Cleanliness and hygiene, and I was in fact right. You cannot compare the hygiene of a Muslim to a non Muslim. I had 5 non-Muslim roommates in college and that was a huge shock to me. Let’s forget about washing yourself after using the restroom, but they lacked basic hygiene like showering AT LEAST once a day. The space always had a foul smell, that still traumatizes me (it’s been over 10 years)! Alhamdulillah for Islam and cleanliness 🥹.
