How to Perform Wudu

Step 1: Intention (Niyyah)

You are performing Wudhu for the sake of Allah.

Intention is made in the heart; saying it out loud is not necessary.

Step 2: Say Bismillah

Before starting Wudhu, say:

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem

This reminds us that we are doing Wudhu in the name of Allah.

Step 3: Wash Both Hands

Wash both hands up to the wrists.

Make sure water reaches between the fingers and all parts of the hands.

Step 4: Rinse the Mouth (Kulli)

Take water into the mouth, swirl it around properly, and then spit it out.

Make sure the inside of the mouth is cleaned well.

Take water gently into the nose using the right hand,

Then clean the nose using the left hand.

Make sure no part of the face is left dry.

Step 7: Wash the Arms

First, wash the right arm, then the left arm.

Wash from the fingertips up to the elbows.

Make sure water reaches the elbows properly.

Step 8: Wipe the Head (Masah)

Wet your hands and gently wipe the head once.
Move hands from the front of the head to the back.

Then wipe the inside and outside of both ears with wet fingers.
