How To do Wudu

1.          First, make the Niyyah (intention) in your heart that this act of Wudu is for the purpose of preparing for Salah, and say: "Bismillah" (in the name of Allah).

2.          Wash both hands up to the wrists (starting with the right hand) three times, making sure that water has reached between the fingers.

While washing the hands:

Alla hummaj alni minat tawwabina waj alni minal mutatah hirin.

3.          Take water with your right hand, put it into your mouth and rinse thoroughly three times.

While rinsing the mouth one should say:

Alla Humma laq qini hujjati yawma alqaka wa atliq lisani bizikrika.

4.  Take water with your right hand, splash it into your nose and blow it out three times. (Use the left hand if necessary to help blow it out).

While washing the nose one should say:

Alla humma la tuharrim 'alaya rihal jannati waj 'alni mim man yashummu riha ha wa rawha ha wa tiba ha.

5.          Wash your whole face three times repeatedly. (The whole face includes: the right ear to the left ear, and the forehead to the bottom of the chin).

While washing the face, one should say:

Alla humma bayyiz wajhi yawma taswaddufihil wujuh wala tusawwid waj hi yawma tabyazzul wujuh.

6.     Wash the right arm thoroughly from wrist to elbow three times, and make sure that no part of the arm has been left unwashed.  Repeat with the left arm.

While pouring water over the right elbow, one should say:

Alla humma a'tini kitabi bi yamini wal khulda fil jinani bi yasari wa hasibni hisaban yasira.

While pouring water over the left elbow, one should say:

Alla humma la tutini kitabi bishimali wala min wara'i zahri wala taj alha maghlu latan ila unuqi wa a'uzu bika min muqat ta'atin niran.

7.          Move the palms of the wet hands lightly over the head, starting from the top of the forehead to the back of the head, and passing both hands over the back of the head to the neck, and then bringing them back to the forehead.

While performing the wiping of the head, one should say:

Alla humma ghashshini bi rahmatika wa barakatika wa 'afwika.

8.          With the same water, rub the grooves and holes of both ears with the wet index fingers, while also passing the wet thumbs behind the ears from the bottom upward.

9.          Finally, wash both feet to the ankles three times, starting with the right foot.  Make sure that water has reached between the toes and covered the rest of the foot.

While performing the wiping of the feet, one should say:

Alla humma thabbitni alas sirati yawma tazillu fihil aqdam. Waj'al sa'yi fi ma yurzika 'anni ya zal jalali wal ikram.

At the end of the above steps recite: "Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu, wa ash-hadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu.” by pointing your finger to sky.

"أشهد أن لا إ له إلا الله وحده لا شريك له،

 و أشهد أن محمدا عبده و رسوله"

This means:

“I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger.”
