Sunnats and Aadaab of Wudhu_1
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
1. When making wudhu, sit on a raised place (e.g. a chair) and
face the qiblah. The place where one makes wudhu should be
a clean place.
2. Make the intention for wudhu.
3. Recite the masnoon dua before commencing the wudhu:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
(I commence) in the name of Allah and all praise belongs to
Allah .
4. Wash both the hands up to the wrists thrice.
5. Cleanse the mouth with a miswaak. When using the miswaak,
brush the teeth in a horizontal manner and the tongue in a
vertical manner. In the absence of a miswaak, you may use
your finger as a substitute.
6. Gargle the mouth thrice by taking three handfuls of water
with the right hand. Gargle thoroughly, allowing the water to
reach all the parts of the mouth.
7. Insert water into the nostrils with the right hand thrice, and
if there is a need to clean the nose, do so with the left hand.
8. When fasting, exercise caution in gargling the mouth and
rinsing the nose. Do not exert yourself in doing so, as water
may go down the throat or nasal passage, thus causing the
fast to break.
9. Recite the following dua at any time during the wudhu or
after the wudhu:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَوَسِّعْ لِيْ فِي دَارِي وَبَارِكْ لِي فِي رِزْقِي
O Allah, forgive my sins, grant me spaciousness in my home and
bless me with barakah in my sustenance.
