Ghusl

Ghusl is a full-body ritual purification practiced in Islam, performed to attain a state of spiritual cleanliness. It involves washing the entire body, including the mouth and nose, in a specific manner that ensures water reaches all areas. Ghusl is typically required after significant events such as sexual activity, menstruation, or childbirth, and before certain acts of worship like prayer and the Qur'an recitation. The intention (niyyah) is essential, and the process emphasizes cleanliness as both physical and spiritual preparation, fostering humility and mindfulness before God.
