Do You Use Miswak Stick?

Why milk and not the urine?

It is not mandatory for a Muslim to drink camel urine. It is just in a hadith.

Camel milk looks delicious (saw some photos on Google Images).

What I am asking is that both Camel urine and milk are mentioned yet you focus milk. Why is that? Are you saying that drinking urine is disgusting?

I am not going to call it disgusting. It is just that I drink a lot of milk and I want to try out milks from other animals (if halal).

You don’t think drinking is disgusting and a health risk?

You don’t think drinking is disgusting and a health risk?

Not at all. I do not think it is disgusting and I don't think it possesses health risk. Many people drink it and I doubt everyone gets sick. People who get sick probably do so for other reasons.

As a matter of fact, I will not be surprised if it turns out to be cure for many complex diseases (including cancer).

I don't trust big pharma companies and their sponsored "researches".

You’ve convinced me.

Using miswak is not a sunnah; the sunnah is to practice oral hygiene.

The Prophet (pbuh) used miswak because there was no toothpaste and mouthwash etc. in 7 CE.

Using miswak today because it is a sunnah is like riding a camel and sleeping on a bed made out of palm leaves. It serves absolutely no purpose.

Just to pick you up on an incorrect analogy here.
There are lots of hadith that tell you the virtues of using a miswak, but none about sleeping on bed made out of palm leaves and riding a camel.
That's why people continue to use it, and not necessarily ride camels

Lost all hope for muslims around the world

That is because there was no toothpaste, mouthwash, floss etc. at that time. Hence, the Prophet PBUH emphasized on the benefits of miswak.

Don't worry about it mate, I'm unsure you get what I'm trying to say

What is your point? That miswak is good for your teeth or is better than modern dental products?

 

[Abdullah]

What is your point? That miswak is good for your teeth or is better than modern dental products?

It was the analogy of yours where u said it's the same as why people don't use camels and leave woven beds today.

It's not, because there are virtues for using miswak ( and not general oral hygiene)
With conveyance there are virtues about what you supplicate when you mount ( whatever it may be- not necesarily a camel)
The prophet didn't mention general oral hygiene virtues but specifically virtues of using miswak. Hence there's a difference.

Why do you think he used miswak to clean his teeth. Did he have any alternatives?

 

[Abdullah]

Do you get my point about your analogy?
That's the only reason I participated , in this.
He didn't have the modern day alternatives, no

Correct. He didn’t have alternatives which is why he used miswak. That does not mean that it is better the modern day products. I am not implying that miswak is not beneficial at all - my point is that it does not have any exclusive benefits.

Using miswak to clean your teeth is as much a sunnah as riding a camel to go from one place to another.

 

[ataullah]

Miswak is way better than modern day tooth brush and toothpaste. An elder i know has never even visited a dentist and the reason is he uses miswak.

 

[Abdullah]

That's where it's different. The virtues mentioned for miswak are very different to any about riding camels.

After using miswak for the past 6 months, I am here to tell you guys my experience.

All my dental problems have disappeared. I used to have severe gum pain and miswak stick has eliminated that completely. My teeth also look and feel healthier than before.

I highly recommend using miswak stick along with regular toothpaste and mouthwash.

 

[JaDed]

I used Vico turmeric the only toothpaste without chemicals Nd my gum bleeding stopped this is after using all the “special” toothpastes.

So atleast for items organic and old South Asian stuff is good!

 

[sweep_shot]

I recently received some miswak sticks as gifts. I am loving these.

I still use regular toothpaste but I also use miswak sticks. My teeth feels good whenever I use miswak.
