Supplications (Duas) of Doing Ablution (Wudu)
At the begining of making wudu
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
“I begin in the name of Allah, who is the Most Merciful, Most Gracious”.
It is stated in the hadith that one should begin wudhu with Allah’s name. No words have been specified and our elders read the above. It is recorded in some ahadith that wudhu is valid although no “Bismillah” is recited.(Mishkat)
“I testify that there is no one worthy of worship besides Allah. He is all by Himself and has no partner and I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s Rasul (Messenger)”.
Eight doors of Jannah will be open for the reciter of this dua. He will be able to enter from whichever door he pleases. (Mishkat)
It is recorded in the same narration that the dua should be recited three times.(HisnulHasin)
