WUDHU
Du'as of wudhu
as taught by Imam Ali (A.S)
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said:
Whoever performs ablution (wudhu) in the same manner I do and says the same words I say, Allah will, for every drop of water used, create for this person an angel to exalt and glorify Him (Allah), till the Day of Judgement, with the rewards from this glorification going to that person.
Washing the hands at the beginning
of wudhu: In the name of Allah and for the sake of Allah; All praise be to
Allah who made water pure and did not make it impure; O Allah place me among
those who ask for forgiveness and among those who are pure.
Gargling: O' Allah teach me the correct answer for the day I shall meet you
and open my tongue for your praise.
Nose: O'Allah! Do not deprive me from the smell of paradise and place me among
those who sniff its smell, its refreshments and perfume.
Face: O'Allah! Brighten my face on the day you will disgrace the faces; and
do not disgrace my face on the day you will brighten the faces.
Right Forearm: O'Allah! Place my scroll of deeds in my right hand and eternal
residency in paradise in my left; and do the reckoning of my account leniently.
Left Forearm: O'Allah! Do not place my scroll of deeds in my left hand or
on my back; and do not make it chained around my neck. And I seek refuge with
you from the fierce fires.
Head: O'Allah! Bestow upon me Your mercy, Your blessings and Your pardon.
Feet: O'Allah! Keep me steadfast on the path on the day when the feet shall
slip; and make my efforts (in the way) that will please you. Oh the Master
of Power and Honour.
