Wudu and Science: Real-Life Stories of Healing, Faith, and Scientific Discovery

The Birth of a Son after 6 Daughters

This is the statement of an Islamic brother of Markaz-ul-Auliyā (Lahore) in his own words with slight changes:

Probably, in 2003, an Islamic brother invited me to attend the 3-day Sunnaĥ-inspiring international Ijtima' (Şaḥrā-e-Madīna, Madīna-tul-Auliyā, Multan) of Dawat-e-Islami, the world-wide non-political movement for the propagation of the Quran and Sunnaĥ. I told him that I was the father of six girls and that my wife was expecting another child, so I asked him to make Du'ā for a boy this time. Adopting an extraordinary manner of individual effort, the Islamic brother said, "سُبْحَانَ اللّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Then you definitely need to attend the 3-day Sunnaĥ-inspiring Ijtima'. Attend the largest Ijtima' of Prophet's devotees after Hajj and say Du'ā, innumerable pious Islamic brothers attend the Ijtima', your Du'ā might be answered due to the blessing of their presence." His words penetrated my heart and I decided to attend the Sunnaĥ-inspiring Ijtima'. Words cannot express the faith-strengthening atmosphere I felt there; I felt such spiritual peace for the first time in life.

اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہِعَزَّوَجَلَّ, a few days later, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ gifted me with a Madanī boy, as beautiful as the moon. My family-members were also overjoyed.

اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہِعَزَّوَجَلَّ! I joined the Madanī movement of Dawat-e-Islami. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ granted me another Madanī boy as well.

اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہِعَزَّوَجَلَّ at this moment, I am rendering my services as the responsible for Madanī Qāfilaĥ in Dawat-e-Islami.

Wuḍū and Science

Read this booklet completely.

اِنْشَاءَاللّٰہُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ You will get amazing treasure of knowledge about Wuḍū.

The Prophet of mankind, the peace of our heart and mind, the most generous and kind صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has narrated, "Those loving each other for the sake of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ when meet and shake hands and recite Durūd Sharīf upon the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, their preceding and succeeding sins are forgiven before they go apart."

(Musnad Abī Ya'lā, pp. 95, vol. 3, Hadīš 2951)

صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْبِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Embracing Islam by Virtue of Wuḍū

A person states that he offered Islam to a university student in Belgium. The student asked him scientific benefits of Wuḍū. He could not answer. He carried him to a religious scholar but he also had no knowledge about it. Another person possessing scientific information told him several benefits of Wuḍū but he also could not tell benefit of Maşḥ (moistening) of neck. That student went back. After sometime he came and informed that his professor informed during the lecture, "If a few drops of water are sprinkled on neck and its surroundings, protection is obtained against the diseases of vertebral column and spinal cord." Hearing that he said, "I grasped the blessing hidden in moistening of neck, hence I want to embrace Islam" and he became Muslim.

Seminar in Western Germany

The problem of depression is growing in the western countries, brain failures are being reported and more mental asylums are being established. Long queues of psychiatric patients may be seen before Psychiatrists. A Pakistani physiotherapist who holds a diploma from Western Germany states that a seminar on the topic "What cures other than medicines are possible for depression" was held in Western Germany. One of the doctors revealed an amazing discovery in his speech by saying, "I get washed the face of patients of depression five times per day and after few days their disease reduced. Then I get washed face, hands and feet of a similar group of patients five times a day and they healed up to a great extent." The same doctor accepts in the end of his speech that the problem of depression is short in Muslims as they wash face, hands and feet (i.e. during Wuḍū) several times daily.

Wuḍū and High Blood Pressure

A heart specialist assures that if a patient of hypertension is asked to perform Wuḍū and then his blood pressure is checked, his B.P. will be definitely lower. A Muslim Psychiatrist states, "The best cure for psychiatric patients lies in Wuḍū." The western experts get washed body parts of psychiatric patients several times like Wuḍū.

Wuḍū and Paralysis

Even the order of washing organs during Wuḍū is beneficial. Washing of hands in the first step motivates the nervous system of the body and then slowly effects transmit towards veins of face and brain. The order of washing hands, then mouth-wash, then nose-wash and then washing of remaining organs reduces probability of paralysis. If face washing and Maşḥ are done first, the body may suffer several diseases.

The One Who Values Miswāk

Dear Islamic brothers! There are many Sunan in Wuḍū and each Sunnaĥ is a source of blessings. As an example consider Miswāk. Even children know that use of Miswāk in Wuḍū is Sunnaĥ and see what a lot of benefits are associated with this Sunnaĥ! A businessman says, "I met a newly Muslim in Switzerland and I gifted him a Miswāk. He became happy. He kissed the Miswāk and then touched it with his eyes. Tears welled up from his eyes. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, unfolded it, and took out a tiny Miswāk, which was approximately two inches in length. He said that when he had embraced Islam, he was given that as a gift; he was using it with great care and then it was nearly finished making him anxious."

Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ had blessed him to have a gift of Miswāk from him. Then he added that he had a persisting infection in his teeth and gums. The dentists had no cure for it. He started to use the Miswāk and after a few days, he felt better. He went to see the doctor who was very surprised to see that he was cured. The doctor said that he could not be cured in such a short period of time with the medicine he had prescribed. Just recall carefully what he had used. He pondered and recalled that he had become a Muslim and had recently started to use the Miswāk. Due to use of the Miswāk, he was blessed and healed. When he showed the Miswāk to the doctor, he was stunned."

صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْبِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

To Strengthen Memory

Dear Islamic brothers! Miswāk has many benefits in this world and the Hereafter. Miswāk contains many chemical ingredients which protect the teeth from many infections. It is quoted in the margins of Ṭaḥṭāwī: "Use of Miswāk strengthen memory and eyesight, cures headaches and relieves the veins in the head, eliminates sputum, improves digestion, increases brain power, increases birth rate, delays aging and strengthens the back."
