Introduction

Regular Daily Ablution (Wudu') and prayer have health benefits and it is a direct connection with Allah. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) said: “Cleanliness is half of faith”, that protect ourselves from the infectious disease [1]. Regular daily ablution (Wudu') is an Arabic word means the specific action of washing certain body parts has importance. Muslims are perform regular daily ablution (Wudu') before prayer five times per day. As well pathogenic microorganisms can enter in the body through mouth, nose and eyes directly or indirectly from contaminated hands and foots. So regular daily ablution (Wudu') significantly reduce different infections microorganisms roles from oral cavity infections, intestinal infections, skin and eyes, respiratory infections. That including present pandemic Coronavirus as "breaking the chain of transmission". Personal hygiene is one of the important practices in breaking the chain, in Islam it has been ordered in Quran and Hadith. Regular daily ablution (Wudu') five times per day provide good hygiene and prevent the microbial infections. Therefore it is educate people about the importance and basic steps of regular daily ablution (Wudu') for great personal hygiene [2]. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) introduced the quarantining and hygiene practice as regular daily ablution (Wudu') to combat the infection diseases and also now and then prevent the Coronavirus infection spread, that connected with an Islamic managing [3]. Meanwhile, water penetration into the nasal cavity and out during regular daily ablution (Wudu') corresponds to the nasal rinse and gargling methods, which prevents the mechanical and chemical attachment of Coronavirus. So Islamic-based nasal rinse and gargling help Coronavirus infection prevention [4]. Coronavirus infection prevention are currently closely related to the advice of Muslims against hygiene orders. Various efforts are currently being made by all governments in the world for preventing and breaking the chain of distribution of Coronavirus infection including WHO. That motivated to prevent the Coronavirus infection spread from the teachings of Islam. That was Coronavirus prevention protocol policy and its relationship on regular daily ablution (Wudu') as an prevention effort in Government policies and various institutions. So, regular daily ablution (Wudu') as a disciplinary activity for Muslims emphasis on clean and healthy lifestyle in preventive Coronavirus infection efforts [5]. 

The aim of the current research was for Moslem individuals to follow up on performing regular daily ablution (Wudu') and adhere to it. Also the extent of its impact on the health protection of the individual and Saudi society from infectious microbial diseases. As well as to reduce and protect the individual and Saudi society from infection with the Coronavirus during the pandemic

Methodology

The "Study Competency" was utilized on the Muslim individual in KSA, the “Informed Material" was braced the questionnaires from this paper aim; (Table 1) [6]. The "Coupled Assessment" was utilized for the content and study decency. The "Reaching Study Question Consequences" were amassed, then the "Moderate Excel Packet" was defined the outcome [7].

Results and Discussion

Table 2 and graph 1: Questionnaire results for regular daily ablution (Wudu') consequence on reduction Coronavirus infection during pandemic in Saudi Society

Table 2 and graph 1 conferred questionnaire results for regular daily ablution (Wudu') consequence on reduction Coronavirus infection during pandemic in Saudi Society, regular daily ablution (Wudu') is one of the basic steps for prayer and getting rid of the body secretions or any microbial contamination related to body organs [8]. The questionnaire was conducted in the Saudi Muslim community for the first time in KSA and that had the honor to perform that questionnaire on the Muslim brothers and sisters in the KSA holy country. The questionnaire was conducted for participants during the Coronavirus pandemic in KSA to estimate the value of regular daily ablution (Wudu') and its impact on health protection from infection for an individual and the Saudi society [9]. The first question was “Perform regular daily ablution for prayer”; it was 100% found that all an individuals participating in the questionnaire perform regular daily ablution (Wudu'). This is evidence of the strength of belief and Islam in an individuals [10]. As for the second question was ”Urges an individuals to perform regular daily ablution”; it was 97% they urged an individuals to perform regular daily ablution (Wudu') or update ablution (Wudu') for prayer. It may 3% be that not all of the participants go to mosques or be among the participating women who pray at home [2] The third question was “Regular daily ablution helps to clean the body organs well”; it was 92% clarifies and this confirms that almost all are less than 8% of the importance of cleaning through regular daily ablution (Wudu'), and it is a way to clean the body’s organs during the process of regular daily ablution (Wudu') [1]. The fourth question was “Regular daily ablution is one of the ways to sterilize with running water”; that showed 81% of more than three-quarters of the participants, because the running water does not contain any of the materials used for sterilization, and their thinking may be more scientific than others, but running water is one of the good and useful cleaning materials [11]. The fifth question was “Regular daily ablution is improved an individual health status”; it was 80% approved by more than three quarters, as it purifies the organs that are used by an individual and is considered the entrance to the body organs of microbial infection. That such as the mouth, nose, eyes, face and ear. Also, regular daily ablution (Wudu') treats the extremities used to touch things and work, such as the hands to the elbows and feet. The regular daily ablution (Wudu') removes any pollutants that affect the health of an individual [2-5, 12]. The sixth question was “Regular daily ablution helps to reduce an individual pathogenic microorganisms infection”; it was 81% soon everyone agreed, as a result of regular daily ablution (Wudu'), washing the organs three times for each member, repeating ablution (Wudu') five times per day, or updating ablution (Wudu'), as these include the entrances to the bodily devices and the bodily limbs used by the body as well. Thus, pollutants are reduced, the most important of which are pathogenic microbes or their source on the body of an individual [2-5, 13]. The seventh question was “Regular daily ablution is one of the ways to protect an individual health from microbial diseases”; it was 86% stated that almost all of the participants in order to protect an individual from microbial diseases. The first step to protect against microbial diseases is to eliminate the source of pollution, clean the entrances to the bodily devices, and remove contamination from the bodily extremities. Regular daily ablution (Wudu') is one of the methods of ablution (Wudu') that helps to clean an individual and reduce the source of microbes that cause microbial diseases, and therefore it is one of the important ways for an individual to protect him from microbial diseases [2-5, 14]. The eighth question was “Regular daily ablution helps the success of “Health Precautionary Measures” to prevent Coronavirus infection” it was 82% the percentage of approval among the participants was almost four-quarters, an that notice this during the Coronavirus pandemic from the cas an individuals. They frequently cleanse with disinfectants, washing and regular daily ablution (Wudu'). This is the biggest evidence of the importance of regular daily ablution (Wudu') from “Health Precautions” to reduce infection with the Coronavirus during the pandemic in KSA [2-5, 15]. It was found from the ninth question was “Regular daily ablution health way to reduces an individual Coronavirus infection”; it was 86% resulted that more than three-quarters agreed, and this is the biggest evidence of reducing infection with the Coronavirus during the pandemic through the process of regular daily ablution (Wudu'). As it reduces pollution to organs and entrances to bodily devices such as the mouth, nose, eye and ear, which are the ways through which the Coronavirus may be transmitted and infection occurs for an individual [2-5, 16]. The tenth question was “Regular daily ablution healthy ways to reduce and protect Saudi society from Coronavirus infection”; it was 84% proved that more than three-quarters of the participants agreed, and this is a follow-up to the ninth question, as the regular daily ablution (Wudu') of an individuals brings together the result of the Saudi society. This is because of the characteristics of Islam in the regularity of daily ablution (Wudu'), meeting in the mosque and listening to Islamic recommendations to protect the health of Saudi society from microbial diseases. As well as the Coronavirus during the pandemic in KSA [2-5, 17]. As well the regular daily ablution (Wudu') is one of the Islamic habits that helped reduce the infection of an individuals with infectious microbial diseases and also with the Coronavirus during the pandemic in Saudi society. This indicated the importance of regular daily ablution (Wudu') and updating ablution (Wudu') from God’s commands for Muslim individual to protect health, and for an individual to stand for prayer while he does not suffer from any microbial diseases [2-5, 12 & 17].
