Ablutions  
     
1. Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.”  
2. The Prophet said, “Any saying (Hadith) which claims I have called for the perfection of rituals above the intent of a thing, that I have defined superstitions over the course of nature is false.”
 
3. The Prophet said, “If I have given you guidance to self discipline, in the nature of your body, it is to help you focus on small things that build self-restraint. If I have given guidance for self-restraint it is to help you better understand the wisdom of the universe.”
 
4. The Prophet said, “Those who write much about ablutions and matters of rituals, those who imply the cleaning of one’s self when able is other than a private matter are spreading lies.”
 
5. The Prophet said, “Your body is a gift to be respected. When you honor your body in its cleanliness and best possible health, you honor the Lord who gave it to you. But do not obsess about your appearance, for vanity is a path to doom.”
