Why is it forbidden for the ladies to pray while they have their
period? Some people say that it is because at that time she is not clean.

Beloved, it is important to know that Allah, the Exalted One, is the Merciful. The lady, when she has the period, misses many things from her body. For that reason, Allah, Praised is He and Exalted, gives her the chance to rest. It does not mean that she is not clean, no. She is completely clean because she carries His Face. At the time of her period He gives her the chance to remember His Name and to make istighfar. When Allah sent the Order for her, “Beloved, stop praying,” this is because He knows what happens to her body during her period. It does not mean that He does not give her what she needs or that He takes anything away from her. When she stops praying, it is because she is following the Order of Allah. Who sent for you the Order to pray, and also He has sent the Order for you to take your rest at that time. Also it is important to understand that the soul of the lady is flying completely in a very deep way, for she is in another station during the period and her body feels differently than at other time. She is in the deep praying! And she is again in the deep praying because she is following Allah’s Order.
