About Wudlu Before Prayer in Islam

About Wudlu before Pray In Islam

Many people does'nt understod about way of wudlu..so i think i must give them how to do :

1.     Make the intention for Wudhu, “I am performing Wudhu for Allah (SWT)”.

Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) has said, “Every action is based on Intention, and everyone shall have what he intended”. [Bukhari]
Note: Intention doesn’t need to be uttered verbally or loudly, it is an action of the heart. 

2.     Recite Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem بسم اللھ الرحمن الرحیم 

Amrah (RA) said, “I asked Ayesha (RA) how was the prayer of Rasul-ullah (ﷺ)? She (RA) said, when he (ﷺ) did Wudhu he would put his hand in the water, say Allah (SWT)’s name and then do Wudhu perfectly”. [Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-Musannaf i.12]

It is narrated from Rasul-ullah (ﷺ), “There is no Wudhu for the one who did not mention Allah (SWT)’s name during his Wudhu”. [Tirmidhi]

After recording this Hadeeth Imam Tirmidhi (RA) discusses the authenticity, he narrates:

a)  Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal (RA) said, “I do not know of any Hadeeth on this subject that has a good chain of narration

b) Imam Bukhari (RA)said, “The best thing on the subject is the above-mentioned Hadeeth

Note: Hasan Al-Basri (RA) said, “One should mention Allah (SWT)’s name when one does Wudhu, if one doesn’t Wudhu is still valid”. [Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-Musannaf i.12]

3.     Each action of Wudhu should be started from the right hand side.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) said, “When you put on clothing or do Wudhu, begin with the right hand side”. [Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah]

4. Wash both hands up to the wrists three times.
Aws ibn Abi Aws (RA) said, I saw Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) do Wudhu and he washed his hands three times. [Al-Nasai]

5. Use a Miswak to clean the teeth.
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) said, “Were it not to be hardship on my community, I would have ordered them to clean their teeth for every Wudhu [Bukhari]

Note: It is part of Sunnah that one who has no teeth may use his fingers to clean his mouth.

Aisha (RA) asked: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), how should a toothless person cleanse his mouth? He (ﷺ) replied, “By putting his fingers into his mouth”. [Al-Tabarani as cited in Majma al-zawaid]

6. Gargle three times.

Abd Al-Rahman Al-Taymi (RA) reported, “Ibn Abi Mulaykah (RA) was asked about Wudhu. He said, “I saw Uthman ibn Affan (RA) who was asked about Wudhu. He called for water. A vessel was then brought to him. He poured water upon his right hand. Then he put his right hand in the water (to scoop up the water), then he rinsed his mouth three times and cleansed his nose with the water three times and washed his face three times. He then put his hand in the water and took it out; then he wiped his head and ear inside and out only once. The he washed his feet ad said, “Where are those who asked about Wudhu? I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing Wudhu like this.””” [Muslim]

We said, “What will he do with water when he has already offered Salah- perhaps to teach us.” A utensil containing water and a washbasin was brought to him. He poured water from the utensil on his right hand and washed both hands three times, rinsed the mouth, and snuffed up water and cleansed the nose three times.

During this month, healthy Muslim adults observe Fasting during the daylight hours. Muslim Fasting is a total abstention from eating, drinking, and sexual relations from dawn to dusk for 29 or 30 days of the month of Ramadan. Also, avoiding immoral behavior and anger and showing compassion is part of the requirements of the fasting. of fasting is manifold. Allah (the God Almighty) mentioned in the Holy Book of the Muslims, Quran, that the fasting is prescribed for the believers as it was prescribed for the people before them, so that they may acquire self control and God-consciousness. Therefore, the purpose of the fasting is to develop God-consciousness, self-control, improvement of health by reducing or eliminating impurities from the body, and to become aware of the plight of the poor, hungry, and the sick. Ramadan is a month of spiritual consciousness and high sense of social responsibility. The fulfillment of one's obligations during the month is rewarded by 70 times. Fasting is one of of Islam including Announcement of Faith, Salaat (praying 5 times a day), Zakaat (the right of the poor on the wealth of the financially able), Fasting during the month of Ramadan, and Hajj (once a life time pilgrimage to Kaaba).

It is an obligation on every adult and healthy Muslim to fast during the month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is also the month in which the Holy Quran was sent down from 7th level of heaven to the 1st level, from where it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in piecemeal basis over a period of 23 years. It is a very joyous occasion for the Muslims of the world. Muslims fast during the day and pray and read Quran during the part of the night. There is a special night called, which is mentioned in the Quran, as a night of mercy and light and worshiping during this night is better than 1,000 months. During this night Quran was sent to the 1st level of heaven. Allah (the God Almighty) send down special angels during this night to pray for the mercy of Allah (the God Almighty) and salvation for the believers.

Unlike common calendar, which is Solar based, Islamic calendar is Lunar based. It does not mean that Muslims worship moon. It is simply another way to count days of the month and the year. Like all Islamic months, Ramadan, the 9th lunar month, begins after sighting Crescent, and not the birth of the new moon. All healthy Muslim adult including homemakers, school-going kids around the age of 13, factory workers, businessmen and others among them will be fasting. Muslim get up very early to take their sahoor, a pre-dawn meal before starting their fast.

At the completion of month of Fasting, Muslims all over the world celebrate their holiday a true thanksgiving for a Muslim believer for having the opportunity to obey Allah (the God Almighty) by observing Fasting. It is celebrated on the 1st day of 10th lunar month, Shawwaal. The holiday begins with Muslims putting on their best preferably new clothes and going to the Eid congregation. Eid congregations are very large gathering of Muslim men, women and children across the world. Afterwards, people greet each other with hugs and handshakes. The children receive gifts. After the congregation, Muslims visit each other at their homes and hold lunches or dinners for family and friends.

Thanks a lot
