Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation of bathing Janabah meaning? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. In fact, I will also explain some of the benefits of bathing Janabah. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!

Specifically, there are two important things about bathing Janabah meaning and its benefits which I will explain in this article. Two important things I mean are as follows:

Two Meanings of Bathing Janabah

The first important thing about bathing Janabah meaning and its benefits that I will explain now is the two meanings of bathing Janabah. I want you to understand that first before you read any more explanations in this article. Why? The answer is very simple: because it is the basic thing that you must understand if you want to understand the focus of our discussion.

Specifically, the two meanings of the bathing Janabah that I will explain are the literal meaning of the bathing Janabah and bathing Janabah meaning in Islam. The explanation is as follows:

Literal Meaning of Bathing Janabah

The first meaning of bathing Janabah that I will explain is the literal meaning of bathing Janabah. In other words, now I will explain the meaning of the language. The meaning of language is one of the main terms that must be understood by someone who wants to have a detailed discussion of a term. Likewise, take a bathing Janabah.

One important thing that we must understand is that bath Janabah is an Arabic term. The writing is غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَة. In this term there are two words: bath (غُسْلُ) and Janabah (الْجَنَابَةِ). So, those two words we must understand first.

Bath (غُسْلُ)

The first word we must understand is bath (غُسْلُ). Actually, there's not much for me to explain about the meaning of the word. We all understand it. That bathing is wetting the body with water.

Janabah (الْجَنَابَةِ)

The second word we must understand is Janabah (الْجَنَابَةِ). In several previous articles, I have explained that the word has three meanings: dirt, najasah, and a condition of someone who has had sperm or has had sex. But what is meant by Janabah (الْجَنَابَةِ) here is the third meaning (a condition of a person who has had sperm or has had sex).

So, we can conclude that the literal meaning of bathing Janabah (غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ) is a bath that is done to eliminate the condition of someone who has had sperm or has had sex. As Muslims, we must understand that.

Meaning of Bathing Janabah in Islam

The bathing Janabah meaning which I will explain now is bathing Janabah meaning in Islam. In other words, I will explain the meaning of bathing Janabah in Islamic law.

If we have understood the explanation of the literal meaning of bathing Janabah, then we can conclude that, in Islam, the bathing Janabah is a bath performed with the intention of removing major hadas and washing all the body. In the bathing Janabah, there should not be any part of the body that is not washed with water. That is the bathing Janabah in Islam.

In several previous articles I have explained many things about the bathing Janabah. I won't explain that again here. I highly recommend you read it if you haven't already.

That's a brief explanation of the meaning of bathing Janabah in Islam. As Muslims, we must understand that.

Three Benefits of Bathing Janabah in Islam

The second important thing about the meaning of bathing Janabah and its benefits which I will explain now is the three benefits of bathing Janabah. Like several other rituals in Islam, such as ablution, reading the Quran, reading Salawat, reading Istighfar, praying Qabliyah, praying Badiyah, and so on, bathing Janabah also has several benefits.

Before I explain more about the three benefits of bathing Janabah, I want to say that there are actually many benefits of bathing Janabah. What I will explain are some of the general benefits that a Muslim will get who performs the bathing Janabah.

The three benefits of bathing Janabah that I mean are as follows:

Bathing Janabah Can Clean Big Hadas

The first benefit of the bathing Janabah is that the bathing Janabah can cleanse major hadas. In fact, the main purpose why a Muslim should perform the bathing Janabah is to remove major hadas.

Hadas major is a condition experienced by Muslims if they have had sex or have released sperm. It is experienced by Muslim men and Muslim women. For Muslim women, there are several other things that can cause them to have big hadas and they are required to do the bathing Janabah. Some other things I mean are after menstruation and after childbirth.

That's the first benefit of bathing Janabah. As Muslims, we must understand that.

Bathing Janabah Increases Rewards

The second benefit of bathing Janabah is to increase the reward. The point is that the Muslims who perform the bathing Janabah will get a reward. Bathing Janabah is one of the teachings of Islam. Islam obliges all Muslims who have major hadas to do the bathing Janabah. So, if they carry out Islamic orders to them, then they will get a reward. In other words, their reward will increase.

That is the benefit of the second bathing Janabah, as Muslims, we must understand that.

Bathing Janabah Can Be Evidence of Obedience to Islam

The third benefit of bathing Janabah is proof of obedience to Islam. The point is that if bathing Janabah is an obligation for Muslims who have great hadas, and if they do that, carrying out the Islamic commandment to perform bathing Janabah, then it is proof of their obedience to Islam. So, they are devout Muslims.

That's the third benefit of the bathing Janabah. As Muslims, we must understand that.

That is a brief explanation of bathing Janabah meaning and its three benefits. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!

I think that's enough for this article. May be useful. Amen.
