How to make Ablution (Wudu') and it's Importance
Wudu' (Minor Ablution) Allah Almighty says: ''Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.'' [Qur'an Chapter 2, Verse 222] The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Perform ablution similar to my ablution.” Because of the immense status of Salah (prayer), Allah prescribed purification before salah and made purification a condition for the validity of prayer. It is the key to prayer (the first step towards performing it). The consciousness of its merit makes the heart long to perform prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Purification is half of Imān… and prayer is light." He (peace be upon him) also said: "He who performs the Wudu’ perfectly, his sins come out from his body.” Thus, a Muslim stands before his Lord in a state of physical purification through ablution and spiritual purification through performing this act of worship sincerely to Allah Almighty and in compliance with the guidance of the Prophet (Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him). What are the acts of worship for which ablution is obligatory? 1- The prayer whether mandatory or supererogatory. 2- Circumambulating the Ka‘bah (Tawāf). 3- Touching the Mus-haf (a bound copy of the Qur’an). Perform ablution (Wudu') and ritual bath (Ghusl) with purifying water. Purifying water is any water that falls from the sky or springs from the earth and remains in its original state without a change to any of its three characteristics: color, taste, and smell; by one of them the state of purity of water is interrupted.

How to pray (Salah) Prayer? (A complete guide of prayer)
Salah, which Muslims perform five times a day is an obligation upon every capable believer. It should not be neglected as long as the person has the ability to perform it. A Muslim is required to establish the prayer even if they are tired, busy, or have just awakened from sleep. Salat for Muslims is like a mother’s warm embrace that a young child resorts to whenever something frightens him, a source of comfort and peace to which the believer turns whenever fear, worry, or hardship arises. It is the most important act of worship that a Muslim should strive to learn, preserve and teach, as it is the foundation of faith and the key to success in both this life and the hereafter. In this video, you can find a clear and detailed guide on how to perform salah from #Takbir to #Taslim. We ask Allah Almighty to benefit everyone who watches it.
