குதத்தில் கால்கள் படும்படி அமர்தல் என்பது தான் மனிதர்களின் இயற்கையான நிலையாகும். தாயின் கருவறையில் இருந்தே இது தொடர்கிறது என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. இந்த நிலையானது நமது உடல்நலனை காக்கவும் செய்கிறது என்பதை நம்மில் பலர் மறந்துபோன ஒன்று. ஆம், குத்தை வைத்து (Squat) அமர்தல் என்பது இன்று நாம் கேலியாக கண்டாலும் கூட, முன்னோர்கள் இதை ஒரு ஆசனம் போன்று தான் பின்பற்றி வந்துள்ளனர். இது, குடல், வயிறு போன்ற உடல் பாகங்களின் ஆரோக்கியத்தை காக்கும் நிலை ஆகும். மேலும் இது மலம் கழிக்கும் போது எந்த சிரமும் இன்றி இலகுவாக கழியவும் பயனைளிக்கிறது...
Covering The Head
Habib bin Saleh (may Allah be pleased with him) has related that when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) entered the toilet, he would put on his shoes and cover his head.'
Which Foot'
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would enter the toilet with his left foot, and exit with the right foot.
Removing The Clothing
Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) states that, 'When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would go to relieve himself, he would not remove the clothing from his body until he was close to the ground.'
jinns and Devils Stay in The Toilets
Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) has reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'These toilets are peopled by Jinn and devils, so when one of you goes there say, 'I seek protection in you from the male and female devil.'' Meaning pray the supplication before entering the toilet.
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'When one of you intends to go to the toilet then recite 'Bismillah' a veil will be placed between the jinn and the parts of your body.' This should be recited before entering the toilet.
The Prophet Teaches This'
Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that it was said to him, 'Your Apostle (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) teaches you about everything, even about excrement'' He replied, 'Yes, he has forbidden us to face the Qibla at the time of defecation or urination, or cleansing with the right hand or with less than three pebbles, or with dung or bone.'
Facing the Qibla
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that, 'When any one amongst you squats for answering the call of nature, he should neither turn his face towards the Qibla nor turn his back towards it.'
Facing or keeping the back towards the Qibla whilst going to the toilet is forbidden. We should take care of this at all times. If the toilet is facing the Qibla in your home then try and sacrifice some money and have it changed as you will be sinning every time you use the toilet. Even if children are taken to the toilet then it is the adult's responsibility to make sure the child does not face or have the back towards the Qibla or the sin will lie on the adult.
Punished For Splashes And Backbiting
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) states that, 'Once the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) while passing through a graveyard heard the voices of two persons who were being punished in their graves. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'These two persons are being punished not for something major (it is not difficult to be save from it).' The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) then added, 'Yes! (They are being tortured for a major sin) Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the other would go about with backbiting (to make enmity between friends).' The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) then asked for a branch of a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces, and put one on each grave. On being asked why he had done so, he replied, 'I hope that their torture might be lessened,
until these get dried.'
'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that, 'Whosoever says that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would stand up and urinate do not believe them, he would urinate but sitting down .'
Respected brother/sister! One of the reasons of the punishment in the grave is because of urinating standing up, Islam has given us a method to follow not only will you relieve yourself but you will be rewarded too. Don't forget, in this time when corruption is everywhere and by following one Sunnah, the reward of one hundred martyrs is awaiting for you! Another reason for the punishment in the grave is talking bad about other people, in today's society many do not want to here good things about others. We should always speak well otherwise remain silent. There are major punishments of speaking ill of others be it true. For more details read my booklet on evils of backbiting. May Allah (The Exalted) save us from these major sins, Ameen!
Using The Left Hand
Abu Qatada (may Allah be pleased with him) reported it from his father that, 'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that, 'None of you should hold the private parts with the right hand while urinating, or wipe with the right hand in the privy.'
Do not use the right hand for cleansing (Istinja) as it goes against the Sunnah unless you have a problem with your right hand. We use the right hand for eating, drinking, shaking hands, reading the Qur'an etc. we should use the other hand for cleaning, holding shoes, cleaning the nose etc.
Cleansing With Water
'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that, 'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) went to answer the call of nature, 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) bought some water. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'What is this'' He replied, 'Water for cleansing (Istinja).' The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'It has not been made necessary (Wajib) upon me after urinating to cleanse myself with water.''
அதிகரித்து வரும் பிரச்சனை
நாம் வெஸ்டர்ன் கழிவறை பயன்படுத்த ஆரம்பித்ததில் இருந்து மூல நோய் (hemorrhoids), குடல் (appendicitis), மலச்சிக்கல் (constipation), எரிச்சல் கொண்ட குடல் நோய் (irritable bowel syndrome) போன்ற உடல்நல கோளாறுகள் அதிகரித்து வருகின்றன.
வெஸ்டர்ன் கழிவறை தான் பிரச்சனை டயட் மற்றும் வாழ்வியல் முறை மாற்றத்தோடு வெஸ்டர்ன் கழிவறையும் இந்த பிரச்சனைகளுக்கு ஓர் முக்கிய காரணம் என சில ஆய்வுகளின் மூலம் மருத்துவ ஆய்வாளர்கள் கண்டறிந்தனர்.
மலக்குடம் வெஸ்டர்ன் கழிவறை பயன்படுத்துவதால் நாள்பட இது மலகுடத்தை பாதிக்கிறது. அதன் இயல்பு வடிவம் / நிலை தடைப்படுவதால் மலம் சார்ந்த பிரச்சனைகள் ஏற்படுகின்றன.
இந்த ஆசனத்தை செய்யும் போது, குடலியக்கம் செய்பாடு சீராகும். மேலும் இது வயிறு உடல் பாகங்களுக்கு வலிமையளிக்கிறது.
