Purify
By ʿĀmatur-Raḥmān (Female servant of The Most Merciful)
Your mouth is the pathway for reciting the noble words of your Lord. It is respectful and shows your strive to attain excellence in worship.
Your Lord says, towards the end of Al-Isra’ ayah 108 that:
“…Indeed Allah loves those who purify themselves”
At some point, NabiyyulLoh (ﷺ) said he’d have commanded us to clean our mouths before every Salah, if it wasn’t that he feared that it would be a burden upon us (ﷺ)
So, strive to brush your teeth before reciting the words of your Lord.
May your Lord make us amongst those who are muhsinūn and mutatohirūn. Aameen aameen.
May your Lord make the Qur’an the light of your heart. Aameen aameen.
