Secrets of Purification | Shaykh Yahya Rhodus

The Prophet said, "Religion was founded on cleanliness." And again, "Purification is the key to prayer." God said, " Therein are men who aspire to purity, and God loveth the purified." The Prophet also said, "Purification is one half of belief. God also said, "God desireth not to lay a burden upon you, but He desireth to purify you." Through these externals, those who possess insight awoke to the fact that the most important thing is the purification of the heart, because, it is very unlikely that the words of the Prophet, "Purification is one half of belief' meant that men should polish and clean the body with a generous use of water and to neglect the heart and leave it stuffed with impurities and filth.
