How to Do Wudu -My First Prayer Series

Did you know that before we pray, we must be super clean? That’s right! In Islam, we do something called Wudu (Ablution), which is a special way of washing before Salah (prayer). It’s like getting ready to meet someone very important – and who is more important than Allah?

Allah tells us in the Qur’an:

📖 “Indeed, Allah loves those who purify themselves.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:222)

When we do Wudu, we wash away dirt and even small mistakes we make! The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

🕊️ “When a Muslim makes Wudu, his sins fall off just like leaves fall from a tree.” (Sahih Muslim)

That sounds amazing, right? So, let’s learn how to do Wudu step by step!
