Tahara, Wudu, Ghusla - Purification and Cleanliness For the Pleasure of Allah (swt)

 

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

Sometimes in taking off our shoes to make Wudu in the Masjids we may pick up some very strong and difficult to treat foot fungi on the bathroom tiles or flip flop shoes that we place upon our feet. The best protection against that is to make Wudu and Ghusla at home right before going to the Masjid. The reason it is worth mentioning is because Tahara, Wudu and Ghusla are acts of Ibadah. All activities involving cleaning are acts of Ibadah for Muslims. This is what brings the Sakinah of Allah (swt) near to the worshiper because Allah (swt) loves purity, and cleanliness.

But, if the person washed at the Masjid and picked up a fungus, then there are some powerful natural solutions. I have 3 solutions that I found on the internet. Another reason that it is worth mentioning is that it is good to mention this to Revert and Convert Muslims.

Using a plastic container with a depth of 15-Qt/14-Liter, and dimensions are 12 inches wide by 16 inches long.

Solution 1 - Strongest

Vinegar and Water

1 Part Vinegar to 2 Parts Water. For that container 36 cups cover all of feet. It is good for the water to be warm

It is suggested not to leave the feet in this solution more than 15 minutes, and to do this once per day for 14-21 days.

Solution 2 - Moderate Strength

Hydrogen Peroxide and Water

4 measuring cups of Hydrogen Peroxide to 32 cups of Water. It is good for the water to be warm.

It is suggested to soak feet for 30-60 minutes.

Solution 3 - Mildly Strong

Baking Soda and Water.

32-36 cups of warm water and 1/2 of a 1 lb box of Baking Soda.

It is worth mentioning because it should not be forgotten to say these things to reverts and converts. They may not always see right away that, "the meaning of Life is the Worship of Allah (swt)"; nor seeing that many of the things that we do in life are interconnected to Ibadah and are acts of Ibadah themselves.
