Ghusl

Ghusl is an Islamic practice of washing oneself in a certain way. To do ghusl, you start by washing your hands three times. Then you should rinse your mouth and nose three times each. After that, you should wash your whole face three times, starting from your hairline and working down to your chin. Next, you should wash both arms three times starting from the fingertips to the elbows. Then you should take a shower, making sure every part of your body is washed, including your hair. Finally you should make sure you have completely rinsed off all of the soap and water. Ghusl is important in Islam because it helps you to feel spiritually clean.
