Dear Respected Brothers & Sisters. [/center]
I was not sure which area of the forum, i would put this folder under, but have decided to place in this section, as i know this is one of the more popular sections of the forum that Brothers and sisters browse therefore more people will be able to read this.
I have put together a compilation of the Benefits and sunnah of using Mishwak. Myself, i never previously really used miswak even though i knew there was a lot of benefits of it, but having heard and researched about miskwak and its greats benefits i have mashAllah started using miskwak regularly every day, especially before salaat.
The person who uses miswak before making wuzu and reading Salaat will get reward of reciting 70 salaats :DThis is one of the big reasons i have started using miswak mashAllah and there are countless other rewards and benefits some of which are discussed below.
So if you have not already do so, please do start using miswak and do most you can to gain these easy rewards that are on offer to us.
According to Ahadith and the research of scientists, there are many benefits of using a Miswak. ‘Allama Shaami ‘Alaihir Rahmah has written that using a Miswak has the following benefits:

The benefits and blessings of using Miswak will be obtained no matter what time of the day or night we use it in, but the following 5 times are better for using the Miswak:
What Times Should Miswak be Used?
1. At the time of praying Namaz, even if you have ablution from before.
2. At the time of performing ablution.
3. Before beginning the recitation of the Holy Qur’an.
4. At the time of waking up from sleep.
5. When the smell of the mouth changes whether it is caused by food, drink, eating something with a strong smell, staying quiet for a long time, or talking for a long period of time.
InshAllah, once you start using you will see the benefits not only to your teeth but you mind, body and spiritually.
