Knight and Day

Knight and Day is a 2010 American action spy romantic comedy film starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The film, directed by James Mangold, is Cruise and Diaz's second on-screen collaboration following the 2001 film Vanilla Sky. Diaz plays June Havens, a classic car restorer who unwittingly gets caught up with the eccentric secret agent Roy Miller, played by Cruise, who is on the run from the CIA.

The film's investors offset funding costs by paying Cruise a lower advance fee and providing him a share of revenue only after the financiers were repaid their investment in the production. Filming took place in several locations, mainly in several cities located in Massachusetts, while other scenes were filmed in Spain and parts of Austria.

Knight and Day was released in the United States on June 24, 2010. The film received mixed reviews from film critics and was a success at the box office, grossing over $261 million worldwide.

The film was officially remade in Bollywood with Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles titled Bang Bang! and released on 2 October 2014.

Wudu

Wuḍūʾ (Arabic: الوضوء‎ al-wuḍūʼ IPA: [wʊˈdˤuːʔ]; Persian: آبدست‎‎ ābdast Urdu: وضوء‎ / ALA-LC: wuz̤ūʾ IPA: [wʊzuː]; Turkish: abdest; Albanian: abdest; Bengali: অযু ôzu; Indonesian: wudhu; Chechen: Ламаз эцар; Bosnian: abdest; Kurdish: destniwêj (دەست نوێژ)‎; Somali: weeso) is the Islamic procedure for washing parts of the body using water, typically in preparation for formal prayers (salat), but also before handling and reading the Qur'an. Wuḍūʾ is often translated as "partial ablution", as opposed to ghusl, or "full ablution".

Purification of the body and clothes is called taharah. To have taharah for the body, one should do either ghusl or wuḍūʾ.

Contentions

Muslims who are unable to perform the prevailing form of ablution, due to skin disease or a disability, are recommended to perform tayammum. Such an alternative form of ritual purity also be accepted in cases where one fears the acquisition of hypothermia in cold weather.

Basis in Quran and hadith

The Qur'an says "For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean." In regard to Muslims being required to be clean when handling and reading the Qur'an, the Qur'an says "Which none shall touch but those who are clean." The Islamic prophet Muhammad said that "Cleanliness is half of faith".
