The Importance of Siwak

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would use the siwak as soon as he entered his house.

Shuraih asked 'Aishah: "What would the Messenger of Allah do as soon as he entered the house?" She replied: "(He would use) the siwak".
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ يَبْدَأُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ قَالَتْ بِالسِّوَاكِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Aishah tells us about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene in Islam. It is reported that when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) entered his house, he would use a siwak to clean his mouth and teeth. A siwak is a small stick made from a tree root which is used for cleaning teeth and freshening breath. This hadith shows us how important it was for the Prophet to maintain good hygiene even in private moments such as entering his own home. It also teaches us that we should take care of our health and practice good hygiene habits on a daily basis. We should also remember that cleanliness is an important part of our faith and we should strive to keep ourselves clean at all times.
