4 Stages of Purity: What Level Do You Have?

Know that God loves the pure, and that purity has four levels.

1- The lowest level is keeping the body in clothing physically clean.

2- The next level is the purification of the body from sinful acts such as lying, adultery, and others.

3- The next level is the purification of the heart from its diseases such as envy, pride, greed, and so on.

4- The highest level is the purification of the heart from everything but God.
