- 10 - ISLAM COMMANDS NOT ONLY THE CLEANLINESS OF BODY, BUT ALSO CLEANLINESS OF THE ENVIRONMENT. From Instructions of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih II, “I have ordered that streets should be kept wide because it is proven from the Traditions of the Holy Prophet that he said that the streets should be wide. For the moment, I have instructed that the lanes in residential areas that join on to the streets should be fteen to twenty feet wide. These are not meant for the use of vehicles. The streets that can be used for the vehicles are thirty feet wide and main roads are kept fty feet wide. The width of roads in Darul Anwaar is seventy-ve feet. But, as far as the cleanliness is concerned, we cannot do anything. Unfortunately, these roads get potholes and some people remove the soil from the roads to plaster their homes. Because of this defect, cleaning the roads becomes an impossibility. On top of that many house owners dispose of the rubbish and even faeces on the roads. This produces ies and mosquitoes that produce fever. The faeces of sick children are then thrown on the roads and ies act as carriers to spread the diseases further.
