Learn how to make wudu

 


  • Make your intention (niyyah) to perform wudu

There are no particular words or remarks that need to be made here. It is a matter of the heart and intellect to create the purpose.

  • Say Bismillah

This is a critical phase in the wudu-making process. We must say Bismillah before we begin washing. (In the Name of Allah). You may say it to yourself quietly.

  • Wash Your Hands Three Times

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told us to start with our right side. That implies you’ll have to wash your right hand three times from the fingers to the wrist. Make certain that the water hits every part of the hand. After that, repeat the same moves three times with your left hand.

  • Rinse Your Mouth Three Times

Rinse your mouth three times with water taken in your right grip. Do this thoroughly to ensure that no food or dirt remains in your mouth.

  • Inhale Water Into Your Nostrils Three Times

Three times, snort or inhale the water into your nose and then blow it out. If you take in too much water, you may injure yourself, so be careful.

  • Wash Your Face Three Times

Every part of the face must be cleansed. That is, from ear to ear and from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin. Repeat this procedure three times.

  • Wash Your Arms Three Times

Wash your right arm three times from the fingers to the elbow. Make sure that there is no area left dry. After that, repeat the technique three times with your left arm.

  • Wipe Your Wet Hand On Your Hair

Move your wet hands from the top of the forehead to the back of the head, and then from the back of the head to the top of the forehead; for women,

a wet hand on the first sections of the hair is enough. This is only done once.

  • Clean Your Ears

Using wet hands, wipe the inside of your ears with your index fingers and the area behind your ears with your thumb. This is also done for once.

  • Wash Your Feet Three Times

We will also wash our feet three times as we did with our hands. Begin with your right foot’s toes and work your way up to and include your ankle. 

Ensure that water hits every part of the right foot, particularly the area between the toes and the back of the ankle.

Repeat three times with the right foot, then three times with the left foot.
