Before each prayer (Salat )



  1. A Muslim begins every action with intention.  To yourself, make the intention to cleanse yourself for prayer, for the sake of Allah.
  2.  To yourself, say "Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem" (In the name of  Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful). 
  3. Wash your hands three times, making sure the water reaches between the fingers and all over the hands. 
  4.  Bring a handful of water to your mouth and rinse it thoroughly three times.
  5. Sniff water into your nose three times to clean it.  Use your right hand to bring up the water, and your left hand to expel it.

Tips:



  • Only a small amount of water is needed for wud'u, and Muslims are not to be wasteful. Fill a small  water container, or your sink, and do not leave the water running.
  • It is recommended to perform a two-rakah prayer after completing wud'u
