  • Ablution (Wuzu) and Science

    It has been proven by scientific experiments that vegetation, minerals, animals and humans are all set upon an electric system. This electric system keeps them functioning. The electricity from a human body is enough to power a torch or a pocket radio. It has been proven by research that when a fly sits on the leaf of a tree and produces movement in the leaf’s veins, an electric current starts flowing through the leaf.
    Aristotle once explained that a torpedo fish can shock a human with its electric energy. To obtain its food it hides beneath the sand and when fish come near, it makes them fall unconscious with its electric current. There is an incident that occurred in 1885 in Edinburgh relating to a black boy from whom an electric current could be felt by simply touching him with the finger. This boy was brought to much attention and experimented upon. Doctor Johnson kept this boy with him as a worker and at the same time experimented on him. He observed that by touching the body near the head, especially the tongue, a much stronger electric shock was felt. Doctor Aston and many other electricians investigated upon this boy but all were left open-mouthed and astonished.
    Doctor A.W. Milton, a famous African traveler, related that once his friends and him in anger started beating up an African boy and found that wherever they would whip the boy, an electric spark was produced. It has also been proven that by piercing the human body with a needle and by immersing the human body within hot or cold water a small electric current is produced. The sensations of a soft sound, light, taste and smell, all produce electricity within the human body.
    It is a miraculous feature of nature that it keeps producing electricity within the human body, which after flowing through the whole body, is earthed to the ground through the feet. To perform ablution is a requirement for Prayer. The reason being that when a person makes an intention to perform ablution, the usual route of the flow of lights within the body is changed. During ablution electric sparks are produced from the human organs. This action provides the human organs with strength, nourishment and energy.
    It is the statement of the Holy Prophet (PBUH):-
    ‘Once a person has performed ablution properly and then stands for Prayer, Allah directs his attention towards him and invites him to a secret conversation. Allah does not divert his attention from him unless the person himself diverts his attention away from Allah or makes his mind attentive towards other thoughts’

    Washing the Hands
    When we wash our hands when performing ablution, rays emerge from our fingertips to form a kind of circle, which results in an increased speed in the flow of the electric current within the body, and to an extent an electric current gathers in the hands. By performing ablution properly, such flexibility is produced in the fingers which activates one's talent to transfer the creative abilities present within one onto paper or canvas i.e. artistic abilities.

    Rinsing the Mouth
    After washing the hands we rinse the mouth. By rinsing the mouth we attain hygiene of the mouth, which leads to prevention of tooth diseases. The roots of the teeth become stronger and the teeth become whiter and shinier. The sense of taste becomes stronger and one remains safeguarded against tonsillitis.
    The Holy Prophet (pbuh) has advised us to use a toothstick (misvak) to clean the mouth. He declared:-
    ‘The misvak cleans the mouth and improves the eyesight. It also produces fluency within one’

    Putting Water into the Nose
    After rinsing the mouth we put water into the nose. The nose is a crucial part of the human body. The most remarkable ability of the nose is that it produces depth and pleasantness in the voice. Try speaking whilst pressing the nostrils with your fingers. You will feel the difference. The curtains in the nose play a very special role in the beauty of the voice. They also help gather light in the head. One particular duty of the nose is its involvement with cleaning. It makes the air clean, moist, warm and well balanced for the lungs to take in. In every human approximately five hundred cubic feet of air enters through the nose daily. A whole large-sized room could be filled with this large quantity of air. In the season of snow you can go skiing on a dry frosty day but the lungs will resist taking in the dry air. They are not ready to accept even a little gasp of it. Even at that time they need that air which is found in a warm and moist atmosphere. They require air with eighty per-cent moisture and of a temperature of at least ninety degrees Fahrenheit.
    The lungs demand air that is free from germs, smoke, dust and pollution. A simple air-filter required to supply such clean air would be approximately the size of a small suitcase whereas the system of nature within the nose is so small and integrated that the nose is only a few inches long. To make the air moist the nose produces approximately a quarter of a gallon of moisture daily. For cleaning and other difficult tasks the hairs of the nostrils come in use. There is a microscopic brush inside the nose. There are invisible fibres on this brush which kill the harmful germs passing into the stomach through the air. Apart from catching these germs instinctively these invisible fibres also have another method of defence called Lysozium. Using this defensive method the nose prevents the eyes from infection.
    When a person performing ablution puts water into the nose the electric current functioning in the water increases the efficiency of the invisible fibres, which in return safeguard the human body from many complicated diseases.

    Washing the Face
    The hidden wisdom in washing the face is that the tissues of the skin gain elasticity, the skin becomes soft and fine. The closed pores caused by dirt and pollution are opened. The face becomes attractive and radiant. If the blood circulation is too slow or too fast, it is brought back into balance. When the water enters the eyes whilst washing the face it strengthens the eye muscles. The whiteness of the eyeball is increased and the pupil becomes shiny. The one who regularly performs ablution has attractive and beautiful eyes. Wiping the hands over the face with water three times provides the mind with peace.

    Washing the Hands up to the Elbow
    Washing the hands up to the elbows has the hidden benefit that this action establishes a direct connection between one and the stored lights within the chest. A flow is established in the stock of lights. This action strengthens and provides energy to the tissues of the hands and arms.

    Performing Masah
    The hairs on the head act as antennae within the human body. Every conscious person acknowledges that ‘human’ is the name given to a store of information. Until one does not receive the information concerning an action he cannot perform that action. We only eat when we are hungry and we only drink water when we feel thirsty, we only lie in bed to sleep once we receive the information that our body now needs to rest. We only feel happiness when we receive any information concerning happiness. Similarly, the feeling of anger or annoyance is reliant upon receiving the information concerning anger or annoyance.
    When we make intention to perform ablution it actually makes us attentive towards the fact that we are performing this action for Allah. By the time we have fulfilled the fundamentals of ablution and have reached the stage of performing Masah our minds are attentive towards Allah and away from all else.
    When we wipe our hands over our head the hairs on our head acting as antennae receive all information which is contrary to all kinds of impurity, grief and those things which distance us from Allah. Our mind only accepts that information which is directly related to Allah and helps us get closer to Him.

    Masah of the Neck
    Spiritualists have divided the human body into six parts. One part is the jugular vein. The words of Allah are that ‘I am closer to you than your jugular vein (vein of life)’. This vein of life is situated between the head and neck. By wiping the neck with water (performing Masah) our body attains a particular kind of energy which is linked to the spinal cord (within the backbone) and human joints. When a person performs Masah, an electric current after entering through the hands gets stored in the jugular vein and after travelling through the backbone spreads to the nervous system of the whole body. Through this method the nervous system obtains energy.

    Masah/Washing of the Feet
    As we have already stated, the brain receives information and this information is then transferred through waves to the various organs of the body. Every wave of information has an existence. By existence we mean that it stays in motion. The law is that whether it is light or water, the flow of it is necessary. When a person washes his feet the build up of excess lights within him, which are poisonous, form a flow and are earthed through the feet and as a result the human body is safeguarded from poisonous matter.

      So u donot believe? Amazing...!

      It is a proven thing by science and i can give u many scientific examples with proper references, if u need.

        This ought to be interesting. Lets stick with that very first sentence, and see your proof for the very first thing you said :"It has been proven by scientific experiments that vegetation, minerals, animals and humans are all set upon an electric system."

        I'll start by providing some counter examples:


        This is asbestos, a mineral that was once commonly used as a heat and electrical insulator. Not only does it not exist in nature with an electrical current, it actually impedes current almost completely.

        Let's step back even further, though. Let's take a look a list of the elements, sorted by conductivity:


        This is far from an exhaustive list of minerals, but as you can see, most of the elements are very poor conductors.

        Interestingly enough, I do not know of a single mineral that generates (directly) an electrical current. Please feel free to correct me on this one, I would love to learn of this element or mineral.

        Feel free to show how you did not start off on the wrong foot and make an opening statement that boded poorly for your grasp of science and your inability to make scientific claims accurately and reliably, thus casting the even more dubious claims you make into further shadow and doubt.

          why do we make things complicated... it is simple and easy. we make ablution to pray as it is required by our religion (Islam) ONLY to please Allah swt. that is a good enough reason. you can not possibly use this as a da'wa method to preach Islam to non-believers...trying to convince them why they should do ablution and pray because it is good for their health...

          these things should be done only for ONE purpose ... to please Allah swt, and obey his order.

          i hate it when parents as a last resort start telling their children.. "pray 5 times a day, its a good physical exercise, it will keep u healthy and u will loose weight" ...damn it

            I have never heard this argument that parents tell their kids to pray because you would lose weight. I guess there is a first to everything.
            Islam will prevail, a promise made by the Creator of this universe:

            [61:8] They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with the breath of their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even if the disbelievers hate it.

            [61:9] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, even if those who associate partners with God hate it.

                ^i have. the modern parents of 21st century.

                i have even heard it being used as a dawa strategy... pray because science has proven it to be good for your healthy...

                its like... oh shut up!... we only pray for one purpose... and is the basic of Salah... to perform it for Allah swt

                  The reason why people don't wear the hijab is because they question it. Unfortunately, religion has been shoved down people's throat. Even if it is true people don't want anything to do with it.

                  Those who understand religion should be kind to others. If Allah wanted for everyone to follow Him He would not have given man free-will.

                    Do you think there are any benefits to salah? Why do we perform it the way we do? Why not just think of God when you are walking in the street or when you watching tv or when you are cooking or when you are taking a shower, better yet, when you are playing soccer?

Take the example of sister Muslimah who said she became a muslim after she read the book about scientific miracles in the Qura'an. Different aspects of Islam appeal to different people and thats why its the complete way of life and has answers to everything.
                      they say in Urdu... "har amal ka daromadar niyat par hota hai"

                      i agree people have different minds and they can't accept something without a reason. isn't a good enough reason for someone to pray as an act of worship? if anyone learns the translation of Salah they will be convinced why its important to pray. isn't worshipping part of every religion? i don't see other religion making an excuse for worshipping God...
                      why r we? if u have a niat of exercising... or doing ablution for sanitary purposes, then how r u praying for Allah swt?

                      Islam is so beautiful that it does not need a lame excuse to be spread in the world. why can't we use other scientific evidence in Islam, why r we targetting the essence of worship, our Salah!.... this act should only be done for ALlah and Allah alone!

                        I can find no fault nor flaws with this argument. If you do it as part of your religious beliefs, that is something that science cannot touch.


                        you can not possibly use this as a da'wa method to preach Islam to non-believers...trying to convince them why they should do ablution and pray because it is good for their health...
                        Not only can science attack these claims, the second you introduce science into the discussion you are agreeing to be held to the standard of science, which requires accuracy of claims, rigor of research, construction of logical proofs and deductions, and the use of the scientific method -- things that are difficult for many believers to adhere to. While they may be able to scientifically ground their claims, all too often you start off like this thread where scientific flaws abound in the very first sentence.


                        these things should be done only for ONE purpose ... to please Allah swt, and obey his order.
                        Again, this is the one argument that science cannot touch.


                        i hate it when parents as a last resort start telling their children.. "pray 5 times a day, its a good physical exercise, it will keep u healthy and u will loose weight" ...damn it

                        I agree.

                          ozy, don't you think that the Islamic form of prayer has to some extend some benefits to the physical body? Even ablution has. Would it not keep you clean. Is this not something healthy?

                            I am far from saying that. I am simply saying that the arguments presented here started with a false statement and shoddy science, and went downhill from there.

                            I would agree that it carries some benefits, as you are cleaning, and moving -- and that is beneficial. It's how far that benefit extends, and if those benefits are any more than going for a walk to get a fresh glass of water and washing your hands, that remains to be shown -- and since this thread is supposed to be proving these claims with science the benefits and extents have to be discussed with a firm grasp and understanding of science.

                            Once again, science cannot touch the claim that it servers a religious purpose, it can only measure and assess the claims that it has physical benefits.

                              ^Agreed!
                              I would say these are secondary arguments not primary. I see what you are saying.
