THE MISWAAK 

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)  laid great stress on the 
use of the Miswaak (a tree-twig used for cleansing the teeth). One 
of the Sunnats of Wudhu is to use a Miswaak. Wherever a Miswaak is 
available and is not used, the full beauty and complete Sawaab of 
the Wudhu is not realised. There are numerous benefits and 
advantages in using a Miswaak.
History of miswaak
The Miswaak, a tree-twig, was in use for brushing and cleansing the 
teeth long before the advent of our Holy Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi 
Wasallam). In fact the records of our Nabi Muhummad's (Sallallahu 
Alayhi Wasallam) Ahadith indicate that the Miswaak was the "Sunnah" 
or practice of all the Ambiyaa (Prophets of Allah)—Peace be upon 
them.
Abu Ayyub (R) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) 
said: 

'Four things are amongst the practices of the Ambiyaa —circumcision, 
application of perfume, Miswaak and marriage'." 

(AHMAD AND TIRMIZI) 

Several other Ahadith of our Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) also 
mention the Miswaak to have been the practice of the Prophets (Upon 
Whom Be Peace). Thus, we can safely claim that the practice of using 
the Miswaak is as old as mankind itself since Mankind's origin on 
the planet was with the appearance of the first Nabi of Allah, viz. 
Adam (A.S.). Therefore, among the many advantages and benefits of 
using the Miswaak, one of the greatest benefits is the good-fortune 
of being associated with the Ambiyaa in this holy practice. On the 
other hand, those who neglect the use of the Miswaak invite upon 
themselves a great misfortune by being deprived of the tremendous 
amount of Sawaab (Reward) which this noble practice carries. 

Allamah Ibn Ismail says: 

"It surprises me how people could forgo such a great Sunnah, the 
significance of which many Ahadith of our Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi 
Wasallam) explain. Remember that it is a great loss to neglect the 
Miswaak."

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MISWAAK IN ISLAM 

Islam has accorded an elevated status to the Miswaak. Its importance 
has been stressed in many Ahadith of our Holy Nabi (Sallallahu 
Alayhi Wasallam). The statements and examples of the Sahaba and the 
Ulama of Islam regarding this practice bear testimony in abundance 
of the significance of the Miswaak. 

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)'." 

(BUKHARI) 

It is clear from this Hadith that two types of benefits accrue from 
the use of the Miswaak. These could be categorised as follows: 

(1) UKHRAWI or Benefits which relate to the Hereafter; 
(2) DUNYAWI or Benefits which relate to this worldly life.

The Ukhrawi category comprises the various Sawaabs (Rewards) which 
the Servant of Allah will obtain in the Hereafter for using the 
Miswaak. The Dunyawi category comprises the immediate benefits or 
advantages accruing to the physical human body by the constant use 
of the Miswaak. 

The prime motive of the true Believer in his use of the Miswaak is 
his desire to obtain the first category of Benefits, i.e. Ukhrawi, 
the obtainal of the second category being a necessary corollary. 
This is so, since the only factor which governs the motive and 
intention of the Believer in his Ibaadat (Worship) is the Pleasure 
of Allah, our Creator, Nourisher and Sustainer. Hadhrat Ali (R), the 
fourth Khalif of Islam said: 

"Make the Miswaak (i.e. its use) incumbent upon you, and be constant 
in this practice because Allah's Pleasure is in it and it increases 
the Reward of Salat from ninety-nine times to four hundred times." 

In fact, the importance of the Miswaak is such that at one stage our 
Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)  was under the impression that 
Allah Ta'aala might decree the use of the Miswaak Fardh (compulsory) 
upon the Ummah (Islamic Nation). 

Abu Umamah (R) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu 
Alayhi Wasallam)  said: 

'Use the Miswaak, for verily, it purifies the mouth, and it is a 
Pleasure for the Lord. Jib-ra-eel (A.S.) exhorted me so much to use 
the Miswaak that I feared that its use would be decreed obligatory 
upon me and upon my Ummah. If I did not fear imposing hardship on my 
Ummah I would have made its use obligatory upon my people. Verily, I 
use the Miswaak so much that I fear the front part of my mouth being 
peeled (by constant and abundant brushing with the Miswaak)'." 
(IBN MAJAH) 

"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'." 

(BUKHARI)
