Ablution | How To Perform Ablution (Wudu) Step By Step
Cleanliness is an essential component for true Muslims. In Islam, it is a daily practice for Muslims to purify themselves and get rid of all types of impurities via what is known as Ablution Islam or Wudu. To guarantee that this is done, we must first learn how to conduct this ablution correctly, step by step.
Learn all about wudu and how to teach it to your kids with this guide from Noor Academy!
Ablution ( Wudu) is the Islamic ritual of washing, in its broadest sense, refers to the process of cleansing oneself. Muslims before prayer.
Muslims must be clean and wear good clothes before they present themselves before Allah.
start in the name of Allah, and begin by washing the right, and then the left hand three times.
ablution is a practice that focuses on cleaning various areas of the body before Salah (prayer) and reading the Quran.
The mouth is then cleaned three times
Ablution is a type of ceremonial cleansing in Islam. It usually entails washing the mouth, arms, feet, hands, head, nose,
and other body parts with pure water. Overall in Islam, there are three types of ablution.
Fard ablutions apply to Muslims who must complete the ablution as a matter of obligation, particularly before performing any prayer.
Muslims often conduct ablutions five times each day in order to fulfill the five obligatory Salah.
The Quran stated this rule:
“Believers! Do not draw near to the Prayer … until you have washed”
Wajib ablutions are optional; they are only required if you are able to do them.
A notable example of a wajib ablution is the one performed when doing circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba during Hajj.
The mandub ablutions are specific cleaning procedures performed before handling particular sacred scripture texts in Islam.
Mandub ablutions can also refer to the ones you do before going to bed or before waking up.
Aside from its religious significance, ablution has been scientifically shown to be beneficial.
It helps in the elimination of pathogens and disease-causing germs from the skin.
It also protects the tongue and throat from many types of irritation.
In addition, infections and inflammation are held in check in the nostrils.
Ablution also helps to preserve skin structure by removing fatty or oily secretions from the skin.

Alt-text: ablution steps for kids
First, your children must perform proper wudu. Take their hands in yours and do wudu step by step, asking them to imitate you.
The following are the actions you should take:
There are no specific phrases or statements that must be uttered here. Creating a niyyah requires both the heart and the mind.
This is an important stage in the wudu-making process. Before we begin washing,
we must recite Bismillah. (In Allah’s Name.) You can say it quietly to yourself.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed us to begin on our right side. That means you’ll have to wash your right hand three times,
from fingers to wrist. Ensure that the water reaches every portion of the hand. Then, with your left hand, perform the same motions three times.
Rinse your mouth three times with water while holding it in your right hand. This should be done properly to ensure that no food or dirt remains in your mouth.
Snort or inhale the water into your nose three times, then blow it out. You may hurt yourself if you inhale too much water,
so be cautious.
The whole face must be cleaned. That is, from ear to ear and from the top of your forehead to the base of your chin.
This technique should be repeated three times.
From the fingertips to the elbow, wash your right arm three times. Make certain that no region is left dry.
Then, three times with your left arm, repeat the process.
This is done only once. Move your wet hands from the top of the head to the back of the head, and then back to the top of the head;
for women, a moist hand on the upper sections of hair is sufficient.
Wipe the inside of your ears with your index fingers and the region behind your ears with your thumb using damp hands.
This is also only done once.
We’ll also wash our feet three times, just as we did our hands. Begin with the toes of your right foot and work your way up to and include your ankle.
Make sure that water gets into every portion of the right foot, especially the region between the toes and the back of the ankle.
Repeat with the right foot three times, then with the left foot three times. If you’re wearing socks, gently wipe the top of your right foot with your right hand. This is done only once, and then the process is repeated with the left foot.
You who believe! Do not approach the prayer when you are drunk, so that you will know what you are saying, nor in a state of major impurity–unless you are traveling–until you have washed completely. If you are ill or on a journey, or any of you have come from the lavatory or touched women, and you cannot find any water, then take for yourselves clean earth, wiping your faces and your hands. Allah is Ever-Pardoning, Ever-Forgiving.
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed it so that we could do like him. This is essential because Prophet Muhammad was Allah’s Messenger whose task was to deliver Allah’s message to mankind and show them how to practice it.
If people were to decide for themselves how to worship Allah, even though they all believed in His oneness, there would be as many ways of worship as there are people, and there would be as many groups as there are teachers and leaders.
But Allah wants believers to be one community, united by their faith and their worship, as well as by their sense of belonging to the divine faith. Hence, He sent them a messenger to teach them His revelations and the wisdom imparted to him by Allah.
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) companions realized all this as well as their duty to communicate to other believers what they learned from the Prophet. Thus, we have many reports telling us how the Prophet performed every act of worship. Ablution, or wudhu, is required for prayer, and it counts as an act of worship.
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made sure that he was seen performing ablution by many of his companions so that they would show it to others. Humran ibn Aban who served Uthman ibn Affan, the third caliph, reports:
“I saw Uthman performing his ablution, and he poured water over his hands three times to wash them, before rinsing his mouth, blowing his nose, and washing his face three times. He then washed his right hand up to the elbow three times; then he washed his left hand likewise. He wiped his head before washing his right foot three times than his left foot in the same manner.
He then said that he saw Allah’s Messenger performing his ablution in the same way before saying: ‘Whoever performs ablution like I have done and follows that with praying two rak’ahs during which he concentrates fully on his prayer, will be forgiven by Allah all his past sins.”
(Related by Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Al-Nassaie and Abu Dawood).
Islam is a practical faith, and Allah in His Mercy does not ask of us more than we can handle. If water is unavailable, or if one has medical reasons for which ablution with water would be harmful, one may perform a more minimal ablution with clean, dry sand. This is called “tayammum” (dry ablution)
Dry ablution is also called Tayammum. Islam legalized this for people who need to perform Salah where there’s no water available or the available water is unpure.
Here’s how you can perform tayammum:
To teach your kids the specific circumstances that Tayammum is allowed and prohibited in Islam, enroll them in Islamic studies lessons for kids in Noor Academy. Learning Islamic studies online for kids is your convenient way of upbringing your children on the right teachings of Islam.
We read Shahadah and dua after ablution. We utter Shahada and dua after wudu to imitate Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He used to say:
“Ash-hadu anna la ilaha illal lahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh”
Following Shahadah, he (PBUH) would recite the following dua:
“Allahummaj’alni minat-tawwabeen wa ij-alnee minal mutatahireen”
