Explanatory translation

4And while carrying out this duty of conveying the message, purify your inner self. Begin conveying the message and warning with yourself first; always keep your surroundings and your outward appearance clean. Just as you keep your material clothing clean, keep clean also your spiritual clothing, which symbolizes your personality and character. Let your clothing be clean and in harmony with the loftiness of your call. Purify your body, your desires, and your cravings of filth; do not become tainted with shirk and denial. If you do not listen to your Lord and act according to Our laws, you cannot cleanse yourself. Know that everything your Lord has described as evil and has forbidden is filth.
