But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands with it} (Al-Ma'idah 6).

The learned Scholar, Sheikh Muhammad al-Kalazi (may Allah sanctify his soul), excelled and bestowed favor in clarifying the meaning of this noble verse in the book Al-Ta'yid, saying:

"The answer is from the book Al-Haqa'iq (The Realities), from Abu Sa'id in the book Al-Ma'arif (The Cognitions), and also in the Risalat al-Salat (Treatise on Prayer):"Indeed, the Prayer (Al-Salat) is the Commander of the Faithful, the Face (Al-Wajh) is the Mim (Muhammad), and the Hands (Al-Ayadi) are the persons of the two Orphans. The Quran has an inward and an outward, and speech has meanings. All that Allah has made obligatory—of prayer, fasting, and pilgrimage—are Persons whom Allah has commanded to be known.
