Wudu (Ablution)

According to Quran and Sunnah
Allah's Messenger said, The key to Paradise is prayer
and the key to prayer is cleanliness (Ablution) .
Tirmidhi, Transmitted Ahmad, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah
A desert Arab came to Allah's Apostle and asked
him about ablution. He demonstrated (washing each part of his body)
thrice, and then said: That is (the method) of the ablution.
And he who does more than this has done wrong, transgressed
the limit and has oppressed (himself).
[Tirmidhi #417, Transmitted by Nasa'i, Ibn Majah,
and AbuDawud transmitted something tothe same effect.]
The order to purify the body
Hadith - Bukhari 1:161, Narrated Humran
(The slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler
of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands
andwashed them thrice and then put his right hand inthe water
container and rinsed his mouth, washedhis nose by putting waterin it
and then blowing it out. Then he washed his face and forearms up to
the elbows thrice, passedhis wet hands over his head and washed his
feetup to the ankles thrice. Then he said, "Allah's Apostle said ' If
anyone Performs ablution like that of mineand offers a two-rak'at
prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to
the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' " After
performing the ablution 'Uthman said, "I am going to tell you a
Hadithwhich I would not have told you, had I not been compelled by a
certain Holy Verse (the sub narrator 'Urwa said: This verse is:
'Verily, those who conceal the clear signs and the guidance which we
have sent down...)' (2:159). I heard the Prophet saying, ' If a man
performs ablution perfectly and then offers the compulsory
congregational prayer, Allah will forgive his sins committed between
that (prayer) and the (next) prayer till he offers it.' "
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Mâ'idah 5:6
O you who believe! Whenyou intend to offer As-Salât (the prayer), wash
your faces and yourhands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing
wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles. If you
are in a state of Janâba (i.e. had a sexual discharge), purify
yourself (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a journey
or any of you comes from answering the call of nature, or you have
beenin contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse) and you find no
water, then perform Tayammumwith clean earth and rub therewith your
faces and hands. Allâh does not want to place you in difficulty, but
He wants topurify you, and to complete His Favour on you that you may
be thankful.
The Noble Qur'an - At-Tauba 9:108
...And Allâh loves those who make themselves clean and pure (i.e. who
clean their private parts with dust [i.e. to be considered as soap)
and water from urine and stools, after answering the call of nature].
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Baqarah 2:222
They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that isan Adha (a harmful
thing for a husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while
she is having her menses), therefore keep away from women during
menses and go not unto them till they have purified (from menses and
have taken a bath). And when they have purified themselves, thengo in
unto them as Allâh has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner
as long as it is in their vagina). Truly, Allâh loves those who turn
unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves (by
taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts,
bodies, for their prayers, etc.).
The Noble Qur'an - At-Tauba 9:28
O you who believe (in Allâh's Oneness and in HisMessenger (Muhammad
SAW)! Verily, the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters,
disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, and in the Message of Muhammad
SAW) are Najasun (impure)[]. So letthem not come near
Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) after this year, and if you fear
poverty, Allâh will enrich you if Hewill, out of His Bounty. Surely,
Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
