Purify yourself (DW#405)
May 31, 2018
Sura Baqarah, verse 222: and He loves those who purify themselves.
Tahara or ritual purity is one of the cornerstones of the Muslim faith. We have to cleanse ourselves before acts of worship in order for the worship to be valid.
Physical purity is, of course, only the starting point of tahara or purity.
When the Quran says that He loves the muttahiroon, those who purify themselves, we need to understand that purification of the body, mind and heart are all important to become those who are loved by Him.
How are some of the ways we can purify ourselves?
- Stay in a constant state of physical purity
- Purify our mind of negative thoughts – about Him, about ourselves and about others
- Purify our heart of anger, resentment, jealousy
- Purify our intentions for acts of worship and for good deeds
- Purify our dealings in business and with each other
