  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    O ye who believe! Approach not prayers With a mind befogged, Until ye can understand All that ye say, Nor in a state Of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), Until after washing Your whole body. 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. For God doth blot out sins And forgive again and again.

    Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:43
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    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.

    Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:6
