That was easy enough.
But I gonna have soap, shampoo and conditioner. All that other good stuff, a razor and shaving cream. Women shave their arm pits and their legs. |

Yes, but that is done repeatedly each time it is broken
before you do a prayer. Embark on the road Many follow religion as a formula, a series of ceremonies that have been handed down to them and which are followed without full depth of understanding. There is comfort (and real benefit) in performing rituals but the goal of a ritual is not the ritual itself. Ceremonies and rituals are symbols, they are indicators or shadows of greater realities - there is profound intellectual content behind them, underlying them. They provide a sagacious method, a map to follow, and an invitation to embark on the road to discovery of greater realities - to knowledge of what the symbol represents and the place to which the map of ritual is meant to lead - to experience of and verification of these realities - to personal knowledge of them. (-Irshaad) |

How I could imagine what my water bill would be like.
I wouldn't feel clean if I just cleansed parts of my body... I'd have to take whole baths or showers. Then if I took a bath... I'd still have to stand and rinse off in the shower. |

Islam is a about training to be God conscious I wake up in the morning, I take a abolution before I do my morning prayer. If my abolution is still intack/unbroken and if I do anything, I am conscious that I did my abolution for God, and God knew that I am still, until it breaks. what breaks an abolution, farting, peeing, touching of ones private parts No one knows that you break your abolution except you and God. And it would be good to redo it. No it does not kill you with the water bills. Even the desert living souls does it. But if water is unavailable there is dry abolution. Bathing, is compulsory after intercourse. Only then you do your morning prayers. 1400 years ago the prophet preachers man to stay clean. not just spiritually but also physically. |
