Do you Know how to Use the Miswaak?

You may think that I have been using the Miswaak for such a long tome but my teeth and stomach are still bad. Dear Islamic Brothers and Sisters! The Miswaak is not at fault here, it is you. I have come to the decision that only half in a million people know how to use the Miswaak properly. Most of us usually rub the Miswaak quickly over our teeth while performing Wuzu and put it away. In fact, we are just following the tradition.

14 Madani Flowers (keep in memory):

1. The width of the Miswaak should be equal to your little finger.
2. The Miswaak should not be longer than a span otherwise Satan will sit on it.
3. The bristles of the Miswaak should be soft. Hard bristles will cause a gap between the gums and teeth.
4. If the Miswaak is fresh then brilliant otherwise soak it in a glass for a while until it become soft.
5. Cut the bristles everyday. The bristles are only effective when they are bitter.
6. Rub the Miswaak over the width of your teeth.
7. Use the Miswaak 3 times whenever you use it.
8. Wash it each time.
9. Hold the Miswaak in your fight hand with your little finger under the Miswaak, the middle 3 fingers above it and the thumb on the edge of the Miswaak.
10. First clean the top right side of the teeth then the left side and then clean the bottom right side and then left side.
11. By closing your fists around the Miswaak there is a risk of you suffering from piles.
12. Miswaak is Sunnah for Wuzu but if one ha bad breath, using Miswaak is Sunnah-e-Mu’akkadh.
13. Don’t throw away the bits that come the used Miswaak which cannot be used any longer. Instead, you should put them away in a safe place, bury them, or throw them into the sea.
