Kahraman Maraş Acemli Cami |
For our ritual ablution to be without defect we have to heed
its sunnah acts and proper conduct in addition to obligatory
elements. When keeping in mind all of these points, we make
the wudhu as below:
We roll up our sleeves past the
elbows and turn up our trousers in order to be ready for performing
ablution.
We say the "Audhu Bismillah", which fully reads
: "Audhu Billahi min-ash-shayta-nir-rajiym, Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim"
(In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Gracious) and make
the intention by saying: "I intend to perform wudhu". |
| we wash well both hands up to the wrists, three times.
While doing this, we comb with the wet fingers of one hand those
of the other and vice versa. If there is a ring, we rotate it
back and forth so that water way reach beneath it. While washing
the hands, we recite this supplication: "Praise be to Allah
who has made water for cleansing and has made Islam a light". |
|
 |
We take water it to the mouth with the ring hand and rinse
the inside of the mouth well. At this point, we preferably brush
our teeth with a sunnah tooth brush (miswak) or otherwise a
normal tooth brush. If neither are available, we mey rub our
teeth with the ring thumb, for the ring side, and the fore finger
of the ring hand for the left side. While rinsing the mouth
we say this supplication: "O my Allah! Give me water from
the kauthar pool of our prophet (pbuh) so that I should not
feel thirsty there after". |
| We draw water into the nostrils with the palm of the ring
hand tree times, blowing the nose each time using the left hand.
Meanwhile we recite this supplication: "O my Allah! Do
not deprive me of the fragrances of Your blessings or of Your
Paradise". |
|
 |
We wash the face three times with both hands from the forehead
to underneath the chin, and from the side of the temples ring
up to the soft beginning of the ears. In doing this, we should
avoid forcefully splashing water on our face lest it should
splatter all around. During this time, we recite this supplication:
"O my Allah! Make my face bring with Your divine Light
on the Day of Doom when some faces will be brightened while
others will be darkened". |
| We first wash our right arm rubbing with the left hand
up to and including the elbow. This is done three times, and
repeated for the left arm with the ring hand. While washing
the right arm, we recite this supplication: "O my Allah!
Hand me my book of Deeds from my right side and make my judgment
easy" |
|
 |
and while washing the left arm, we recite this supplication:
"O my Allah! Do not Give me my book of Deeds from my left
side or from behind and Do not make my judge mend difficult". |
| We wipe over one fourth of the head from the back to the
front with the wet palm of the right hand. While wiping over
the head we recite this supplication: "shower Your blessing
on my and forgive me with Your mercy". |
|
 |
We again wet our hands wipe with the wet forefingers
of both hands the inside of the ears and with the wet thumb
behind the ears. Next we pipe the back of the neck with the
remaining fingers, that is those other than the thumbs and forefingers. |
| While we are wiping the ears we recite this supplication: "O
my Allah! Make me obey the best of the words". While we
are wiping over the back of our neck we say this supplication:
"O my Allah! Make me be far fro the flaming fires of the
hell". |
|
 |
First we wash our right foot (using the left hand) three
times starting with the toes. The skin area an between toes
is combet with the little finger of the left hand. This act
of combing is started from the toe of the right foot and from
the big toe of left foot the washing of the left foot is the
same as that for the right foot. While washing the feet we recite
this supplication: "O my Allah! Do not cause my feet to
slip from Your road on the Day of judge mend when some feet
will slip".
In this way, wudhu (minor ritual ablution) is completed.
It is good to say the formula of faith (Kalima-i Shahadat)
after completion. |
