Its root in the classical dictionaries
يقال: طهرت المرأة طهرا وطهارة، وطهرت ، والفتح أقيس، لأنها خلاف طمثت، ولأنه يقال: طاهرة، وطاهر، مثل: قائمة وقائم، وقاعدة وقاعد. والطهارة ضربان: طهارة جسم، وطهارة نفس، وحمل عليهما عامة الآيات. يقال: طهرته فطهر، وتطهر، واطهر فهو طاهر ومتطهر. قال تعالى: وإن كنتم جنبا فاطهروا
قوله تعالى: ﴿أن طهرا بيتي﴾ [البقرة: 125] أي من المعاصي والأفعال المحرمة. وقد كان ذلك إلى أن حدث في أمر قريش ما حدث من وضع الأصنام حوله، وعبادتها دون الله تعالى فيه، ووضع الأنصاب فيه؛ حجارة يذبح عليها لآلهتهم فيقع الدم والفرث، إلى أن بعث الله نبيه محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم، فعاد الحق إلى نصابه وأحيا ملة أبويه إبراهيم…
Remember We made the House
A place of assembly for men
And a place of safety;
And take ye the Station
Of Abraham as a place
Of prayer; and We covenanted
With Abraham and Ismā’īl,
That they should sanctify
My House for those who
Compass it round, or use it
As a retreat, or bow, or
Prostrate themselves (therein
In prayer).
O ye who believe!
When ye prepare
For prayer, wash
Your faces, and your hands
(And arms) to the elbows;
Rub your heads (with water);
And (wash) your feet
To the ankles.
If ye are in a state
Of ceremonial impurity,
Bathe your whole body.
But if ye are ill,
Or on a journey,
Or one of you cometh
From offices of nature,
Or ye have been
In contact with women,
And ye find no water,
Then take for yourselves
Clean sand or earth,
And rub therewith
Your faces and hands.
God doth not wish
To place you in a difficulty,
But to make you clean,
And to complete
His favour to you,
That ye may be grateful.
O Apostle! let not
Those grieve thee, who race
Each other into Unbelief:
(Whether it be) among those
Who say "We believe"
With their lips but
Whose hearts have no faith;
Or it be among the Jews,—
Men who will listen
To any lie,—will listen
Even to others who have
Never so much as come
To thee. They change the words
From their (right) times
And places; they say,
"If ye are given this,
Take it, but if not,
Beware!" If any one's trial
Is intended by God, thou hast
No authority in the least
For him against God.
For such—it is not
God's will to purify
Their hearts. For them
There is disgrace
In this world, and
In the Hereafter
A heavy punishment.
Remember He covered you
With a sort of drowsiness,
To give you calm as from
Himself, and he caused
Rain to descend on you
From heaven, to clean you
Therewith, to remove from you
The stain of Satan,
To strengthen your hearts,
And to plant your feet
Firmly therewith.
Of their goods take alms,
That so thou mightest
Purify and sanctify them;
And pray on their behalf.
Verily thy prayers are a source
Of security for them:
And God is One
Who heareth and knoweth.
Behold! We gave the site,
To Abraham, of the (Sacred) House,
(Saying): "Associate not anything
(In worship) with Me;
And sanctify My House
For those who compass it round,
Or stand up,
Or bow, or prostrate themselves
(Therein in prayer).
And stay quietly in
Your houses, and make not
A dazzling display, like
That of the former Times
Of Ignorance; and establish
Regular Prayer, and give
Regular Charity; and obey
God and His Apostle.
And God only wishes
To remove all abomination
From you, ye Members
Of the Family, and to make
You pure and spotless.
