Water: purification in religion and culture

Water has a great importance as a cleansing agent in many cultures and religions. It is important not only for physical hygiene, but also for spiritual purification. Many believers perform rituals to cleanse their soul from sins and negativity.

In Hinduism, for example, bathing in the Ganges is an important purification practice. They take a bath in the river to rid their soul of sins and complete their spiritual purification.

In Judaism, there is the ritual of the mikvah, a ritual bath taken for various purposes such as physical cleansing after menstruation or spiritual cleansing before special holidays.

In Christianity there is the sacrament of baptism, where water is used as a symbol of cleansing from sins.

In many indigenous cultures, water is used for purification rituals to cleanse the body and soul. For example, in North American culture, the Sweat Lodge is used to sweat and cleanse the body.

In Islam, purity is a central part of the faith. Muslims perform daily ablutions.

BIDETLITY AND RITUAL PURITY

"Allah loves the repentant, and He loves those who keep themselves pure." [9:108]

Did you know that part of the basic purity of every Muslim is to perform ablution after every act of urination, ideally with water?

Did you know that this is not just about general prayer washing [wûdu], but about basic purity?

In practice, this means that whenever something leaks from the Muslim's natural organs of excretion, he has lost the state of purity.

• the removal of these impurities is therefore a precondition of general physical purity
• the removal of this impurity [Nāgãsa] is recommended primarily with water, pure water

One tradition states:

(.....) Anas Ibn Malik(r) reported:

"When the Prophet(sas) went out to take a leak, I followed him(sas) accompanied by a boy, and each of us carried a small water hose."

So we see that despite the variety of cleaning methods, cleaning with water is the preferred option, as it removes all traces of impurities.

This is where BIDETLITY comes in.

If you are Muslim, you probably have the same Struggle in your daily life as most of us:

• Watering can or PET bottle belongs to your bathroom equipment
• keep pure on the road or when traveling is not so easy
• at work/university you don't dare to go to the toilet with a PET bottle

BIDETLITY also makes everyday life easier for us Muslims and thus the observance of our rituals!

BIDETLITY is:

• visually aesthetic and fits into any interior
• perfect for work / university
• ideal for on the road (rollable)
• an extreme simplification of purity
• easy to handle for children
• practical & effective due to the bent head
• economical (replaces wet wipes/ reduces the use of toilet paper
