Abstract

Hygiene is critical for health and reflects one's character and societal advancement. Its inadequacy signals infectious diseases, notably in underdeveloped countries. A wholesome lifestyle, as delineated by WHO, encompasses physical, mental, and social well-being. The Prophet of the last semitic religion, Muhammad ﷺ stressed cleanliness as integral to faith. This paper scrutinizes the doctrine of taharah (purification) according to a well-known Muslim scholar, al-Dihlawi." He expounds on taharah in his book "Hujjah Allah al-Balighah, underlining both bodily and spiritual purity. He accentuates the correlation between external and internal cleanliness, pivotal for attaining spiritual contentment, thereby enhancing quality of life.
