Wudu (ablution) is a ritual purification process that Muslims perform before prayers and certain other acts of worship. Here are the steps involved in performing Wudu:
1. **Make the Intention (Niyyah):** Begin with the intention in your heart that you are performing Wudu for the sake of worship and to seek closeness to Allah. This intention does not have to be verbalized.
2. **Say “Bismillah” (In the Name of Allah):** Start by saying “Bismillah.”
3. **Wash the Hands:** Wash both hands up to the wrists three times, ensuring that water reaches between the fingers.
4. **Rinse the Mouth:** Rinse the mouth three times, using the right hand to bring water to the mouth. Swish the water around inside your mouth and spit it out.
5. **Clean the Nose:** Sniff water into your nostrils three times with the right hand and then blow it out using the left hand.
6. **Wash the Face:** Wash your entire face three times,
