∙ 14y agoWe cleanse ourselves before prayer so it is respectful when we pray to God. Also, when we wash our eyes we erase the sins we saw, when we wash our mouth it erases the sins we said, when we wash our hands it erases the sins we did with our hands, and so on.

∙ 14y agoIn praying, one is connected with his/her heart and soul to God , the creator, and that is why praying in Arabic is called "Salat" that means connection to God. If one is going to meet his boss in work or any important official, he/she wears the best cloth that is not only clean but looks respectable. Isn't more logic when meeting with the Creator, one should wear the best clean and respectable cloth?
In addition, one should recognize that Islam emphasizes the importance of cleanliness of body and mind in addition to cloth cleanliness. Quran says (English meaning translation):
Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) says what means:
One should be aware also to perform the ritual minor ablution (wudu) or major ablution (ghosl) as required before praying as part of the required cleanliness.
