THE NIYYAT (INTENTION)

For Wudhu, one should make the niyyat at heart that I am performing Wudhu to get rid of my need for Wudhu 
 

How?

With your left hand, wash your right hand from fingertips to wrist (x3).

With your right hand, wash your left hand from fingertips to wrist (x3).

With your right hand, take water and rinse out your mouth (x3).

With your left hand, take water and rinse out your nose (x3). 

With both hands, wash your face from ear to ear, chin to forehead (x3).

With your left hand, wash your right hand from your fingertips to your elbow (x3).
 
With your right hand, wash your left hand from your fingertips to your elbow (x3). 

Then do "Masah" which is: Move the palm of the wet hand over the head, starting from tye top of the forhead to the back and pass both hands over the back of the head to the neck.Then, rub wet fingers into the grooves of both ears and holes and also pass the wet thumbs behind the ears.Pass the backs of the wet hand over the back of the neck. 

Then, wash your right foot (x3).
 
Then, wash your left foot (x3).

In case if the socks are put on after an ABLUTION (WUDHU) is made, then during the next 24 hours, it is enough to pass wet fingers over them in making an ABLUTION instead of having to wash the feet each time, provided these have not been taken off during this period of time. If someone on journey, the traveler can make MASSAH i.e. passing wet fingers over socks up to three days.

THERE ARE FOUR FARADH (REQUIREMENTS) IN WUDHU

Washing the face from the forehead to the lower portion of the chin and from one ear lobe to the other

Washing of both the arms, including the elbows, once

Doing masah of a quarter of the head once

Washing of both the feet, including the ankles, once.

* If a Fardh is left out, the Wudhu is incomplete.

THERE ARE THIRTEEN SUNNATS IN WUDHU

Niyyat (intention)

Reciting of Bismillah

Washing of the hands thrice upto the wrists

Brushing the teeth by miswaak

Gargling three times

Passing water into the nostrils thrice

Khilal of the beard

Khilal of the fingers and toes

Washing of each part three times

Masah of the whole head once

Masah of both the ears once

Wudhu done systematically

Washing of each part one after the other without pause, so no part dries up before the Wudhu is completed.
* If a Sunnat is left out, the Wudhu is complete but the full Sawaab (reward) of Wudhu is not gained.

THERE ARE FIVE MUSTAHABS IN WUDHU

To begin from the right

To make Masah of the nape

Not to take assistance from anyone

To face the Qibla

To sit on a high and clean place.
* Carrying out a Mustahab act brings Sawaab (reward) but no sin if left out.

THERE ARE FOUR MAKROOHS IN WUDHU

To make Wudhu in a dirty place

To clean the nose with the right hand

To talk of worldly affairs

To do Wudhu against the Sunnat.

* Committing of a Makrooh act in Wudhu causes the full blessing of Wudhu to be lost, although the Wudhu will not have to be repeated.
