Care is essential to healthy living:- |

dental hygiene.

Emphasizing the importance of cleansing he further says: Cleanse the path of the Quran. It implies that
the mouth should be clean in order to be worthy of reciting the words of Allah.
c: Rasulullah (SA) says: Clean the
teeth horizontally, not vertically. Medical research has proven that horizontal brushing benefits the gums.

breath is not only due to improper brushing but also due to bacteria on the tongue. Tongue cleaners are handy tools.

Healthy Nails:-
Healthy nails are an indication
of good health. The color and condition of nails has been used by doctors to diagnose illnesses.
Clipping of the nails
is part of Taharat. Shariat directs that:
- A mumin should trim his nails every Friday. This will result
in shifa of the fingers.
- Islam instructs men to trim their nails short; and women
to grow their nails a little longer. The manicured nails of a woman, are aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, the nails
should not be long enough to obstruct everyday tasks.
The use of nail-polish is
forbidden in namaaz, because it is impure (napaak). A mumina must apply mehndi on the nails for
namaaz.
Here are some of the benefits of trimming the nails:
- The nail plate bends or breaks when stressed. A little pressure
during daily work can cause an overgrown nail to separate from the nail bed, thus creating a moist, warm space under the nail
where bacteria or fungus can grow.
- Dirt particles hidden in overgrown nails can play host to
Bacterium like Campylobacter which even in small amounts can cause severe abdominal pains.
