THE PRAYER BEFORE CLEANING

I.A. THE PRAYER BEFORE CLEANING

Auudhu bi-llahi mina shaytwaani rajiim,          Bismillaahi rahmaani rahiim ; Al-hamdu lillaahi   rabbil’aalamiina, wa swalaatu wa salaamu alaa Rasuuli llahi swalla llahu alayhi wa sallama.    Allaahumma innii as-aluka tamaama l’udwuu-i wa swalaati.

I.B  THE WILLINGNESS TO BE CLEAN :

Before cleaning yourself, you ought to have the idea of being clean, because, anything which is not guided by willingness has no value before God.

* By creating that willingness, we say:

Auudhu bi-llahi mina shaytwaani    rajiim,

        Bismillaahi rahmaani rahiim ;

1. NAWAYTU RAF-AL-HADATHI

2. NAWAYTU FARDWA L-UDWUU-I

3. NAWAYTU RAF-AL-HADATHI FARDWA L-UDWUU-I  

4. NAWAYTU TWAHAARATA LI-SWALAATI

5. NAWAYTU ISTIBAHATA SWALAATI

In these (5) willingness, you choose one which seems easy for you and you express it.
