Benefits of Miswaak

Appreciator of Miswaak
Dear Islamic Brothers and Sisters! There are many Sunnah in Wuzu and every Sunnah has its own benefit. Take the example of the Miswaak. Every child knows that using the Miswaak in Wuzu is Sunnah and what can one say about the benefits of this Sunnah! A Businessperson once visited Switzerland and said, “I met a new Muslim and I gave him
a Miswaak as a gift.” The new Muslim became happy. He took the Miswaak, kissed it, and then placed it on his eyes. Tears started to flow from his eyes. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, unfolded it, and took out a tiny Miswaak, which was approximately 2 inches in length. The new Muslim said, “When I embraced Islam, I was given this as gift, I was using it with great care and now it is nearly finished and I was very anxious. Allah عزوجل has showered his mercy and you have gifted me with a Miswaak”. Then he add, “I had a continuous infection in my teeth and gums and the dentists had no cure for it. I started to use Miswaak and after a few days, I felt better. I went to see the doctor who was very surprised to see that I was cured. The doctor said, ‘you cannot be cured in such a short period of time with the medication I gave you. Just think carefully what you have used.’ I thought carefully and remember that I had become a Muslim and recently started to use the Miswaak and due to using the Miswaak, I was blessed. When I showed the doctor the Miswaak, he was greatly amazed by this.”
