Performance of wudu according to Qur'an Alone Muslims

  • Washing the face once.
  • Washing both the arms including the elbows once.
  • Performing Masah of one fourth of the head .
  • Washing both the feet once up to and including the ankles.

This is based on the 6th Ayat of Surah al-Ma'ida (Qur'an 5:6) which states:

"O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles."[6][7][8][9]

Wudhu gives a sense of cleanliness both spiritually and physically. As well as that, wudhu shows a sign of respect to Allah as one is clean in the presence of Him i.e. during prayer.
