BENEFITS OF PERFORMING WUDU(ABLUTION) IN ISLAM
Wudu (ablution) is an Arabic word which means the specific action of washing certain body parts including hands, mouth, arms, nostrils, feet and face. In the Islam, it has great importance.
“O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles.” – (Al-Ma’idah: 6)
Abu hurayrah Narrated that the prophet said:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The Prayer of a person who does ,Hadath (passes, urine, stool or wind) is not accepted till he performs the ablution.”[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 137]
1- Removing Germs:
Although ablution is not prescribed as a medicine, but it has various benefits on human health. For example, in everyday life after starting the day, you touch various things in a day. These things can contain various types of germs which are harmful to your health. So if you do Wudu, you definitely wash your hand. It will wash out all the germs from your hands.
2- Protect from Wrinkles and Lines:
Wudu is prescribed by Allah, but now its benefits are also scientifically proven. Like during Wudu, you wash your mouth several times in a day, it will protect you from tooth problems. Similarly, by washing your face several times in a day, your face will be protected from the wrinkles and lines.
3- Plays a Vital Role In Good Oral Hygiene
Ablution includes purification of the mouth such that it removes any food particle remains from our teeth, tongue, and gums, preventing oral health issues. It also strengthens our facial muscles and gets rid of bad mouth odors.
4- Improves Blood Flow and Mental Health
It is proven that putting pressure on certain points of our arms improves our overall blood flow, and performing ablution ticks all the right boxes in this aspect. There are three major veins in our elbows connected to our brain, heart, and liver, and putting pressure on them gives our body strength both physically and mentally.
5- Protect you on the Day of Judgment:
According to the Hadith, ablution eliminates all your bad deeds and sins. The Messenger of the Allah, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) also mentioned the importance of Wudu in the Hadith. According to them, ablution will protect you on the Day of Judgment.
6- Blessings of Allah:
Try to remain in the state of Wudu every time. It has various benefits for you. Along with physical health, you will get the Blessings of Allah Almighty. If you die in the state of ablution, you will be martyred.
7- Gaining Cleanliness:
It is the Sunnah sleeping in the condition of purity. And it is the best way of gaining purity and cleanliness. So make a habit of performing ablution daily before sleeping.
5- Prevents Wax Buildups
Furthermore, rinsing the insides and outsides of our ears during ablution removes the extra wax layer, preventing mastoiditis from arising while putting a stop to wax buildups.
9- Preserving wudu is a sign of Faith:
So it is the matter of your faith. To strengthen your faith, always remain in the state of purity. According to the hadith: “Cleanliness is the part of faith.”
10- Wudu is a radiance and the Believers are encouraged to increase in it:
Abu Hurayrah (R.A) said, “Whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
11- Asking Dua after wudu is a means of Entering Jannah:
“Whoever of you performs Wudu carefully and then affirms: Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallahu Wahdahu la sharika Lahu, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadanabduhu wa Rasuluhu [I testify that there so no true god except Allah Alone, Who has no partners and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger],’ the eight gates of Jannah are opened for him. He may enter through whichever of these gates he desires (to enter).” [Muslim]
