Re: Raja Gidh
It is partially true, at least at spritual level it is true. If you do not believe in sprituality then it is crap :p
Is there a difference in a normal bath and ghusal (Islamically prescribed way to have a bath specially after intercourse, periods etc) ?
Will a Muslim become "clean" (paak) to say his/her prayers after taking a bath ?
Why/how a person turns out to be "clean" to say prayers afther doing Ghusal ?
That cleanliness is more spritual then physical, and going one step further "tayyam'man" is totally spritual, where body is not cleansed physically but only spritually
(these are hardcore Islamic terms, If anyone wants to know, I will try to explain :) )
Same is the case with sin, haraam effects( btw eating/drinking haram is a sin)
There are many ahadees... one goes like when a person commits sin, a black spot appears on his heart,(he feels guilty) when he/she repent it disappears... but if he consistantly commit sins , after a while his heart turn completely black ( now he does not feel any guilt while commiting sin), at that time there is only a bleek chance that he may repent in life time.
Again its all spritual, We muslims are generally quite spritual in nature. good or bad that another issue
