Merits of Purification

1- Allah, the Exalted, says:

{إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِ‌ينَ}

'Translation' {Indeed Allah loves those who continually seek repentance and those who purify themselves} [Al-Baqara:222).

 

2- The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: «Cleanliness is equal to half of Iman (Faith)...» (Muslim).

 

3- The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: « The following verse was revealed concerning the people of Quba:

{فِيهِ رِ‌جَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُ‌وا ۚ وَاللَّـهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِ‌ينَ}

'Translation' {Wherein are men who love to purify themselves. And Allah loves those who purify themselves} [At-Tawba:108].

They used to cleanse themselves with water (after answering the call of nature), so this verse was revealed» (Tirmidthi).


4- The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: «Bilal, tell me the most promising deed you have done in Islam, for I heard the sound of your footsteps in Jannah (Heavenly Abode)!» Bilal answered: "I haven't done an act more hopeful to me than this: I have never performed Wudhu (ablution) during the day or night except that I performed what I could of voluntary prayers after it." (Bukhari).


5- The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: «Shall I not inform you of a deed with which Allah effaces the sins and elevates one's rank?» They replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" He said: «Performing Wudhu in a complete manner even if it is difficult, walking towards the Masaajid and waiting for the next prayer after observing one...» (Muslim).
