| Miswak The miswak (miswaak, siwak, sewak) is an effective natural oral care solution. The miswak is made from the root of the peelu tree (Salvadora persica) known in Arabic as "arak." It is often mentioned (in hadith) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recommended its use. |
Examples of hadith concerning the miswak:
The Prophet said, "But for my fear that it would be hard for my
followers, I would have ordered them to clean their teeth with Siwak
on every performance of ablution."
Aisha said, "The Prophet said, 'It (i.e., siwak) is a purification for the
mouth and it is a way of seeking God's pleasure."
'Abd al-Rahman son of Abu Sa`id al-Khudri reported on the authority
of his father that the Messenger of God said: "Bathing on Friday for
every adult, using of Miswak and applying some perfume, that is
available-these are essential. So far as the perfume that is concerned, it
may be that used by a lady."
