Dimensions of Wudu

Wudu gives us the neccessary external purification so that we can pray. Now that we have purified the external, we need
to think about purifying the internal-and wudu also helps us to do just that.

Ibn Al Qayyim said:
“If the servant is to meet his Lord on the Day of judgement without complete purification (i.e. from sins), then he will
not be allowed to enter [jannah] – Similarly, one is not allowed to meet his Lord in prayer except in a state of purity.”

Lets us ponder a little bit over one of the dua that is said after the wudu:
“O Allah make me of those who repent often [to you] and of those who purify themseves.”

So, before a person beautifies himself to meet Allah, one needs to cleanse oneself from his or her sins.

Think of it is this way: if you were to put on a new shirt, would you wash it first then perfume it, or would you
ferfume it then wash it? You would wash it first. Uthman (ra) said that the Prophet (Saw) said:
“A person who performs wudu’ properly will have his sins removed even from underneath his nails.”

And in the narration by Abu Huraya (ra), it is said the sins leave “with the last drop of water”.
Subhan Allah (Glory be to God) how wudu removes sins, preparing one for his or her meeting with Allah. It was
ralated by Uthman bin Affan (R.A.):

“When a servant (of Allah) washes his face (in the course of wudu), every sin which he committed with his face will
be removed; when he washes his arms, the same thing happens; when he wipes his head, the same thing happens and when
he cleanses his feet same thing happens”

So imagine the sins we committed with our eyes will be removed, and with our ears removed and so on.

The next time we perform wudu, we should think of it as though we are actually seeing the sins as they fall off. And
always think well of Allah that He will forgive .

Abu Hurayra also narrated that the Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “Will I not guide you to that by which Allah wipes away the
sins and raises the ranks?” They responded, “Certainly O Messenger of Allah.” He relied:

“Performing the ablution thoroughly despite odds, traversing of more paces toward the mosque, and waiting for the
next prayer after observing a prayer, and that is mindfulness”

A person can say, “Well, great I’ll do what I want and commit so many sins and then do wudu. I have a free pass!” But
this isn’t correct. We should not make a mockery of Allah’s mercy with pre-meditated disobedience.

Allah says:
“And they (i.e. the disbelievers) planned, but Allah planned. And Allah is the best of planners” (Quran, 3:54).
What will Allah do? He could deny us they the benefits of wudu as a result of making a mockery of His mercy.

We all know the hadith when the Prophet (S.A.W.) passed by the graveyard and said: “Peace be upon you, dwelling of
Believeing People, and we will (all), if Allah wills, join you soon. I would have liked to have seen our brothers!”

The companions (R.A) were suprised at this and said, “Are we not your brothers, O Messenger of Allah?”

He said, “You are my Companions and our brothers are those who have not yet come.”
They said: How will you know those who have not yet come from your ummah, O Messenger of Allah?”

He said, “Have you not seen that if a man had a horse with a white blaze and hoof along with a totally jet-black horse,
then would he not know his horse?”

They said, “Certainly, O Messenger of Allah.”
He said, “So they will come with white blazes and marks from the wudu and I will be present before them at the Hawd
(the pool)”.
That is one of the ways by which the Prophet (S.A.W.) will know us on the Day of Judgement. Allahu akbar – (God is
great).

Raising Your Station with Wudu

The Prophet (S.A.W.) woke up one morning and went to Billal, how is it that I heard the sound of your footsteps in
jannah?”

Bilal (R.A.) anwered, “O Messenger of Allah, I prayed two rak’as (In repentance); and every time my wudu breaks, I*
go renew my wudu.”
The Prophet (S.A.W.) answered, “Yes this is the reason why (I heard your footsteps).”

Some Things That Nullify Wudu

Of course the pupose of this series is not solely to feel the spirituality behind wudu and prayer without coutioning
against invalid wudu.

1. Passing urine, feces or gas
2. Deep sleep where you become unaware of your surroundings
3.Losing conciousness

Miswak

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: Were it not for the fact that I did not want to make things too hard for my ummah, I
would have commanded them to use the miswak for every wudu (In another narration, before every prayer)”.
The Prophet (S.A.W.) also said: “Miswak cleanses the mouth and earns the Lord’s pleasure”.

Look at the Prophet’s (S.A.W.) scrupulousness and care in his relationship with Allah – that he wanted to meet his
Lord in Prayer with a clean and pure mouth.

The Prophet (S.A.W.) loved the miswak so much that when he has sick in his final days, he was with Aisha (R.A.)
when her brother abdur-Rahman (R.A.) walked in and he had a miswak.

She saw the Prophet (S.A.W.) looking at it and she knew he wanted it.
So she asked abdur-Rahman for it, softened it for the PRophet (S.A.W.) by chewing it, and gave it to him. May we
all perfect our wudu for the sake of Allah and in accordance to the example of his Messenger (S.A.W.). Aameen.
