When I was in jamaat, I learned the rewards of using miswak. I came home and started using it.

Ibn Umar (R) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: 'Make a regular practice of the Miswaak, for verily, it is healthy for the mouth and it is a Pleasure for the Creator (i.e. Allah is pleased with the Muslim who uses the Miswaak)'.(Source:Al-Bukhari)



Abu Hurairah (R) said:'I have used the Miswaak before sleeping, after rising, before eating and after eating, ever since I heard the Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) advising so'.(Source: Ahmad)

Sahih Al-Bukhari

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Were I not afraid that it would be hard on my followers, I would order them to use the siwak (as obligatory, for cleaning the teeth)

Miswak
(Saudi Arabian Chewing Sticks)
and Oral Health

“RESULTS: Compared to tooth brushing, the use of the miswak resulted in significant reductions in plaque (p < 0.001) and gingival (p < 0.01) indices. Image analysis of the plaque distribution showed a significant difference in reduction of plaque between the miswak and toothbrush periods (p < 0.05)..”


. actinomycetemcomitans was significantly reduced by miswak use (p < 0.05) but not by tooth brushing. These results were supported by the in vitro observations that extracts from S. persica interfered with growth and leukotoxicity of A. actinomycetemcomitans.”

[Mysterious Uk]

[crayon]

I don't, unfortunately. Every time I get a new one, say "this is it, i'm using it for good" I do for like a week or so... Then I just stop for some reason or another.

"Abu Hurairah (R) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: 'Was it not for my fear of imposing a difficulty on my Ummah I would have ordered that the Miswaak be used for every Salaat'." [Sahih Bukhari]

i read the same exact thing.

 

[islamiii]

yes .
because
Dawud :: Book 1 : Hadith 47
Narrated Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani:

I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: Were it not hard on my ummah, I would order them to use the tooth-stick at the time of every prayer. AbuSalamah said: Zayd ibn Khalid used to attend the prayers in the mosque with his tooth-stick on his ear where a clerk carries a pen, and whenever he got up for prayer he used it.

 

[Mikayeel]

I use it all the time, i brush my teeth in the morning and then i have one with me and i have it in my mouth whenever i can, then at night i brush my teeth agian. It really works, keeps ur teeth very healthy and in my case very white hamdulilah

He was a health guru too...man...he is amazing.

There is this brother at uni. He always has the miswak in his mouth etc. To be honest, I feel like hitting him across the head coz he looks like such a redneck. But I think it's just him. Not all brothers...so don't take offence.

I personally don't use the miswak. I brush my teeth a whole lot though! And floss! And I use whitening stuff sometimes!

Maybe I should just listen to our prophetimsad

 

[Mujahidah4Allah]

yes alhamdulillah

wa/salam

 

[Silver]

No, I don't but I'm gonna ask my grandfather to buy me one cos I dunno where to get it.

 

[KashifB]

No, but InshaAllah very soon will start miswak.

 

[Na7lah]

[muslim sister)]

I don't use miswak,but it doesn't mean I don't brush my teeth;D

 

[yasin ibn Ahmad]

alhamdulillah I use it all the time.Yes it is sunnah.We should use it for that reason.And I really like it.Sometimes I think to myself "How can people live without miswak?".
