Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:170O People of the Book! Commit no excesses In your religion: nor say Of God aught but the truth.

Thus doth God make clear To you (His law), lest Ye err. And God Hath knowledge of all things.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:176O 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.
