Yusuf Sunnah

Maintaining cleanliness is an important part of Islam. One of the simple Sunnahs practiced by the Prophet ﷺ is using Miswak, a natural tooth-cleaning stick that keeps the mouth clean and fresh.
What is Miswak?
Miswak is a small stick taken from the Salvadora Persica tree. It has been used for centuries as a natural toothbrush and does not require toothpaste.
Hadith About Miswak
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“If I had not found it difficult for my Ummah, I would have ordered them to use the Miswak before every prayer.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
This shows how much the Prophet ﷺ loved this Sunnah.
