I hope that you are all fine Insha-ALLAH after the freak storm that was
reported in New Zeeland.

Ablution as a brain stimulant
The further the scientific discoveries go, the more proofs appear - of an
undoubted use of everything the ALMIGHTY has prescribed for his best creation -
a human being. I'd like to offer the readers an interesting material on the
fact, how an ablution stimulates the
cerebral cortex and why it is Sunna to renew your ablution after it is spoiled.
First of all, a cerebral cortex is working according to the dominant principle,
i.e. if the there is one excited area in the cerebral cortex, it suppresses the
rest of the cortex activity. Going to the toilet is an enormous excitement
factor which suppresses the rest of
the cerebral cortex. An ablution, performed after this brings the entire cortex
into the optimal condition.
An English scientist U. Penfield made the following discovery in 1956: an
irritation of certain skin areas excites certain areas of the cerebral cortex.
An ablution, especially the one performed thrice, is such an optimal excitement
(irritation). One can see in the scheme of this English scientist U. Penfield
how almost all the cerebral cortex is getting excited when ablution is done.
In this scheme one sees very distinctly that while giving an ablution to these
certain body parts a much greater area of the cerebral cortex gets activated
rather than while washing the whole body. According to Sunna, an ablution is to
be done not only before Namaz (prayer) but also before any natural enterprise:
a trip, studying etcÂ…where an active and dynamic brainwork is required.
All this knowledge on the effects of ablution would be not possible if the
scientific discoveries had not been made, starting from China, 5 thousand years
ago and in England in the 20th century. Therefore, science is one of the
Islam's constituents. One of the Hadiths says: "There are two sciences:
religion science and body science". And today's scientific discoveries show the
interrelationship of these two sciences. It shows that science is Islam's
constituent.
Sharl Meesmar very truly said: "An increase in knowledge of the science's
weakens faith of the follower of other religions , but increases the faith of
the followers of Islam". Perhaps, Islam appreciates the time, spent on science
study, rather than the time, spent on formal and unconscious performing of
Islamic rites.
It is not difficult to imagine a cerebral cortex condition of a Muslim who
performs an ablution 5 times a day and who renews it each time he breaks it, it
is Sunna to be in a state of ablution all the time.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
