Ritual purity in Islam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indian print of the Sura Al Fatiha in Mughal India, underneath it is printed "Do not touch unless ritually pure", 17th century.

Purity (Arabic: طهارة, romanized: ṭahārah)[1] is an essential aspect of Islam. It is the opposite of najāsa, the state of being ritually impure. It is achieved by first removing physical impurities (for example, urine) from the body, and then removing ritual impurity through wudu (usually) or ghusl.[2]
