Lets refresh our knowledge about Miswak/ Siwak!
●What is a Miswak or Siwak?
A Miswak, or Siwak, is a natural tooth-stick made from a twig of a tree.
It can be from any tree. Typically made from peelu, olive or walnut tree. It is used to clean the teeth, and holds an important place in Islam.
The reason for this is that our blessed and beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam), along with all the other Prophets (Ala Nabiyyina wa Alayhim as-Salat wa as-Salam), used it regularly, and strongly advised his followers to do the same.
Unfortunately! Today, most perhaps this beautiful sunnah of using Miswak is almost a 'Forgotten' Sunnah (May Allah forbid).
Whereas, this is definitely one of the most favourable and easiest Sunnah of all. Instead, we embarrassed to practise it in public. May Allah give us better understanding. Here we present some of the sacred traditions of the beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) on the excellence and benefits of using miswak.
●Ahadtih on the Excellence of Miswak!
Hadith 1:
The Beloved Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) states,
"Miswak is a thing that pleases the Merciful Lord."
[Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Page 637, Hadith 1933]
So it is obvious that one will reap endless bounties when the Lord Almighty is pleased.
Hadith 2:
The Noble Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) has stated,
"When any one of you stand at night to offer Salah, you should clean your teeth with a Miswak because when you recite the Quran, an angel places his mouth on yours and anything coming out of your mouth enters the mouth of that angel."
[Shu'ab al-Iman, Vol. 2, Page 381, Hadith 2117]
Hadith 3:
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (Radi Allahu Anhu) has narrated the following saying of the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam),
"Miswak is a means of the purification of your mouths and the pleasure of your Rabb."
[Sunan Ibn Majah, Page 2495, Hadith 289]
Hadith 4:
Tabrani narrates a Hasan narration on the authority of Hadrat Ali (Radi Allahu Anhu), citing that Rasoolullah (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said,
"If I did not feel that it would be difficult upon my Ummah, I would have commanded them to perform miswak with every Wudu."
[Mu'jam al-Awsat, Vol. 1, Page 341, Hadith 1238]
