A reminder of Allah's divine plan and the miracle of creation.
In Islamic culture, the name "Nidah" refers to the holy period when a menstruating woman is considered impure and must stay away from the Masjid (mosque) and other religious gatherings. She can only resume prayers and attend religious activities once her menstrual cycle is over and she has taken a Ghusl ( ritual bath). This practice is based on Hadith and Quranic verses that emphasize the importance of cleanliness and keeping oneself pure before Allah (God).
