Ablutions, or known as Wudhu. Is the Islamic procedure for washing parts of the body using water, typically in preparation for formal prayers (salat), but also before handling and reading the Qur'an. Wuḍūʾ is often translated as "partial ablution", as opposed to ghusl, or "full ablution".
Muslims who are unable to perform the prevailing form of ablution due
to skin inflammation or scaling or a disability, they are recommended to
perform tayammum.
The
Qur'an says "For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He
loves those who keep themselves pure and clean." In regard to Muslims
being required to be clean when handling and reading the Qur'an, the
Qur'an says "Which none shall touch but those who are clean." The
Islamic prophet Muhammad said that "Cleanliness is half of faith".
How to Perform Ablutions?
The
water must also be pure (taahir), for impure (naajis) water cannot be
used for wudoo’. One must also remove anything that could prevent water
from reaching the skin and nails, such as nail polish.
- Declare the intention for Wudhu in your heart
- Say Bismillah (In the Name of Allah).
- Wash the right hand up to and including the wrists. Make sure to while rub and rub between the fingers of the hand. And thus make sure no part of the hand is left dry. Three times [Then do the same with the left hand. (also three times)]
- Make a cup with the right hand then from this hand take water into your mouth and swirl it inside the mouth and then expel out of mouth. then sniff remaining water from the cupped right hand and sniff water into the nose and then blow the water out and using the left hand remove the water from your nose. Do this three times
- Wash the face three times, from the hairline to the jawbone and chin, and from start of the ear to start of the ear
- Wash the right arm up to and including the elbow. Three times.
- Wet your hands in water, Place both hands at the front of the head (beginning of hairline) and wipe the head backwards until you reach the nape. Then bring them back to the front of the head (beginning of hairline). This is done once only. [With regard to a woman’s hair, she should wipe it whether it is loose or braided from the front of her head to the roots of the hair at the nape and then bring forward as above, but she does not have to wipe the entire length of her hair.]
- Clean the ears by inserting the tips of the index fingers into the ears. Twist them round the folds of the ears. Then wipe the back of the ears with your thumbs. From bottom of the ear upwards. ONCE ONLY
- Wash the right feet up to and including the ankles, three times,
The Du'aa After the Ablutions
Ashhadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluhu.
( I
bear witness that there is no god except Allaah alone, with no partner
or associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and
Messenger.)
Allaahumm aj’alni min al-tawwaabeena waj’alni min al-mutatahhireena
( O Allaah, make me one of those who repent and make me one of those who purify themselves)
