Today's topic is very general yet very important. It's not like I'one thousand an proficient or something trying to lecture you for getting your basics right, no, not at all. I just think that I need to share this info with you all as at that place are chances that sometimes we practice non have the exact noesis about some stuff.

Living in the dorm, I get to see people all effectually me all the time doing whatever they do. And I take observed a lot of them cutting the boom the wrong way, not accord with the sunnah. Being a Muslim, it'southward compulsory for u.s. to practise sunnah (the way the Prophet Muhammad SAW did things) and imagine the rewards we will go by practicing the sunnah in the tiniest of the things nosotros do in our everyday life.

Okay, you might be thinking I'g this snobby girl roaming out pointing people's faults. Haha no, I'thousand merely doing my duty as a Muslim to spread the cognition about things I know. Allow us beginning await at:

When to cut nails?

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) has related that, 'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) earlier going to Friday prayer would prune his nails and moustache.'

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that, 'Do non let forty days elapse without trimming the moustache and dent the nails.'

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) states that, 'To trim the moustache and nails and remove the hair nether the arms and the hair below the navel we take been given a time to take them off, do non leave them for more than than xl days (meaning trim them within twoscore days).'

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah anoint him and grant him peace) has said that, 'He who cuts his nails on Friday, will be in Allah's (The Exalted) protection for the following calendar week. He who cuts his nails on a Sabbatum will exist spared from illness, and he who cuts his nails on Lord's day will have poverty taken away from him. If someone is mentally unstable so by cutting his nails on Monday, this illness will exist cured. He who cuts his nails on a Tuesday will also be protected from illness. Information technology is better not to cut nails on Wednesday as there are hadith for and against, equally Imam Tahawi said, paring nails on Wednesdays tin can cause leprosy. To cut nails on Thursday will cure illness such every bit leprosy. '

All the hadiths are from Zikr.co.uk.

I first learnt near the sunnah way of cutting nails when I was in grade eight in Baharia Foundation School in Karachi. (Hey to you too, if y'all always went to that school :)) like around 7 years agone. It was our Urdu instructor who told us about it and I'm and then grateful to her for this.

She broke information technology down to u.s. in very simple terms and I don't think I would be able to forget it always.

What you gotta exercise is:

Cutting:

Raise your hands up like y'all practice when you're making a dua.
Showtime cutting the nails from the forefinger of your right easily till you reach the thumb of your left mitt.
In the ends chop off your nail from the right thumb.

Disposing:

At many dissimilar places I've read that nails and hair should be buried later on cutting them. I don't know how to go about that in current era. And then what I do is: I wrap them in a tissue and so I throw them in the dustbin.

Cleaning:

This is the most important part. I've seen a lot of people who don't launder their easily after cutting nails, which is the most disgusting thing, after not washing your hands coming out of toilet. I mean, the germs and bacterias reside under your nails and how tin can you non feel disgusted?!?

Like eww!

Anyhow, I promise this post was helpful and I also hope that you guys would implement this Sunnah in your life and help yourself and me in gaining some actress rewards. 🙂

JazakAllah khair for dropping by.
