Allah SWT said in surat Al-Ma’edah Aya 6:
“يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا قُمۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ فَٱغۡسِلُواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ وَأَيۡدِيَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡمَرَافِقِ وَٱمۡسَحُواْ بِرُءُوسِكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡكَعۡبَيۡنِۚ”
{O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles}.
Wudu (Ablution) is an act of worship. Performing wudu in the correct order enables us to offer salah and connect with Allah (SWT). Cleanliness is a vital part of Islam. Therefore, Muslims believe that out of humility and respect for their Creator, they prepare their mind, heart and body and be in a state of purity to offer salah and establish a connection with their lord (SWT).
At Al-Hidayah Islamic School, this is taught with special attention and care to prepare students for a lifelong practice. The images below explain different activities our Year 3 students engaged in to learn Wudu steps. In addition, our Year 3 students learnt about pure water and investigated how we classify its purity. Furthermore, they learnt about its uses, one of which is Wudu.
