3 Cleanliness in Islam

Islam is one religion that emphasizes cleanliness to its limit and considers purity as part of faith. The application of this tradition to the person's enclosing network of energy is significant. The few sections below on energy aspects to cleanliness intend to relate laws of cleanliness in Islamic jurisprudence to modern scientific laws, in particular in relation to the human energy system.

al-Qudah (2000) in his article, Supremacy of Preventive Medicine in Islam, which appears in the book Islamic Medicine by al-Ghazal, says: Quoting al-Sadiq (AS) in Misbahul-Shariah - Chapter 9: Besides physical cleanliness a Muslim experiences from every visit to the washing closet, Islam has laid much more emphasis on the spiritual and info-energy pollution, and ways to safeguard oneself. It would only be complacent for any person to replace the unfavorable information within the fields of energy released by the damage from the microbes and parasites, with pure and favorable, free flowing unadulterated energy of water. Scientists have observed clean water to store higher vibrations of energy and strongly favorable info-energy. The many times this happens, the better - and that's why the Prophet (S) recommended being clean and in ablution at all times. The Prophet (S) has considered ablution as light (energy), and Allah considers it an act of oppression if one's ablution is broken and he or she does not perform the ablution again.

Muslim males also perform Istabra after urinating - a procedure where the penile organ is squeezed to get rid of the remaining urine in the organ. Silent coughing and a push in the groin area are also recommended after urinating.

On a separate note, when one washes himself or herself, Islam emphasizes looking at the flowing water, which has been associated with numerous merits. No doubt, the energy fields surrounding the eyes and the body becomes highly charged from such a communication (with water) improving eyesight and other functions of the human body. This aspect will be explained in details in later sections on the importance of looking at the Qur'an, looking at the face of scholars, looking at greenery, looking at certain gemstones, and looking at the Ka'bah in Makkah al- Mukarramah.

Muslims Wash Themselves After Going Through Natural Episodes al-Khumeini quotes al-Ridha (AS) in his book The Disciplines of The Prayer as having said: In Islam, purifying the organs (after sex, after urinating and so forth) is considered the shadow of the purity of the heart and spirit. Energy contamination created from excreting waste products has been largely documented (Schwartz and Russek, 1999) and the negative effects are clear. We don't only excrete waste physically, but informational and energetically as well. And if not properly disposed or cleaned, we may be developing a sea of electromagnetic energy pollution. When humans interact, their energy also interacts with each other. According to Weston (1998), the energy of persons who are angry, fearful, or sick does contaminate other people's energy unless they are protected. This low-frequency energy and adulterated infoenergy can and does short circuit the normal flow and balance of one's energy and causes fatigue and malaise. In Islam, and according to the blessed, Infallible (AS): In Majmaul-Bayan - Volume 10, Page 526, the Prophet says: As Muslims, one cannot live a life, pray or perform acts of worship in an unclean state. Men and women have to take a shower (in a prescribed manner, as per the rulings) after sexual intercourse; women have to do the same after monthly bleeding; women also wait for ten days after giving child-birth and then take the ceremonial shower, and so forth. Washing away blood in wounds is also an obligation before prayers. We now also appreciate the alterations in the energy fields at the site of wound (Burr, 1972). Washing the wound with water will not only balance the unsteady energy and violent nature of the info-energy from getting hurt, but the free flowing fields of energy in water will also replace the surrounding environment with strong, vibrant energy as the site of the wound becomes clean and pure.

Muslims are further obliged to perform major ablution (ghusl) after having sexual intercourse. This individual, who is ceremonially unclean, is neither permitted to enter a mosque, unless passing through it without stopping for a single second. Furthermore, unclean individuals (Muslims or not) are not allowed to even enter or pass through the mosque of the Prophet (S) and Masjid al-Haram, the sacred Mosque in Makkah that holds the Ka'bah. Apparently, for similar reasons, atheists and infidels are also prohibited to visit these sacred mosques. Scholars of Islam have interpreted this verse as the idolaters being physically and spiritually unclean. al-Majlisi (1627) writes that the whole city of Makkah is sacred and should be held in purity at all times. The whole city is a place of prayer and can be considered as a mosque.

For such persons, touching the writings of the Qur'an or names of Allah (SWT), Prophets (AS) and the Ahlul-Bayt (AS) in any script is strictly forbidden. Apparently, and as we shall explore later, the mosques, the writings of Allah (SWT) and names of the Prophets and Aimmah (AS) all contain within them free flowing energy and unadulterated info-energy, and to contaminate them with ones adulterated energy is prohibited. This person has to wash and purify himself first.

The command is as follows:

Keeping in mind the nature of a person, sex produces powerful urges and the couple gets into deep ecstasy during the act. After ejaculation, both are fatigued and store unsteady fields of energy. The info-energy is not only filled with information about the sex, but needs to be replaced with a better and more favorable information with that of water - since water is mercy from Allah. In order to return our state of energy to a higher state of vibration once again and worship Allah (SWT) sincerely and without distractions, we are obligated to perform ghusl that will eventually ground and discharge the sexual energy and energy shortages and replace them with more stable network of energy. The weaker fields of energy from sexual relations would also be replaced with the free flowing and pure info-energy of water. After the ghusl (bathe), the couple's energy will return to a higher rate of vibration and will return to remembering Allah (SWT) and achieve higher stages of piety.

In Biharul-Anwar - Volume 78, Page 51 - Book on Purification - al-Majlisi relates under each hair, there is remnant of impurity after sexual intercourse and the reason why major ablution (ghusl for the entire body, including the hair) is compulsory after sexual intercourse. The major ablution has also been termed as the absolute light by Muslim scholars and ablution as light.

Washing oneself, bathing and showering with flowing water has a special designation in the science of human energy. Weston (1998) writes that taking a shower cleanses the energy field. He even advises one to take a shower after work or an argument. The water, according to Weston (1998) has the ability to purify the information within the energy, eliminate fatigue, and fully recharge the relevant fields of energy.

In actuality, the water will flush and wipe off all the unsteady energy with lower vibrations within the system, and there is a chance to create and introduce pure, free flowing energy with higher rates of vibration. However, the prescribed manner of the shower (ghusl) is undoubtedly a part of the obedience to the Almighty Allah (SWT) and the science of Islamic Jurisprudence.

The use of shower to clear negative energy works on and beyond the physical level. According to Poole (1999), running water provides a potent solution for the discharge of unwanted energy. al-Khumeini in his book The Disciplines of The Prayer also advises Muslims to perform ghusl (major ablution) at all times, as a sinful life can taint a person at the physical and spiritual level. According to him, even leading a life of polytheism and disobeying the commands set by Allah and following satanic ideas requires ablution that will eventually cleanse the person at various levels. This unclean person is not fit for standing for prayer in front of the Almighty. The Prophet (S) has said, Indeed, if a servant commits a sin, then performed Wudhu (ablution), and asked forgiveness from Allah from his sin, it shall be incumbent on Allah to forgive him.

Water is therefore one of the most pure elements in this universe and even the Prophet compared a faithful believer to water. al-Qur'an also considers water as a source of the mercy from Allah. Moreover, and as Allah has mentioned in Qur'an in the above verses, only earth can most favorably replace water as it is an excellent source to ground and eliminate low-charged energy in an unclean individual or that individual. When there is no water, this unclean person can use earth to perform Tayammum (to purify himself) and then say his prayers. Of course, he will perform the obligation with water when it is available.

Similar is the case with a woman in her monthly periods. It is unquestionable that monthly menstruation causes women to feel nervous, shy and dejected despite the fact that this occurrence is an involuntary natural course. The insult to the tissues and blood gushing out of the woman's female organs involve pain, discomfort, anxiety, and highly disharmonic energy processes. This event creates in the woman a disharmonious energy reality and makes her fatigued, irritable and depressed. The info-energy released during this period is also detrimental to the overall energy. Similar applies to a woman who just gave birth to a child - she also has to make a ceremonial shower after ten days, almost what it takes for the woman to recuperate.

In Hinduism and Orthodox Christianity, a woman cannot be a priest during menstruation. In Hinduism, a menstruating woman cannot participate in groupprayer in the temple. In Judaism, this woman must cleanse/purify oneself at end of period and after childbirth (Jewish mikvah). Several other religions hold similar commands, and some of these observations are made below. However, as we shall note, Islam has been the most merciful and respectful to a menstruating woman disallowing her only from certain acts of worship.

Jewish laws and regulations concerning menstruating women are extremely restrictive. The Old Testament considers any menstruating woman as unclean and impure. Moreover, her impurity infects others as well. Anyone or anything she touches becomes unclean for a day: Due to her contaminating nature, a menstruating woman was sometimes banished in order to avoid possibility of any contact with her. She was sent to a special house called the house of uncleanness for the whole period of her impurity. The Talmud considers a menstruating woman fatal even without any physical contact - Our Rabbis taught ... if a woman menstruating passes between two (men), if it is at the beginning of her menses she will slay one of them, and if it is at the end of her menses, she will cause strife between them (bPes. 111a).

Furthermore, the husband of a menstruating woman was forbidden to enter the synagogue if he had been made unclean by her even by the dust under her feet. A priest whose wife, daughter, or mother was menstruating could not recite priestly blessing in the synagogue. No wonder many Jewish women still refer to menstruation as the curse.

Observing the laws of purity is a sacred duty for every Zoroastrian. A Zoroastrian woman in her menses is doctrinally held to be in a state of impurity. This is not an indictment against women alone for even a priest who has a bleeding sore or a festering wound is not permitted to enter the precincts of a fire temple until he undergoes ritual purification.

The Roman (the original incorrectly stated Greek) author Pliny in his Natural History (Book 7, Chapter 13) states, On the approach of a woman in this state (i.e., menses), wine will become sour, seeds which are touched by her will become sterile, grafts wither away, garden plants are parched up and the fruit will fall from the tree beneath which she sits. In Book 28, Chapter 23, he continues ., bees, it is a well-known fact, will forsake their wives if touched by a menstruating woman ... Fire itself, an element that triumphs over every other substance, is unable to conquer this.

We gather from the Vendidad (16.2) (the only part of the Avesta, the collection of holy texts in Zoroastrianism), that the observance of seclusion during menses in a separate place has been in vogue since times immemorial. This custom, again, is not unique to the Parsi community alone. A Hindu woman, in her menses, abstains generally from worship, cooking and remains aloof from other members of the family. The Jews believe Prophet Musa (AS) had interdicted Jewish women from going near rivers, wells, fire or kitchen, grain fields, gardens and cattle.

Clearly, Islam does not consider a menstruating woman to possess any kind of contagious uncleanness. She is neither untouchable nor cursed. She practices her normal life with only few restrictions: prayer, sex, etc. Any other physical contact between them is permissible. A menstruating woman is permitted to do everything else for that matter.

Therefore, what a woman goes through during menstruation is why the Muslim woman in her monthly period is refrained from fasting and saying her prayer, because she will be presenting herself to the Almighty in an unpurified and unstable state. This woman is thus absolved from prayer and fasting for that period of time to relieve herself from duties of worship. And if she continues to bleed after certain number of days, then she has to perform ablution accordingly or ghusl before each prayer. This Muslim woman is further prohibited from sexual intercourse with her husband due to medical and reasons related to the info-energy system.

Further, according to the Infallible (AS), this kind of woman and a polluted person (who is ceremonially unclean and whom ghusl of janabah is obligatory) are even refrained to approach a dying person as the angels dislike this and leave the dying person alone in a dreadful and fearful state. Prophet Suleiman never approached his wife when she was menstruating (al-Jibouri, 1987). Apparently, Maryam - Mother of Prophet Isa (AS) - always left the temple, in which she resided, whenever she was unclean and her periods began. She would remain at her aunt's house until she became clean again (al-Jibouri, 1987). She also bathed with water after her periods ended and began assuming responsibilities of worship. Allamah Majlisi (AR) says: As soon as the monthly period is complete, the woman takes a shower and makes her ghusl in the name of Allah, returning her energy to higher vibrations before worshipping Allah (SWT). The water grounds and eliminates most of the unstable energy fields that accumulated within her and replaces them with favorable infoenergy of water, with higher frequency fields of energy, and/or energy frequencies with higher rates of vibration. Psychological, physiological and physical discomfort and pain before, during and after menstruation remains a fact and experienced by most women.

As soon as the monthly period is complete, the woman takes a shower and makes her ghusl in the name of Allah, returning her energy to higher vibrations before worshipping Allah (SWT). The water grounds and eliminates most of the unstable energy fields that accumulated within her and replaces them with favorable infoenergy of water, with higher frequency fields of energy, and/or energy frequencies with higher rates of vibration. Psychological, physiological and physical discomfort and pain before, during and after menstruation remains a fact and experienced by most women.

Even though the brain waves and the heartbeats are absent, force fields do remain in a dead person as long as three days after the death of the individual (Garrett, 1959). The energy radiated has been reported to be as free flowing or blocked and muddled as might be in a live person. Joy (1979), a medical doctor states that he was able to feel the energy of his patients for several hours after their death, if their physical body was intact.

In 1966, Victor Adamenko cut away a small portion of a leaf and used Kirlian photography to take an electro-photograph of the remainder. The developed photograph showed a shadowed image of the cutaway portion, as if the entire leaf were still present. The energy image was present and projected itself after the physical death of the leaf. Phantom limb pain can be explained using the same above observations. Siegel (1994) writes that during her journey with the Shamans she observed one of her students absorb the physical pain from a priestess and was experiencing a stabbing in her shoulder, as the priestess had when her arm was cut off.

Muslims Prefer Cleanliness Studies have shown significant alterations to one's energy system from the different rays produced from television and computer screens. For example, these machines and many others radiate so much muddled energy fields that living plants nearby dry up and die, as their pure and unadulterated info-energy is eaten up and destroyed. The physiological damage caused by electrical devices has been extensively covered by Becker (1990), in his book Cross Currents - The Perils of Electro-pollution, The Promise of Electro-medicine.

The alteration in the fields of energy as a result of drawing and attracting to oneself adulterated info-energy from other humans is also significant and notable. There are many instances where humans can become vulnerable to these faults and shortages in the energy, and water (taking a shower, or even washing up several times per day) is one main act of cleaning up. This way, we can balance some of the disharmonious energy patterns that we have attracted (from machines or humans) or produced ourselves during the day.

Siegel (1994) writes that during her journey with the Shamans she noted one of the Shamanic healing techniques in which the healer sucked the disharmony, lower vibrations and painful info-energy brought about by illness out of the sick person using water as the main medium.

Minor ablution (wudhu) is therefore highly recommended, over and over again, as per the Infallible (AS) - light upon light. And as we have observed before, this act has a strong ability to strengthen the fields of one's energy and bring about favorable information within the energy to increase productivity during worship. Therefore, of several non-obligatory things that can come to the aid of a believer is always maintaining the state of wudhu. The Prophet of Islam (S) says, Wudhu is the weapon of a believer. It is the duty of a believer to confront the satans that he is in mortal combat with them. Therefore, he must always be clean and with valid wudhu.

A person should always be with wudhu, and if some time has passed after performing the ablution, he should renew it as a measure of carefulness that it might have gone void without the person noticing it. It is said, Wudhu is light and performing wudhu over another is a bigger light. This is the light that dispels the darkness created by Satan in the hearts of the persons.

The Infallible have further said: Burujardi, al-Khumeini's son-in-law narrates: Islam is one religion that has specific rulings on pure and impure items. The religion also has rulings on ways to purify an impure element, and whether with water, earth or stones. Even though some of these rulings are now applied in the modern-day society, man has had to wait for decades until science gained crucial knowledge over the different types of dirt and proper cleansing agents.

Islam for example, considers urine, fecal matter, semen, as impure elements and you have to purify yourself after you get into contact with these elements. Alcohol is also forbidden, and it is an impure element. The internal and external faults and alterations in the energy fields that occur after drinking alcohol is only now being appreciated and the West is spending a fortune to educate the young to abstain from alcohol. The info-energy in alcoholics remains to be desired and his or her weak and corrupt info-energy system will attract the same. This is exactly why an alcoholic may simply do anything that is considered way immoral and indecent - a similar example relates to shame as a result of eating the meat of a Pig.

Muslims are advised to wash their hands before they prepare food and eat, and to wash their private parts with water after urinating or passing out fecal matter. As we have noted, water can most successfully drain the faults and shortages in the surrounding energy fields (caused by the dirt and tainted info-energy inside a restroom) and bring about a balance in one's surrounding energy. Stones may be used for cleaning after passing out fecal matter, but several different stones have to be used. Even though tissue may remove the dirt physically, these paper towels hardly do the job of cleansing the fields of energy and so the network of energy fields within the organ remains unstable to an extent, with lower vibrations in the energy and adulterated info-energy from the excretion.

Similar is the case with a dog licking any given material, blood squirting out from one's wound, intoxicants or any other forbidden drink getting into contact with a person, and so forth. All of these require cleansing with water or earth, so that the individual can wash out the unstable energy and replace the unfavorable infoenergy residing the energy fields.

Circumcision Obligatory in Islam Circumcision is obligatory on Muslim boys and science has favored this act of worship to have limitless advantages, from physical cleanliness to cleanliness of the energy fields, and maintaining vibrant energy within the male organ. It is apparent that an uncircumcised individual will always have part of the skin overlapping his organ and this creates a fault in the network surrounding the energy whenever he urinates (or has sexual relations) and filth remains on the skin. The info-energy of the dirt also remains stored within the energy surrounding the penile organ.

Urinary tract infection, impotency, early and immature orgasms are some of the health problems that occur when the male organ is physically unclean and surrounded by low-charged and blocked fields of energy. As mentioned later, too much hair in these areas also has the same effect on the organs and Muslims have been advised to cut-off the hair every few weeks.

According to Morris (1996) in his article Medical Benefits of Circumcision: The blockage and decreased vibrant nature to the energy fields surrounding the penis brought about by lack of circumcision is apparent. Circumcision has been observed in many studies to reduce the risk of infection with HIV and also reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in their life partners. In addition, Morris cites references from over 40 studies showing that uncircumcised men have about a three-fold increased risk of contracting heterosexual HIV infection, leading the World Health Organization to recognize the role of circumcision in preventing worldwide AIDS.

Dr. Morris lists numerous other ailments and disorders that may arise due to lack of circumcision, and the reason why medical practitioners are now urged to inform parents of the benefits of having their male children circumcised. Even if death and chronic health problems are not an issue, the damage to the person's energy system and adulteration of the information contained within the energy is enormous and unfavorable to himself and his peers. Ablution (wudhu) Before prayer Quoting al-Sadiq, al-Khumeini writes the following narration in his book The Disciplines of The Prayer: Not only does water have physical cleansing abilities, Weston (1998) writes that water also has the ability to charge one's energy and introduce pure, and refreshing energy. As we shall note later in the case of Prophet Adam, water is mercy from Allah and has significant abilities to replace the adulterated energy present within us. Therefore, saying prayer, reading from Qur'an, and performing acts of worship are all recommended acts after a shower, wash or even rinse. Weston further recommends washing of hands, and also rinsing one's face and hands in water as ways to charge and increase the rate of vibration in one's energy. These practices have been recommended and performed by Muslims in an obligatory fashion.

Muslims further speculate as to why the obligatory act of minor ablution (the act of wudhu) before prayer. This is largely because Allah, in His infinite mercy would like us to approach Him and perform at our peak during each prayer and so we may be more attentive and productive. Coherent energy fields mean increased vibrant nature, and increased productivity is the goal during prayer. Ablution is one effective method to increase one's rate of vibration and to charge one's energy. Water also has a remarkable way of clearing negative energy within us and replaces the info-energy with one that is pure and unadulterated.

When the Prophet was asked as to how one can achieve good concentration, fear of Allah and presence of heart in prayer, he replied that the person should take seriously the performance of wudhu - the minor ablution, washing before prayer, and perform it well. Clearly, the Prophet meant a direct relationship between the wash and increased vibration in ones energy resulting in increased attention in prayer or other kinds of worship.

An advice from the Prophet (S) to Abu Dhar (AR): In addition, if we have spent hours during the day meeting different kinds of people, shaking hands and sharing energy with frequencies of different rates of vibration, it would only be lucrative to us if we wash the face and hands before prayer. This act will neutralize the unfavorable info-energy and energy toxins we have gathered from people, machines, and from within ourselves as a result of anger or fatigue. Weston (1998) and many other energy practitioners go to the extent and recommend one to take a shower after any kind of work to balance one's energy.

Ablution is, therefore, one of the most divine and productive suggestions we have in Islam, and to perform this act for Allah (SWT) before any worship or even before any job may increase our attention and concentration significantly. Shaykh Najmuddin (AR) says: Apparently, this concept is not only related to Islam, but numerous mediaeval books of etiquette insist upon the washing of hands, face and teeth every morning. According to Qur'an: Sayyid Muhammad Rizwi (1989) provides us with a very good example in that the human soul is like a light bulb: Therefore, humans have to cleanse their fields of energy at all times in every way possible. Apparently, Barbara Brennan (1987), a world-renowned energy scientist, practitioner and teacher suggests that traditional healers should take a 20- minute bath early morning to replenish one's energy and become more active and resourceful during therapy sessions.

History narrates that after performing the undesired act of eating the fruit from the tree, even the energy fields surrounding Prophet Adam (AS) were replaced and cleansed with the purity and energy of water, a direct order from Allah to wash the four parts of his body with water. We also can now appreciate that even the thought process that takes place before one commits an act of disobedience to the Almighty can adulterate one's fields of energy and lower the rates of vibration. Ablution is the answer.

The tradition is from The Disciplines of The Prayer by al-Khumeini:

Ablution Becomes Null and Void

In Islam, there are numerous reasons as to why ablution, the act of purifying oneself, becomes invalid and has to be renewed. For example, your ablution is void with flatulence; if you sleep; if you visit the lavatory and urinate or defecate; have sexual intercourse, and so forth.

Even though flatulence is a normal way for the body to detoxify itself, there is significant release of unfavorable energy from this act (because it is part of the excretory process) and purification is recommended. The info-energy of the dirt and inside the lavatory also has the ability to adulterate the energy system of that person. It is highly recommended for one to repeat the ablution - for the benefit to oneself or before standing in front of the Almighty for daily prayer. As discussed before, Islam wants the best for its followers and that's exactly why Allah (SWT) Himself is responsible for these rulings, and they are indeed perfect.

Whenever we visit the lavatory (and because of the many visits and dirt involved), the act will most certainly reduce the rate of vibration in our fields of energy and also adulterate the information contained within the energy. These alterations would most certainly create weaker fields of energy within the surrounding and the individual's energy system. Therefore, one needs to stabilize these alterations in the energy system by performing ablution, thus increasing his or her force field's rate of vibration. Clearly, now we can understand why Prophet Suleiman always gave his ring (with the name Ali) to any of his present followers before he visited the lavatory (as we shall note in later sections, even stones, writings have surrounding energy and interact with nearby fields of energy).

An advice to Muslims is to refrain from performing the act of ablution inside a lavatory, where the surrounding energy and the lower frequency vibrations and tainted memories fill the info-energy. One can now appreciate this ruling in Islam, since the energy released from contamination (from excretory products) do remain in the atmosphere affecting nearby energy and its rate of vibration (Weston, 2000).

When we sleep the electrical field surrounding us drops in strength and frequency (Becker, 1990) and become stagnant, with not much activity. With such slow frequency and vibration, we will not be able to perform at our peak during worship, as higher frequency fields of energy (surrounding a person) is required to maintain higher levels of attention and concentration. The performance of ablution takes care of this problem before sleeping and before the morning prayer.

The advice to Muslims is to say their prayers, recite al-Qur'an, and so forth before sleeping and on waking up, in order to charge one's energy and limit its adulteration. Ablution also has the ability to balance the alterations in the infoenergy that would accumulate during the night. No wonder, Allah (SWT) in His Infinite Mercy incites his followers to perform Ablution before sleeping and that this act carries the merits of worshipping Him the entire night. One's sleep is also conscious and the reason why even sleep in the month of Ramadhan al-Mubarak praises the Almighty Allah, Great is He. As mentioned later, drinking water in a certain manner leads to the water (inside ones system) praising Allah (SWT). Like animals, humans, angels, and the whole of creation, water is also living and can perform praises. Science has explored this aspect in details.

Islam Prefers White Clothing
al-Majlisi (1627) reports that the Prophet (S) preferred white clothing and that most of his garments were of white color. According to the Science of Colorology, white is the color of purity. It will purify the body on the highest levels. It is the highest charging field to bring peace and comfort at the highest level. Apparently, Islam has much emphasized white clothing, in particular when praying to Allah (SWT). For centuries, Muslims have been wearing white clothes during prayer and employed white shrouds for their dead, and now we have the advantage of knowing its merits.

Color is light and light is energy, so color is energy. Recent research into the effect of color on people has shown that people who are blind from birth can learn to differentiate colors through their fingertips by noticing the color's rate of vibration. No wonder why most fast food companies use red and orange as their colors. Red and orange both stimulate the info-energy related to appetite, which makes you feel hungrier.

Today, most recent discoveries confirm the validity of using colors for healing and harmonizing the balance of body and mind. Innumerable experiments and tests have scientifically proven the influence of color on the human psyche. The color white in many cultures equals purity and it is the color of integrity. It is made of all colors and therefore is complete. It is the highest charging field to bring peace and comfort at the maximal level. Therefore, the recommended white clothing is supposed to increase our attention and concentration in prayer, as we become more productive and energetic. The Prophet (S) was correct when he said:

In Energy Field Soma: The color white also acts as a guard to watch over the individual's energy. The advice by the Prophet (S) to wear white clothing whilst saying prayer is now clearer than ever. By wearing white clothing, the highly charged, coherent, and favorable info-energy one releases into the surrounding environment as a result of prayer will remain, and one's energy system will not attract energy fields with faults and shortages since the later is weaker and at a much lower rate of vibration. This way, one would maintain good energy, attention and concentration during prayer. Wearing white clothing thus shields the body from absorbing negativity (Poole, 1999).

Medical doctors and nurses have been wearing white clothing for centuries, and besides cleanliness, the specific color clothing does have a protective effect and shields away the weak energy released by the sick people. We have noted that such energy interactions can lead to sickness.

Since colors are based on frequency vibrations, color therapy is sound and scientifically proven. The Prophet of Islam (S) favored the color green when it came to choosing the color of his general clothing, and he advised his followers to wear green color shoes whenever possible. In Islamic traditions, looking at greenery improves eyesight and health. It seems that the frequency of the color Green and its high rate of vibration have a direct effect on improving eyesight. The high-energy vibrations may have a direct effect on the fields of energy surrounding the eyes, and as the vibrations in the fields increase, the productivity in the eyes increases. This relationship will be explored in details in the section on gemstones and fertility.

According to Margo von Phul (2000): MORE on Cleanliness Continued cleanliness is one of the basic rules for attaining spiritual perfection (Taba Tabai, 1991). Islam recommends brushing teeth before performance of rituals, and especially at the time we perform wudhu and before prayer. This would help balance any faults and unpleasant info-energy within the mouth (created by decaying food particles, etc) so we can communicate well and in an appropriate fashion with the Almighty. As the Prophet (S) has advised: The Prophet (S), in particular, brushed his teeth before taking his ablution for prayer, upon waking up for his supererogatory night prayer, and before the dawn prayer. Apparently, the Prophet (S) also brushed his teeth before retiring and on his deathbed (al-Akili, 1993).

To apply perfume at all times, and in particular during prayer, burning incense, wearing clean and white clothes, shave or trim unwanted hair every forty days are also recommended. Undoubtedly, hair that has remained insipid, stagnant, and without ventilation for weeks will certainly create in its surrounding weak energy, that will cause detriment to the energy system of that person. Barbara Brennan (1987) has further attributed such alterations and energy blockages in the pubic area to impotence, insufficient orgasm, and lack of physical pleasure from sex, and premature ejaculation in men. This is why Ali (AS) has said: The Prophet (S) further said:
