How to make Wudu A Step By Step Guide :

What is Wudu?

We must intellectually, physically, and spiritually prepare ourselves before we may offer salah. Known as wudu, this recipe consists largely of it. Every Muslim has to go through this cleansing procedure before they can offer prayers.

It is such a crucial component of the salah that anyone choosing to omit it out of ignorance, carelessness, or ignorance will have their prayer rejected by Allah.

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

“No salah is accepted without wudu (purification)”

Sahih Muslim, Book 2, Hadith 2

How to make Wudu ?

Wudu Steps:

• Step 1:

In order to conduct salah, you must first realize that you are about to start the wudu process. This is when no special remarks or words of wisdom are needed. Developing the intention is a mental and emotional process.

• Step 2:

This is an essential step in the wudu process. It is necessary for us to say Bismillah (In the Name of Allah) before starting to wash ourselves. You can tell yourself that in silence.

• Step 3:

It is taught by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) to start from our right side. This indicates that you will require three washes of your right hand, from the fingertips to the wrist.

Ensure that the entire hand is submerged in water. Then, three times with your left hand, repeat the same motions.

• Step 4:

Rinse your mouth three times with water that you took into your right hand. To ensure that your mouth is thoroughly cleaned, do this.

• Step 5:

Sniff some water into your nose with your right hand.

Here, we’ve used the word “sniff” to help you understand what we mean. Three times, you must snort, or inhale the water into your nose, then expel it. Avoid consuming excessive amounts of water since this could lead to injury.

• Step 6:

It is necessary to wash every area of the face. This refers to the area between your ears and the region between your forehead and chin. Repeat these three steps.

When washing your face, run your damp hands through your beard if you’re a man with a beard.

• Step 7:

Wash your right arm three times, starting at the fingertips and working your way up to the elbow. Ensure that no area remains dry. Then, repeat the same procedure three times with your left arm.

• Step 8:

Step 8 instructs you to “wipe” rather than “wash” your head. Here, the word choice was deliberate. With your hands still damp, move them from the forehead’s top to the back of the head, and back again. It is only done once.

What kind of hair you have is irrelevant. The procedure is the same whether you have long or short hair.

• Step 9:

The water from step 8 should be used for this step. You will wipe the inside of your ears with your index fingers and the area behind them with your thumb when using your damp hands.This is done only once.

• Step 10:

We’ll wash our feet three times, just like we did with our hands. Wash your right foot starting at the toes and going all the way up to your ankle. Ensure that water contacts all parts of the right foot, particularly the space between the toes and the rear of the ankle. Repeat this three times using your right foot, then three times using your left foot.

Dua after Wudu

“أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ”

“Ash-hadu ‘an laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu wa ‘ash-hadu ‘anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasooluhu.”

“I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner; and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.”

Important Notes:

• Keeping a certain order is essential when making wudu. An ablution could be rendered void if the order is broken.
• Sincere and focused effort should be put into each of the aforementioned actions, since they all show your desire to purify oneself in preparation for worship.
• Before continuing with your acts of devotion, you must repeat the entire wudu if you break your ablution during it (for example, by passing gas or using the restroom).

Conclusion:

In Islam, wudu, also known as ablution, is a vital and necessary ritual that represents cleanliness, spiritual preparedness, and unity with Allah. It is a procedure that enables Muslims to keep ritual cleanliness and get ready for acts of devotion like prayer. Making wudu is a spiritual act of devotion as well as a physical purification. Muslims are reminded of the value of purity, intention, and mindfulness in their daily lives as they participate in this lovely rite.
