How to perform Ablution (Wudu)?

Introduction

Before one can offer Salah and workship Allah, the place where we pray must be clean and we, ourselves must be in a clean and pure state. Clothes must be clean, loose fitting and cover the body. It is essential to do Wudu or Ablution. Salah is not valid without proper wudu. Allah says "Surely Allah loves those who turn to Him and those who care for cleanliness." [The Holy Qur'an 2:22].

"O all you who believe, whenever you intend to perform Salah (prayer), first wash your face and hands up to the elbows, wipe off your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. And if you are in the state of Janaba (after sexual discharge), then take a full bath to purify yourselves. But if you are sick or travelling, or any of you has come from the toilet, or had sexual contact with your spouses, and you do not find any water then resort to clean sand or earth, and with it wipe your face and hands." [The Holy Qur'an 5:6]
