Ablution i.e. wudu is usually performed in preparation for formal prayers and before the Quran is addressed and readout.
Wudu is also translated as “partial ablution,” as opposed to ghusl (“full ablution”), washing the entire body, or tayammum (“dry ablution”), replacing water with sand or dust because of its scarcity, its harmful impact on the individual or any other purpose. Body and clothing purification is called taharah.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said ‘cleanliness is half of faith’. Wudhu is the ritual washing performed by Muslims before prayer. Muslims must be clean and wear good clothes before they present themselves before God.
Muslims start in the name of God, and begin by washing the right, and then the left hand three times.
Ablution meaning: an act of washing oneself.
What if you haven’t done Niyat before wudu?
Whether one did not do the Niyat, and fell into the river, or stood in rain, and the water went over all the pieces, the washing of which in wudu is necessary. Wudu is going to be done and he’s going to be able to claim his Namaz. But that individual won’t get wudu ‘s blessings.

- Wash your hands completely three times over to the wrists
- Rinse your mouth 3 times, swirl the water around and rinse your nose 3 times, blowing the water out using the left hand to remove the water from your nose. This Sunna’s secret is that it lets you test if the water is pure and clean enough to use it for wudu!
