<h4>Graffiti in downtown Amman appeals to the faithful</h4>
</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>There is a popular notion that cleanliness is an important part of the Islamic faith, though you wouldn&rsquo;t know it from walking around Jordan. I have never seen people throw coffee cups, half-eaten sandwiches, tissues, etc on the street so carelesslyand often times with such <em>finesse</em>as here in Jordan.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I saw this graffiti while walking around downtown Amman and thought the irony was too much to not share it. Loosely translated (this apparently comes from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith">words, actions, or habits of the prophet Muhammad</a>), it says &ldquo;cleanliness comes from faith&rdquo; (al nadafa min al iman).</p>
