Answer 1

You are right only Islam forces it's believers to do that.. The rest of us relay on personal cleanliness... Funny we don't even need to be forced. Jim

Answer 2

In the Ten Commitments of Hinduism cleanliness (hygene) is also mentioned (clean body and clean mind). This is also a requirement of the other Dharmic religions: Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Ayyavazhi. Taoism also mentions cleanliness as well in its teachings. Judaism mentions cleanliness in some of its purity codes/laws...which last I checked some of those are still recognized by Christians. These are the same purity/cleanliness rules that also ended up Islam. The Baha'i also have cleanliness rules. In some of the Pagan/NeoPagan traditions it is also emphasized. The Shinto religion also mentions cleanliness/purity as do many Native American religions.

In fact it seems that our ancient ancestors seemed to have understood the importance of cleanliness (of mind, of body, of food, etc) and that this understanding is reflected in the various religious traditions of the world. Some religions are more strict about cleanliness than others (some even ritualize bathing). Water has been a spiritual symbol in most religions of the world as well. Often representing the removing of spiritual obstacles, symbol of receiving spiritual blessings, and so on.

Excellent question. Thanks for asking it.

Peace be with you.

Answer 3

If you read the Old Testament, the Jews had laws regarding cleanliness and hygine.

Christianity teaches that cleaning your inside is more important than cleaning your outside.

If you perfectly cleanse your body, but on the inside you are filled with lust and hatred and jealousy - what good is that? Jesus called people who were only concerned with cleaning the outside "whitewashed tombs" - outside they looked great but on the inside they were dead!

That is why Jesus said we need to be born again, to be born from above so that we would be clean on the inside, where it really counts!

It's the same thing about eating certain types of food - Islam says eating pork is evil, so do the Jews, but Jesus said it is not what goes in to a man's mouth that makes him unclean, but what comes out of his mouth, because the words that come out of his mouth express the thoughts of his heart: greed, lust, evil thoughts, idolatry etc. Jesus said that this is what makes a person unclean.

Answer 4

What only one faith, there is no such thing! There are bloody thousands of faiths and they are all flawed. As to hygiene there are not many faiths that do not promote cleanliness and godliness. So the answer is forget these silly faiths and concentrate on being an intelligent human being who makes up his own mind about what is right or wrong. Forget following some old fart who lives in another world.

Answer 5

We pray to God 5 times a day. And each time we do we have to perform ablution by washing hands 3 times, rinse mouth 3 times,clean the inside of nose 3 times, wash face 3 times, wash arms up to the elbow 3 times, wet hair once backwards then once forwards, wash ears one time and finally feet on top one time then underneath one time.....always begin with the right of everything first....We also perform this ablution before touching the quoran. This washing is called Wudu. Why because " Allah does not accept prayer without purification" Why other religions don't do it i cannot answer..... But the people who have answered you already obviously have no idea what you where asking them as I'm sure they don't know about this purification Muslims perform....saying cleanliness is next to godliness...yes true, but this is not just take shower every day and use deodorant....???? Which of course goes without saying who wants to be offended by the guy sitting next to them at works body oder. This purification is not about personal hygiene which goes without saying that's not the issue. The cleanliness before talking and praying to god is the issue....

Answer 6

You will find this in fundamental Judaism, too. Hands, lower arms, and face are washed before the daily prayers.

It is a matter of coming before G-d in a clean state-clean and pure.

Answer 7

Not a fact The Vedic religions teach very high cleanliness. Including no animal slaughter which is abominable. If one practices Hygiene externally yet makes their belly a graveyard for innocent animals flesh how can they claim cleanliness. Its all speculation that no other religions says that. In Vedic culture one is to bath after passing stool, before preparing any food offering, when one rises, when one goes to bed. So don't make accusations if you don't know others scriptures.

Answer 8

Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth. Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."

Answer 9

Completely incoherrent. Question doesnt make any sense. If you mean Islam is the only religion which requires purity and cleanliness, then you are absolutley incorrect. However, i wont expand until i see the question in a form i can understand.

Answer 10

Water is best, if used correctly, to clean yourself after a call of nature. A 'douche' is common in most decent Indian (Hindu) family toilets in the UK.
Tissue paper is second best.
