Manners of Going to The Toilet
Supplication Before Entering
When going to the toilet the messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would wear footwear. He would cover his blessed head and before stepping into the room, he would read:

'Bismillah' 'Allah-Hum-ma Inni A'oodhu-bika Minal Khu-buthi Wal-kha-baith'

'O Allah I seek your protection from the male and female devils.'

We should try and learn these short supplications and practise them too. If we do not seek Allah's (The Exalted) protection from the devils, then there is a chance we can be affected with mental illnesses from the devils. We can not see the devils and when you can not see your enemy they are more dangerous. May Allah (The Exalted) protect and give us the ability to follow the Sunnah, Ameen.

1. Cover your head.
2. Enter with the left foot.
3. Any item (e.g. ring, locket etc.) that has the names of Allah (The Exalted) or His beloved Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) or any verse of the Qur'an, should be removed before entering the toilet. An Amulet (Ta'weez) can be worn as long as it is covered.
4. It is forbidden (Haram) to face or have the back facing towards the Qibla whilst relieving oneself.
5. It is best to lower oneself as much as possible before uncovering the body.
6. Put slight pressure on the left leg it makes it relieving easier .
7. One should be very careful about the splashing of urine (as this is a grave sin). One should sit to urinate.
8. One should not talk in the toilet without absolute necessity but if a person outside is calling and does not know then cough thrice to make them aware. This includes the use of a mobile phone be it for texting as this is not the place to do such things.
9. When two people talk when the body is uncovered Allah (The Exalted) is displeased.
10. Hold the container in the right hand whilst cleansing with the left.
11. The right hand should not be used to cleanse oneself. Unless there is a problem with the left hand then one can use the right hand.
12. Use the left hand middle three fingers for cleanings.
13. The sister should cleanse themselves with the lower palm of the left hand and do not separate the legs to wide .
14. Wash in odd numbers i.e. 1, 3, 5 or 7 times.
15. When cleansing yourself, males should hold their privates from the top with the left hand index finger and the thumb. Gently work your way down (as if milking an animal) so if drops are left they will come out.
16. After performing urination, if you feel that another drop of urine will come, then it is wajib for you to perform 'Istibrao' meaning after urination to perform some act that would force the urine left inside, to come out .
17. First wash the front then the back.
18. After cleansing with water you can dry yourself with some tissue.
19. After you have relieved yourself, wash your hands up to the wrists thrice.
20. Without necessity do not look at your private parts as there is a chance of the memory becoming weak.
21. Do not sit on the toilet for a long time as there is a chance of getting piles.
22. Do not play with your clothing or body, nor look here or there, nor look above, and do not touch your body without necessity.
23. Do not spit or clean your nose in the toilet.
24. Soon as you have cleansed yourself cover yourself as soon as possible.
25. When leaving the toilet one should step out with the right foot.

Supplication on Leaving
Once outside the toilet read this supplication :

'Ghuf-raa-naka Al-ham-du-little-la-hil-ladhi Adh-haba 'An-nil Adhaa Wa-'Aa-faani'

'O Allah I seek Your pardon. All praises are due to Allah who has taken away from me discomfort and granted me relief.'

Then that is your problem. You need to start devoting your entire life to God.

A_K_O:

I see it as food for thought.

joyce550:

huxley:

Oh, dear God, Father in heaven, you are the most high and worthy of praise and respect. I prayer from the bottom of the being, dear Father, that I may not and never win the grand million-pound lottery. In Jesus name, I prayer. Amen.


U really funny.

I cant stop laughing

My dear @affee,

We have decided long ago to forego attacks, insults or castigations, and rather seek to settle down and talk. . . I mean, really talk! I would not have tried to even concern myself with such a discussion; but seeing that misconceptions about terms (whether theism or atheism) have been at the root of the disagreements so far, I decided to share what I know from factual sources with our atheist, rationalist and naturalist friends - so that they also learn to understand that theists (and I speak as a Christian theist) are not irrational or non-thinking people. I believe the apostles knew that questions would be asked when Peter stated:

[list][list]"¹⁵But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: ¹⁶Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ." (1 Peter 3:15-16).[/list][/list]

People will ask questions: and for us to fail to give reasoned answers is detrimental to our own cause. The difference is that we do so in a spirit of humility, common sense, and amicable/friendly attitude. I can testify that many atheists often get upset and closed minded to the Gospel of Jesus Christ when we insult or castigate them. They may do so, but we are not to return the same attitude in like manner.

Jesus is Lord and Saviour - I believe so and have experienced His supernatural power in my life. The reason for my Christian theistic position is what I'm trying to share with our friends.

Blessings.

Pastor AIO:

Which brings us to the real reason for the idea that we all worship the same God. It's political. We say it to keep the peace. I personally would have collected the food in the first place, but then discreetly binned it if I didn't want to eat it.

That would be hypocrisy dont you think?

I think that the real reason why you sent it back in the first place is to make a show of your christianity's exclusivity. I don't know you to say that for sure but it is just what I suspect.

I never said I sent it back to the people that gave me the food, I simply gave it to the almajiris.
shey u know whom alamajiris are?. I cant throw food away, I make sure it is consumed even if not by me

pilgrim.1:

Good word.

1 Cor. 13:11.

Romans 14:13.

pilgrim.1:

Okay, we all have our various persuasions. I think the issue is quite plain and simple. One should not receive what they have rejected in their hearts. 1 Corinthians 10 shows has plain teaching on this subject.

pilgrim.1:

Thanks for that wisdom.

pilgrim.1:

@bawomolo,

Correction: Islam at its very core does not teach that we worship the same God. This fancy idea has been held on for eons that it's amazing how many people can be easily swept along in that deluge.

davidylan:

Kobomoje no problem. I know some have quoted this verse to you - if your heart condemn you not . . .

however i want you to take a look at another 1 Cor 8: 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

If your hair-do is offensive to your church either leave the church or do as they want.
