Handwriting

By cleanliness we mean the habit of keeping physically and

mentally clean. A smartly dressed person with clean habits creates
an impression on others. It usually reflects a clean character also. In
other words, a persons character can be assessed by the way he
dresses. People with good character are usually pious and godfearing. They stick to certain morals in their life. Thus, having a god
fearing or clean heart is the first step to being godly. In other words,
godliness
should
begin
from
the
heart.
All religions insist on cleanliness before worship. This is because
cleanliness is the first important thing in being near to God.
