the majority of Indian Muslim leaders to support the movement, some are worried that the central legacy - including restaurants, may not be able to fully capture the religious traditions associated with the building.

"So if a commercial restaurant is on the inside, these side effects can be extraordinary," said Mohamed Taifoor, 51, a car dealer and former leader of the Mosque. 'This building is a place of respect. If you can not get respect, you lose value. "

Yesterday, Naseer, who is also a member of the board of the Federation of Muslim India, an umbrella organization for 15 groups of Indian-Muslims here, said the restaurant will only take 20 percent of floor area.

Indian Muslim food, along with promoting awareness of community habit.

Farihullah added: 'Nagore Dargah is an icon in India. Turn it into a heritage center to serve the purpose of education for the community. As for food - if the show Indian Muslim food, will also have educational value.

"So when people go there, not just any ordinary experience."

Banquet CEO Max Lim said: "We owe our success largely to our Muslim customers. This is something valuable to give back to society."

Primacy Ablution

From Abdullah al-Shunabihi ra, that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam 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).

From Abu Hurairah ra that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

"Will you show me that with God's deeds eliminate errors and uplift you?" The Companions replied, "Would you, O Messenger of Allah". He said, "(The practice is) complete ablution during dislikes, many steps towards the mosque, and waiting for the prayer after prayer. It is a struggle. It is a struggle. It is a struggle. " (Reported by: Malik, Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, and an-Nasa'i).

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).

Fardhu Ablution

Ablution has some fardhu / pillar that must be done. If one of fardhu / pillars are not done, then ablution becomes invalid according to sharia. According to Sheikh Sayyid Sabiq in his book 'Fiqh al-Sunnah al-Thaharah chapter', there are six fardhu ablution, namely:

1. Intention

Basically the intention is the desire to do an act for the sake of seeking the pleasure of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla by His law. Intention is a charity at heart, not into the tongue. Pronounce / say the intention is not in the sharia. Theorem of the intent is the hadeeth Omar r.a. that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

"Surely it depends on charitable deeds and real intentions of each person being paid according to what he intended." (Hadith narrated: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Ahmad).

2. Washing the face once

Its purpose is to drain the water to the entire surface of the face. While the restriction is from the top face of the forehead to chin and from the edge of one ear to ear the other side.

3. Wash both hands up to elbow

Elbow is the joint that separates between the forearm with upper arm. Siku is part of the body must be washed (wet), since this is always done by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam.

4. Wiping the head

Wiping means wetting. This can not be accomplished except with the movement of limbs that rub, rub with a rubbed. So, if you just put a hand or finger over the head (without friction), then this is not called a rub. There are several ways rubbed the head:

First, wipe all parts of the head.

From Abdullah bin Zaid: "That the Prophet PBUH. rubbed his head with both hands, ie both hands pulled from the front to back, starting from the front of his head, pulled toward the shoulder, then brought back to where it began earlier. " (Hadith narrated: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah).

Second, just rubbed turban

From Amr bin Umayyad r.a. said: "I saw the Holy Prophet. turban and stroked both his shoes. " (Hadith narrated: Ahmad, Bukhari, and Ibn Majah).

From Bilal that the Holy Prophet. He said: "Rub both shoes and Khimar (headgear)". (Hadith narrated: Ahmad).

Third, rubbing the crown and the turban

In the hadith Mugheerah bin Shucba ra, mentioned that the Prophet. ablution. He rubbed the crown, turban, and two of his sandals. (Hadith narrated: Muslim).

5. Washed two feet to the ankles

Based on the Word of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla,

"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).

From Ibn Umar r.a. said: "The Prophet PBUH. Disadvantaged from us in a journey. He followed us when Asr time has been narrow. We immediately made ablution and wiped our feet. He cried aloud two or three times, "Woe to the ankles from the Fire." (Hadith narrated: Bukhari and Muslim).

6. Orderly

Because Allah 'Azza wa Jalla in the verse (Surah Al-Ma'idah: 6) mentions fardhu ablution in order to separate both hands and both feet (the obligation is to wash them), with a head that must be rubbed.

Sunnah of the Prophet practiced. also in accordance with the ablution fardhu. There was no history of any one that says that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam perform ablution with serial no. Our duty as Muslims is taqwa of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla and follow the sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam. And Allaah knows best.

A number of Islamic organizations in the Bay Area, including the much reported, the Zaytuna College in Berkeley, have changed their culture through movement. In January, the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California will open a new gallery in the center of the facility to showcase the works of Muslim artists.

Meanwhile, the cultural center in Oakland has decided to enhance their arts programs since six months ago as executive director said the agency, Ali Sheikholeslami. Institute in Oakland is routinely held titled "Islam and the Author" which invites the authors to discuss topics related to Islam.

"We want to break down common stereotypes and show the whole spectrum of Muslim reality," said director of development and promotion of cultural centers in Oakland, Jason van Boom.

One of the Muslim scholars behind the Zaytuna College, Hatem Bazian, the first liberal Muslim art institutions in the country, agrees that thought. "In American society, the expression of artists is a way to tell a story. So, Muslims began to describe their own narrative," he said.

Bazian said the ethnic mix and a large number of Native Americans are turning to Islam in the Muslim population in the Bay Area has created synergy. 'It can be seen from the art forms that break down ethnic boundaries, "he said. The population of Muslims in the Bay Area is estimated at 250 thousand people and is regarded as one of the most diverse communities in the U.S..

However, the effort was not always smooth. For the local Muslim American artists whose work is considered 'radical' by most conservative Muslims, bernarasi is not easy.

A number of the audience left the performance space, aka 'WO' on a show in early November at UC Berkeley. When the show was featuring drama titled "Hijabi Monologue".

"I need more time and energy to negotiate with the community whether it is music haram or not rather than the content of the story," said a native U.S. citizen who turned Muslim, Anas Canon. She was also the founder of record labels and talent scouts Muslim artists, Remarkable Current.

One of the difficulties he had faced when Remarkable Current which recently held a book signing with a DJ in Oakland. Debate was immediately sticking around women and men who dressed nearly alike and interact in one room together. A fiery comments on Facebook and even denounced the event has drawn hot comment from Muslims throughout the Bay Area.

No doubt, in the consciousness in the midst of controversy, such as construction proposals Muslim cultural center near ground zero, New York, some works of art from the second generation Muslims tinged with a sense of urgency.

"Our Narrative has been stolen," said Wajahat Ali. He refers to the depiction of the Muslim general who often displayed the American media. The tendency of parents to encourage their children into prestigious professions such as doctors, lawyers and businessmen, said he has lowered morale and creative voice.

But Palin is not the Bay Area Muslim artists to quickly create their own narratives. Ali works depicting the drama of modern Pakistani-American family, is now a famous literary magazine feature in the country, McSweeney.

Over the years Ali called the local art as a force 'latent' with the heartbeat that is ticking. But now Ali says "she started to dance."

"Indeed, male and female Muslim, male and female believers, men and women who remain in obedience, men and women who are true, men and women who are patient, both men and women who fervently , men and women who give alms, men and women who fast, men and women who maintain his honor, men and women who many call (name of) Allah, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and great reward " . (Surat al-Ahzab: 35).

Fasting Ashura is strongly recommended by Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. He said,

"Fasting is the most important after the fasting of Ramadan is fasting the month of Muharram." (Narrated by: Muslim).

"This hadeeth narrated Ibn Abbas radi 'anhu: he said: Ibn Abbas radi' anhu was asked about fasting on the day of Ashura ', he replied: I never saw the Messenger sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam virtues of fasting day to figure that day on day-to-day other than on this day. So did (I never saw him) fasting month except this month, the month of Ramadan. " (Narrated by: Muslim).

At first the fast of Ashura is required by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. And this is the habit of fasting Quraish in the time of Ignorance. But after Allah 'Azza wa Jalla ordered on the obligation of fasting month of Ramadan, the position of the fast of Ashura became fasting Sunnah.

"This hadeeth narrated Aisha radi 'anha, she said: It is the Quraish in the time of Ignorance always fasted on the day of Ashura' and the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam also fasted on that day. When he migrated to Medina, he still fasted on that day and told his companions to fast on that day. However, when required fasting month of Ramadan, he said: Those who want fast, then fasted and he who does not want to fast, then he should leave. " (Narrated by: Muslim).

Although the fast of Ashura is the sunnah of fasting, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam strongly recommend to every Muslims to run fast. Fasting Ashura (as well as the fasting of Ramadan and fasting, etc.) has several virtues. One of the virtues of fasting that has been mentioned above that Allah Almighty provides forgiveness and great reward to any of His servants who perform fasting. In addition, the primacy of other fasting is fasting as a shield (protective) themselves from all acts of sin. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

"Fasting is a shield, an armored servant with him from the Fire." (Narrated by: Ahmad).

Because once the primacy of fasting, let us as Muslims perform the Sunnah of fasting (fasting Ashura). And Allaah knows best.

In general, the broadcasts would like to list shared perspective, namely Islam in the middle keanakaragaman, and not mentabukan theme or problem-prone. In addition, Muslim TV also discuss the themes under the spotlight in recent times than among non-Muslims in Germany. For example about family honor killings and forced marriage, the case which is more related to tradition and not by the teachings of Islam.

Planned in some future time Muslim TV will expand the agenda to be ditayangkanya, among others, by adding a rubric, which mainly deals with the actual problems faced by Muslims living in Germany and in Europe in general. In addition, efforts are also quite urgent that Muslims will do is improve the quality of broadcast TV and broadcasting techniques.

Sunnah in Footwear Wearing

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

"When any one of you wear footwear, must precede the right foot. When removed, let your left leg first. Or let him wear the two (a pair) or remove both (simultaneously) ". (Narrated by: Muslim).

Sunnah can be done by a Muslim many times in a day and night. For example, when he would leave and come home from work, when he would leave and come home from school, while going to and from the mosque and so forth. Beginning with the intention of worship, every time a Muslim wearing pads or bare feet, God willing, he will get a reward worth it.

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam like to prioritize the right of doing things that are glorified (good).

Aisha said, "The Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam loved putting that right as much as possible in all affairs, as in the purification, combing hair, and wearing sandals (slippers)." (Narrated by: Bukhari).

Instead, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam prefer the left side of doing things that are not glorified (dirty). For example when going to the bathroom, when out of the mosque, when you remove the sandals, when you remove the clothes and other things that convey the same with it.

Sunnah in Dress

Wear or take off her clothes is the work done repeatedly by a Muslim in the day and night. For example, when it will go to work, when it will go to school, when it will go to the mosque and so forth.

Wear or take off her clothes have come from some of the sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. And when it is done with sincere heart, God willing, will produce a reward.

Some Sunnah in clothes:

1. Reading Bismillah when you use or remove clothing. Imam Nawawi rahimahullah said: "It is recommended in all work."

2. Read the usual prayers read by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam when wearing clothes, cloth or turban. Prayer is a means:

"O Allah, I beg thee to obtain his kindness and goodness of the goals of this clothing is made. I seek refuge in You from evil and evil purposes of this clothing is made. "(Narrated by: Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and Ahmad).

3. When wearing clothes, starting with the right. This is based on the hadith the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam,

"When you wear clothes then start with that right." (Narrated by: At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood and Ibn Majjah).

4. When removing clothing or fabrics, starting with the left.

Thus some of the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam that we should follow, for the degree of faith and piety can be increased in the presence of Allah' Azza wa Jalla. Regarding the other sunnah will be present at the next article. To be continued.
