What is Wudu? Purpose & Importance of Wudu (The Spiritual Purity)

Wudu/Ablution

Wudu
 All Muslims are required to do the ritual cleansing (wudu) before performing their prayers. We want to make sure that we are in a physical sense, as well as a spiritual sense, �purified� before we face Allah. Prayer is not accepted if you do not perform wudu.

The act of wudu consists of washing the face and the fore-arms, and wiping the head and the feet. These six parts of human body -face, both fore-arms, head and both feet are known as �the organs of wudu�.

Wudu by itself is always a recommendable act in Islamic rituals, but it becomes obligatory in certain cir�cumstances. One of such circumstances is the daily ritual prayers; and therefore it is important for every Muslim to know the method of wudu and its rules.

The following is a summary of the wudu

1. Making the intention (niyyat) in one's mind.

2. (Bismillah), Washing the hands and arms

3. Gargling three times

4. Rinsing the nose three times

5. Washing the face three times

6. Washing the right fore-arm three times

7. Washing the left fore-arm three times

8. Wiping the head and clean the ears

9. Wiping the right foot

10. Wiping the left foot

Importance of Wudu for Muslims

Quran says:


 �O you who believe! When you stand up for ritual prayer (sala), wash your face and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe a part of your head and your feet up to ankles.� (5:6)

 And All�h loves those who make themselves clean and pure and water from urine and stools, after answering the call of nature].  Qur'an - At-Tauba 9:108

 "Surely Allah loves those who turn to Him and those who care for cleanliness" (2:22).

 For touching the writings of the Qur' an: Allah says,

�None shall touch it except the purified ones.� (56:79)

Hadith

 Narrated Nu`am Al-Mujmir:
Once I went up the roof of the mosque, along with Abu Huraira. He perform ablution and said, "I heard the Prophet saying, "On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called "Al-Ghurr-ul- Muhajjalun" from the trace of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution regularly).' "

 The Prophet (SAW) said, "Allah does not accept prayer without purification " (Sahih - Muslim and others)

Quranic verses about Prayer in English - Images

Important Verses on Salah from the Holy Qur�an

Holy Quran


[2:3-5] Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;(3) � And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter (4). They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper (5).

[2:43] And be steadfast in prayer; practise regular charity; and bow down your heads with those who bow down (in worship).

[2:45] Nay, seek (Allah�s) help with patient perseverance and prayer: It is indeed hard, except to those who bring a lowly spirit,-

[2:143] �Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.�

[2:144] �We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens: now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.�

[2:149] �From whencesoever Thou startest forth, turn Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque; that is indeed the truth from the Lord. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.�

[2:150] �So from whencesoever Thou startest forth, turn Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque; and wheresoever ye are, Turn your face thither: that there be no ground of dispute against you among the people, except those of them that are bent on wickedness; so fear them not, but fear Me; and that I may complete My favours on you, and ye May (consent to) be guided;�

[2:153] O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.

Namaz - The important Pillar of Islam

Namaz (Salat)

Prayer
Namaz is the practice of ritualistic prayer in Islam. Its importance for Muslims is indicated by its status as one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

Namaz (salat) is preceded by ritual ablution and usually performed five times a day. It consists of the repetition of a unit called a rak?ah consisting of prescribed actions and words. The number of obligatory (fard) raka??t varies from two to four according to the time of day or other circumstances (such as Friday congregational worship, which has two rakats).
