Wudu



Wudu is cleaning which occurs before Muslims preform Salah, which are the daily prayers.

It is a long and interesting process it begins by stating the purpose of your cleansing so “I wish to be clean so I can preform Salah”, the person then says "Bismillah" which means in the name of Allah.
The first part of your body to be washed is the hands. You start with your right hand washing up to your wrist; you do this three times making sure that you clean in-between your fingers and then you do it to your left hand.

You then cup water in your right hand and rinse your mouth three times.
The person splashes water up their nose with their right hand and blows it out three times.
The face is the next part of the body to be washed, you rinse it three times and you need to make sure you also wash both ears and under your chin.
Wash from your wrist to your elbow three times and make sure that no part of your arm is left unwashed. With your wet hands slide them along your head from your forehead to your neck and bring then back to your forehead. In the same movement wash out the ear hole with you index finger and rub the back of the ear with your thumb bottom to top.
Lastly wash each foot three times making sure to get in-between each toe.

Once you have finished this procedure you are cleansed and you can preform your prayers.
