This book, 'The Purity', explains that under Islam the concept of purification is not limited to personal and physical purity, but that it also includes purifying oneself of sin and all disobedience of God. The book then discusses the detailed rules of physical purification, including: ablution, grand ablution, the removal of impurity, dry ablution, etc.
We hope that this book will be of benefit to Muslim readers, giving them clear knowledge of the rules of their religion in this area. We also hope that non-Muslim readers will gain an insight into an important aspect of the religion of Islam and will find this book interesting.
