This is with reference to the report “Miswak: Sticking with tradition (July 12). The article was very informative and highlighted the importance of miswak. Cleaning teeth with miswak on a regular basis removes stains and strengthen the gums and the teeth. One of my friends gums used to bleed. Somebody advised him to use miswak and he was cured. This does not mean that people should stop consulting dentists. The point I wish to make here is that with the regular use of miswak, one can maintain the health of his teeth and gums effectively. It is also a beloved Sunnah of our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). Various Hadiths tell us about the reward of using miswak during ablutions. Miswak, therefore, should be considered a blessing. — Anees Lokhande, Alkhobar
