Wadu (Ablution) Azkar




Step-by-Step Wudu (Ablution)

  1. Make Intention (Niyyah) - > No verbal declaration is required.

  2. Say Bismillah (In the name of Allah) -> Say بِسْمِ اللهِ (Bismillah) before beginning.

  3. Wash Hands ->  Wash both hands up to the wrists three times. ->  Ensure water reaches between fingers and all parts of the hands. 

  4. Rinse Mouth -> Take water into your mouth and rinse thoroughly three times.

  5. Cleanse the Nose -> Sniff water into your nose and blow it out three times.

  6. Wash the Face -> Wash from the hairline to the chin and from ear to ear three times.

  7. Wash the Arms -> Wash the right arm up to and including the elbow three times, then the left.

  8. Wipe the Head -> Wet your hands and wipe the head once from front to back and back to front.-> Also wipe your ears inside and out.

  9. Wash the Feet ->Wash the right foot up to the ankles three times, then the left. -> Make sure water reaches between toes.

Tip: Make sure water reaches every part of the arm. Once wet, rub it well so that all areas are properly covered. You don’t need a lot of water—just enough to reach everywhere.

  • Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

    “Whoever performs ablution well, his sins will come out from his body, even coming out from under his nails.”
    [Sahih Muslim, Hadith 223]

Dua After Wudu

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ


Meaning: “I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.”

“Whoever says this after Wudu, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter through whichever he wishes.” -[Sahih Muslim, Hadith 226]


اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ المُتَطَهِّرِينَ


 Meaning: “O Allah, make me among those who repent and among those who purify themselves.”

Reported by Abu Huraira: The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever performs Wudu and says this, Allah will make him among the repentant and purified.”
[Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith 156]

 

سُبْحَانَكَ اللّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

“Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise. I bear witness that there is no deity except You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.”
