The Scientific Uses Of Ablution (Wudhu :وضو ) Part-I

By reading this Article, you will In'shaa-Allah  increase your knowledge about Ablution.

Acceptance of Islam due to the philosophy of Ablution:

A Muslim invited a university student in Belgium towards Islam and to his surprise, the student asked about the scientific benefits of Ablution. The Muslim became speechless therefore he took the student to a scholar but the scholar could not tell him either. Eventually, a person told this student many benefits of Ablution but could not tell him the benefits of wiping the neck so the student left. A few days later, the student came and said, 'During a lecture, my professor said that if you wipe the back of your neck on both sides with a few drops of water, you will be saved from spinal illnesses. Upon hearing this I fully understood the virtue and benefits of wiping the neck in Ablution and therefore I want to accept Islam' and he became a Muslim.

Seminar in Western Germany:

Depression is on the rise in the western countries and more mental asylums ( پاگل خانے ) are becoming full with patients. Psychiatrists are always investigating cures for depression. A Pakistani psychiatrist who holds a diploma in Western Germany states, 'A seminar took place in Western Germany on a cure for depression without the need of medication.' A doctor attended this seminar and surprised the audience by saying that he was treating his patients by making them wash their face 5 times a day and within a short period of time the treatment started to have an effect. He then treated another group of patients by making them wash their hands, feet and face 5 times a day and they also started to recover from their illnesses. At the end of the speech the doctor said, 'I confess that fewer Muslims suffer from depression as they wash their hands, face, and feet many times in a day by performing Ablution.'

Ablution and high blood pressure:

A heart specialist says with importance that those who have high blood pressure should be made to perform Ablution and most definitely, the blood pressure will become normal. A Muslim doctor says, 'The best cure for depression is Ablution.' Western doctors treat their patients by placing water on some parts of their body, which is just like Ablution.

Ablution and paralysis:

While performing Ablution, the body parts are washed in a certain order and there are many benefits regarding this.  When the hands are washed first, the nerves become aware of the water. Slowly, the effects travel to the face and the veins of the brain. The one who washes his hands first during Ablution followed by rinsing of the mouth and sniffing of the nose, then washing the face followed by the rest of the body parts is saved from becoming paralysed. If the individual starts Ablution by washing his face and neck first, he/she will have many illnesses.
