THE PERFECTION OF ABLUTION (WUDHU)


All praise be to Allah who has been compassionate to His worshipping servants and who has ordered them to worship in the state of purity, and has blessedly conferred His sublime rays of illumination and Subtle Compassion upon their hearts so that it may be a purification of their innermost thoughts. We testify that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah who is unique, has no partner and Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam is His servant and messenger who has immerses the extremities of the world by the light of guidance. Salutations be upon His noble kinfolk and pure companions, whose blessings will save us on the day of fear and will erect a shield between us and every calamity.

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Purity is half of Imaan.” (Muslim)

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Indeed my followers will be called on the Day of Qiyaamah in such a state that their faces and feet will be shining due to vestiges of ritual ablution (Wudhu) – so whoever amongst you has the ability to elongate his illumination, let him do so.” (Bukhaari and Muslim)

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam also stated that the adornment on a Mu’min (Believer) will reach to the extent where the Wudhu reaches. The key to paradise is Salaat and the key to Salaat is “Wudhu”. (Ahmed)

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam warned: “Whoever leaves out the extent of a single hair in the state of impurity and does not wash it, then such and such afflictions will be afflicted on it in the fire. (Abu Dawud, Ahmed, Daarimi)

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam stated when passing by two graves: “Indeed both are being punished, but they are not being punished as to regard something major (in their sight), as for the first of the two he should not save himself from the scattering droplets of urine. As for the other, he used to carry tales.”

In another narration it is stated that he should not abstain from the droplets of urine. (Muslim)

Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam said: “When you approach the places of fulfilling your natural need then do not face the Qiblah and do not turn your back towards it.’ (Bukhaari, Muslim)

I seek refuge in Allah from shaytaan, the Accursed.

Allah Ta’aala says: “Never ever stand therein in prayer. Indeed the Masjid whose foundation has been laid on the fear of Allah, from inception is more rightful for your standing in prayer therein. Therein are men that love to absolutely purify themselves – Indeed Allah loves those that purify themselves.” (9:108)
