That individual tidied his hair and then returned; the Beloved Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  said, ‘Is this not better than a person coming with messy hair as if he is the Devil.’ (Muwatta Imam Maalik, vol. 2, p. 435, Hadees 1819)

Dear Islamic brothers! From the aforementioned Ahadees, we come to know that: Cleanliness is half of Iman. Islam likes cleanliness. The one who maintains cleanliness will enter Paradise. One should keep his clothes, conveyances and outward appearances clean. One should keep his clothes and hair clean and presentable. As cleanliness is liked by Allah Almighty and His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, hence, it will enter a person into Paradise. The foundation of Islam was based upon cleanliness. It gives a person honour, and the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم explained the person who did not observe cleanliness.

Therefore, alongside keeping their bodies and clothes, etc. free from impurity, every Muslim should also keep them free from dirt too. One should apply fragrant oil to his hair and beard. Do not grow the nails too long as dirt gathers in them, and then it enters the stomach while eating which can give rise to various diseases. Removing the underarm hair, cutting the hair below
