Performing Wudu And Its Virtues

---

Cleanliness (Taharah) is an important precondition of Islamic worship.
Wudu is an essential part of Cleanliness.

Salah(prayer) is not valid without Wudu' or Tayammum(dry Ablution).
Allah says in the Qur'an :


"Surely Allah loves those who turn to Him and those who care for cleanliness" (Al-Baqarah (2):22).

2. Put a handful of water into your mouth and rinse it thoroughly three times





3, 4 Sniff water into your nostrils three times to clean them and then wash the tip of the nose.
