His body and clothes are clean

The Muslim whom Islam wants to stand out among people is very clean. He has high standards of personal hygiene, bathing frequently by the guidance of the Prophet (SAW) who encouraged people to wash themselves completely and wear perfume, especially on Fridays: “Have a bath on Fridays and wash your heads, even if you are not in the state of janabah (impurity), and wear perfume.” (Bukhari)

Islam wants the Muslim to stand out among people, readily distinguished by his appearance, dress, decent behavior, and good deeds, so that he will be a good example and worthy of the great message that he brings to people.

Among the notable characteristics of Islam is that it guarantees freedom of belief. Allah (SWT) said: “There is no compulsion in the Faith.” (Al-Qur’an 2: 256). Allah (SWT) further adds: “If it had been your Lord’s will, they would have believed – all who are on earth.” (Al-Qur’an 10: 99). Allah (SWT) did not make every human being a believer, without a choice, like the angels. Even the Prophet (SAW) was not allowed by Allah to compel people to become Muslims. Instead, Allah commanded the Prophet (SAW) to invite people to Islam with wisdom and kindness. Allah (SWT) said: “{O’ Prophet} call unto the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way.” (Al-Qur’an 16: 125).
