This document outlines Islamic etiquettes for using the toilet based on teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. It discusses entering and leaving the toilet area with the left foot first while seeking refuge in Allah and asking forgiveness. Relieving oneself is to be done in secluded areas and avoiding facing or turning one's back towards the Qiblah direction. Squatting is recommended over standing when urinating. The right hand should not be used for cleaning and water or dry materials like tissue are permissible options.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Islaamic Etiquettes of Using The
Toilet
As an added note, the word "toilet" in this article refers only to the area
immediately surrounding the place of relief and not, as is commonly understood in
English, the entire bathroom.
1. ENTERING:
As an added note, the Prophet
said, "To put a barrier that will prevent the
jinn from seeing the 'awrah of the sons of Aadam, let any one of you say
'Bismillaah' when entering the toilet." [1]
One should enter the toilet with the left foot first [2] and say whilst entering:
" Bismillãhi, 'allãhumma 'innee 'a`outhu bika minal-khubthi wal
khabã'ithi" [3]
[In the Name of Allaah; my 'ilãh I seek refuge in You from the male, and female
devils (shayateen, which is the plural for shaytan)].
It is known that the jinn like to inhabit places of filth, such as toilets and camel
pens and that is why we have been ordered to seek refuge in Allaah from their
harm when we enter the toilet. [4]
2. SECLUSION:
One should always move and hide away from others when relieving oneself.
Jaabir
relates that, "When the Prophet
felt the need of relieving
himself, he
went far off where no one could see him." [5] He
would also
take the added precaution of not raising his
garment until he
had lowered
would go to a far off place to
himself near the ground [6], since, even tough he
relieve himself
, the area was still open, so there was still the possibility of
being seen. This is an indication of extreme sense of modesty and shyness which
the Prophet
possessed. In contrast, we see the disbelievers, especially the
men, who feel no shame in using public urinals, exposing themselves to everyone.
2. There are certain places which we have been expressly told to avoid when
relieving oneself. The Prophet
said, "Beware of those acts which cause
other to curse." They asked, "What are those acts", he
said, "Relieving
yourself in the people's pathways or in their shade [under trees]." [7] This
hadeeth illustrates beautifully how Islaam safeguards the rights of one and all.
Again, in marked contrast to this, we find the manners of the disbelievers, whose
inconsiderate behavior leaves foul stenches in several phone booths and subways.
Not only that, but they see no wrong in walking their dogs with the specified
purpose of fouling the paths, causing harm and offensive to others.
3. THE PROHIBITION OF FACING THE QIBLAH: [8]
The Prophet
said, "If you go to defecate, do not face the Qiblah nor turn
your back toward it. Instead you should turn to your left side or your
right." [9] Some scholars are of the opinion that this forbidding only applies in
open areas and that if you are in an enclosed place, then there is no harm
relieving yourself facing the Qiblah or with your back towards it. Ibn 'Umar
, said, "If there is between you and the Qiblah, something shielding you,
there is no harm in it." [10]
The more correct opinion however (and Allaah knows best), seems to be that it is
something forbidden in both and open and concealed areas and it is best to refrain
from doing so as far as possible out of respect for the direction which we pray in.
The problem which faces many people regarding this issue is what to do if the
toilets that they use are positioned in such a way that they cannot help but face or
have their back toward the Qiblah. The answer to this can be found in the example
of the Companions
, for they too faced this problem after they had
conquered Shaam (Syria) which had formerly been occupied by the Christians. The
Companions
mentioned that when they had to use these toilets, then
when they came out, they would ask for Allaah's forgiveness. [11]
4. SQUATTING:
It is recommended (mustahabb) to urinate whilst sitting or squatting and not
standing, since this was the usual practice of the Prophet
. [12] It is not
forbidden (haraam) to stand whilst urinating since the Prophet
is also reported
to have done so, but sitting/squatting is better since this is healthier for the body
and because there is less chance of urine splashing onto one's body or clothes.
Great care must be taken to avoid the splatter of urine on oneself, since urine is
something impure. The Prophet
once passed by two graves and said:
"Both are being punished. They are not being punished for major [sins].
One did not shield himself from urine and the other carried gossip." [13]
3. 5. CLEANING:
It is forbidden to use the right hand in order to clean oneself from the impurities of
urine and feces. The Prophet
said, "None of you should touch his privates
with his right hand whilst urinating nor should he wipe of feces with his
right." [14]
As for the material which should be used for cleaning, then we can use either dry
material (i.e. tissue paper, stones, etc.) or water. It is permissible to use one or
the other, or both and out of the two, water is better. This is known by the fact
that the aayah,
"Allaah loves those who make themselves clean and pure"
(Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance) Verse 108)
was revealed in connection with the Ansaar (the Helpers) of the Qoobaa (near alMadeenah) because they would use water to cleanse themselves after going to the
toilet. [15] This was also the usual practice of the Prophet
. [16] There are three
requirements for the dry material if it is to be used to clean oneself: [i] it must be
something pure in itself (i.e. tissue paper, pebbles); [ii] it must not be something
which is respected (i.e. a book) or something which is of use (i.e. food, clothes
etc.); [iii] the private parts must be wiped at least three times with clean parts of
that material. [17] After cleaning the private parts, one should clean one's hands.
Abu Hurayrah
related that after cleansing himself, the Prophet
would
rub his hand on the ground (to clean it) and then he would perform ablution. [18]
6. STEPPING OUT:
The Prophet
would exit the toilet area with his right foot first and seek Allaah's
forgiveness. 'Aa'ishah
say:
reported that when he left the toilet, he would
"Ghufraanaka."
([I ask] Your forgiveness). [19]
May Allaah grant us the ability to model our whole life on that of the Prophet's
and may He bless us with those actions which are pleasing to Him. He is the best
One to ask and the greatest One who responds.
Footnotes:
1. Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 551; Saheeh al-Jaami', 3611
4. 2. Since the toilets in the time of the Prophet
were not confined to a structural building, but
rather the open space was used, there is no proof for entering with the left foot. However, Ibn
Hajar in Fathul Baaree says that "…it may be understood by some by the Prophet's love of
beginning good and pure things with the right hand/side that this (entering the toilet) falls into the
opposite category."

also prohibited relieving oneself in standing water (i.e. swimming

8. The Qiblah is the direction of the Ka'bah in Makka i.e. the direction which Muslims face when we
pray.

bones to clean oneself is also prohibited, the reason being that our brothers for the Jinn find food
on it. [See Buhkharee Volume 5, Book 58, Number 200].
