:Islam preserves the
:symbolic body cleaning. Christians believe that the cleanliness
:of heart and soul is more important than that of the body,

As do Muslims believe. However, the cleaniless of the body is
important as well. It is important for Muslims to wash before
praying, but not more important than the prayer itself.
If we were not to find any water or clean earth to physically
purify with, we are allowed to pray anyway. Islam is not
difficult.

:since our body is only a temporary 'structure'. When we die we
:all know the body decays, but for those of us that believe in
:salvation our soul is saved.

Indeed. However eventhough when we die the body decays we must
still care for it when we are alive. Our bodies are a gift from
the Almighty.

Salaam.
