Miswak

Overview

Dear Islamic brothers! There are many Sunan in Wuḍū and each Sunnaĥ is a source of blessings. As an example consider Miswāk. Even children  know that use of Miswāk in Wuḍū is Sunnaĥ and see what a lot of  benefits are associated with this Sunnaĥ! A businessman says, “I met a  newly Muslim in Switzerland and I gifted him a Miswāk. He became happy. He kissed the Miswāk and then touched it with his eyes. Tears welled up from his eyes. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, unfolded it, and took out a tiny Miswāk, which was approximately two inches in length. He said that when he had embraced Islam, he was given that as a gift; he was using it with great care and then it was nearly finished making him anxious.

Allāĥ had blessed him to have a gift of Miswāk from him. Then he added that he had a persisting infection in his teeth and gums. The dentists had no cure for it. He started to use the Miswāk and after a few days, he felt better. He went to see the doctor who was very surprised to see that he was cured. The doctor said that he could not be cured in such a short period of time with the medicine he had prescribed. Just recall carefully what he had used. He pondered and recalled that he had become a Muslim and had recently started to use the Miswāk. Due to use of the Miswāk, he was blessed and healed. When he showed the Miswāk to the doctor, he was stunned 

To Strengthen Memory 

Dear Islamic brothers! Miswāk has many benefits in this world and the Hereafter. Miswāk contains many chemical ingredients which protect the teeth from many infections. It is quoted in the margins of Ṭaḥṭāvī: “Use of Miswāk strengthen memory and eyesight, cures headaches and relieves the veins in the head, eliminates sputum, improves digestion, increases brain power, increases birth rate, delays aging and strengthens the back.”

Three Aḥādīš about Miswāk

1. Whenever the Holy Prophet (PBUH)
   

   would enter his blessed 

   home, he would use the Miswāk first. (Saḥīḥ Muslim, pp. 152, vol. 1, Ḥadīš 

   152)
2. Whenever the Exalted Prophet (PBUH) 
    would wake up from his sleep, he would use the Miswāk. (Sunan Abū Dāwūd, pp. 54, Ḥadīš 57) 
3. Make use of Miswāk necessarily because it cleans your mouth and pleases Allāĥ (Musnad Imām Aḥmad, pp. 438, vol. 2, Ḥadīš 5869)

Cure for Blisters in the Mouth

Physicians have stated, “Sometimes blisters develop in the mouth due to warmth or acidity of the stomach and result in spread of particular type of germs in the mouth. To cure this infection, chew a fresh Miswāk and circulate the saliva thus formed in your mouth for a few minutes. By doing this, several patients have been cured.”  Do you know ? How to use a miswak
