Unit: Taharah & Wudu · Lesson 13 of 50 · study cards + quiz
Begin with intention
Intend purification in your heart and say "Bismillah". Wash the hands three times, rinse the mouth three times, and sniff water into the nose and blow it out three times.
The four obligatory acts
Wash the face (hairline to chin, ear to ear); wash the arms including the elbows; wipe the head (and ears); wash the feet including the ankles — in this order (Quran 5:6).
Finish with the dua
After Wudu say the Shahada: "Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah… wa anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh." The Prophet ﷺ said the eight gates of Paradise are opened for the one who says it.
