IS YOUR WUDU CORRECT?  

 

Check these facts: A Namaaz (Prayer) performed with an incomplete Wudu is not valid.  

 

Here is the method of Wudu according to Sunnah: 

 

For obtaining Thawaab of Wudu make niyyah (intention) before commending. Fill Paak water in a clean container and sit on some high clean place. Ensure that water and utensils used for Wudu are Paak. Sit and perform Wudu in such a place where water does not splash back on to the body. 

 

*      If possible face towards the Kiblah. 

*      Roll the sleeves up above the elbows. 

*      Recite once "BISMILLAH WAL HAMDU LILLAH" (In the name of Allah and all praise be to Allah). 

*      Wash both hands including the wrists thrice, starting with the right hand. 

*      Use a Miswaak to clean the teeth. If no Miswaak is available use the index finger. 

*      Rinse the mouth with water thrice. Gargle when not fasting. 

*      Rinse both nostrils three times using the right hand, taking fresh water each time. Clean both nostrils with the little finger of the left hand. If fasting do not allow water to go beyond the soft fleshy part of the nostrils. 

*      Wash the face thrice. Do not splash the water on to the face but wash gently, beginning at the forehead. Ensure that the face is completely wet, from the hair on the fore head to below the chin, and from one ear to the other. Make Khilaal of the beard with wetted palm of the right hand. Holding the hand with the palm forward, and then passing the fingers through the beard from the throat upwards. 

*      Wash both arms including the elbows thrice, beginning with the right hand. 

*      Make Khilaal by passing the fingers of the one hand through the fingers of the other. If a ring is worn, shift it so as to ensure that no part of the finger is left dry. 

*      After moistening the hands draw them, over index finger on the inside of the ears. Wipe the back of the hands over the back and sides of the neck, but not over the throat, which is forbidden. All this should be done with moistening the hands once only. 

*      Beginning with the right, wash each foot thrice including the ankles. Rub the little finger of the left hand between the toes of the right foot beginning with the extreme right, and completing with the extreme left toe of the left foot. 

*      After Wudu recite the Surah of "INNA ANZALNAAHU and then recite this Duaa: - "ALLAHUMMAJ ALNI MINAT TAWWABE'ENA WAJ ALNI MINAL MUTATAHHIREEN." (“Oh Allah make me of the purified. And make me of your pious servants.”) 

*      Remember to recite "ASHHADU AL LAAILAHA ILLAL LAHU WA ASHHADU ANNA MUHAMMAD ABDUHU WA RASUL LUH." (I bear witness that none is worthy of worship besides Allah and Muhammad (SAW) is His slave and messenger.) 

*      The four Faraaid (obligatory acts) of Wudu are:  

      a) To wash full face once  

      b) To wash both hands and arms including elbows once,  

      c) To make Masah of quarter head,  

      d) To wash both feet including ankles once. 

 

Miswaak is the sunnah of the Prophet (SAW).  

 

1.   Using miswaak a person receives a reward of 100 martyrs. 

2.   Miswaak removes slime from the mouth and is a cure for illness and

     creates fragrance in the mouth. 

3.   Miswaak prevents tooth decay and strengthens eyesight. 

4.   Miswaak eliminates bad odor, improves the sense of taste and sharpens

     the memory. 

5.   Miswaak increases the reward if Salaah from 70 times to 400 times 

6.   Use of Miswaak displeases shaitaan. Angels like to keep your company; you get the pleasure of ALLAH and many many more benefits. 

 

Jazakallah ho khair and may ALLAH reward you in abundance…. 

 

 

KNOWLEDGE - A DIVINE LIGHT

Knowledge is a deep ocean without an ocean bed - the deeper a person dives the more mysteries of knowledge will open up for him.
By diving in the heavenly ocean he will be gifted with pearls and corals, the fruits of the ocean of knowledge.
Knowledge is a divine light which shades it's radiance on the path of life, guiding its followers through every phase of life. Knowledge is divine - it differentiates between good and evil.
So O Muslims! - Take up this quest - the quest for the search of knowledge.
Grasp it while you are healthy and fine.
Gain it with zeal and crave.
Gain it from the cradle to the grave...
