The Importance Of Miswak In Islam


Hadhrat Ibn Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) 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).” (BUKHARI)



Reward for using miswak before prayer

"If I had not found it a hardship for my Ummah, I would order them to make wudhu for every salaah and to use miswak in every wudu." - - [Bukhari, Muslim]

I think the above hadith is sufficient to show the importance of miswak.
