inner being with good thoughts just like a person purifies his body by washing it with water. When a man cleans his interior, he naturally wants his exterior to be clean as well. He should take care of his body and his clothes. He should try to keep his home and his environment clean. Cleanliness will then become an integral part of his nature. 71. The Middle Path The Prophet of Islam said that the middle path is the best. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith, No. 3560) In today's world, man has to coexist with many people. In such a situation, the best method is the one in which one’s path is not blocked by any obstacles, and without coming into collision with anyone. This is called the middle path, a moderate method that is always practical. In this way, one can move forward without putting oneself in great danger. In this path, nothing will shatter his whole plan, he will continue his journey to completion. 72. Elevation through Humility The Prophet of Islam said that God will exalt those who adopt the way of humility. (Sunan ibn Majah, Hadith No. 4176) It is a law ordained by God. Humility opens the door to progress for man, whereas the way of arrogance leads man to lowliness. Spirituality awakens noble human qualities in those who are humble. They begin to receive divine inspiration, which makes them appreciate nature more fully. They can see things as they are.
