00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:04.900
The Orchard of Guidance.

00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:08.380
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says:

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:27.609
“O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer, wash you faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it. Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks.” (5:6)

00:00:27.609 --> 00:00:33.609
"...and wipe over your heads and wash your feet up to the ankles..."

00:00:34.829 --> 00:00:41.020
“O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer, wash you faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it. Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks.” (5:6)

00:00:41.020 --> 00:01:10.760
"...And if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you comes from relieving himself, or you have had contact with women and find no water,"

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.760
"...then seek clean earth..."

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:45.109
“O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer, wash you faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it. Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks.” (5:6)

00:01:45.109 --> 00:01:48.879
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.879
"O people!"

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.879
"When you come to the Friday prayer, perform ritual bathing,"

00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.879
"and let each of you apply the finest perfume if he possesses any."

00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.549
Related by Ahmad.

00:02:02.549 --> 00:02:03.549
Thus,

00:02:03.549 --> 00:02:08.099
purification in the religion is both physical and spiritual.

00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:10.099
As for physical purity,

00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:13.099
many people are capable of attaining it.

00:02:13.099 --> 00:02:15.099
But as for spiritual purity,

00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:20.099
none are granted success in achieving it except the elite among the servants of Allah,

00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:23.099
for whom Allah has ordained Paradise on its account.

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:31.099
And we have an excellent example in that man who would go to sleep bearing no malice toward anyone in his heart,

00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:37.219
so the Messenger (peace be upon him) announced that he was among the people of Paradise.

00:02:37.219 --> 00:02:41.219
Thus, through God-wariness and piety, the highest ranks are attained.
