The Purity of the Muslim ~Dr. Sa’id Ibn Ali Ibn Wahf al-Qahtani

Description from the publisher:

This is a valuable book on Purification. The author arranged it under nine chapters. Each chapter discusses some matters and queries of this subject, “Purification.”

The word Tahara literally means cleanliness and purity, ie being free from all uncleanliness and impurity whether physical or spiritual. In religion it means removing physical impurity by clean water, earth or stones. It also means cleaning the body, as well as cleaning the soul from sins and polytheistic practices, from which every adult must be clean. The Prophet (pbuh) said “Tahara is one half of faith.” (Muslim 1/203)

For a Muslim it is obligatory to observe tahara and keep oneself clean by way of ablution, ghusl, or tayammum. To learn how to perform the worship acts in the proper way such a book is really indispensable.
