Wudu is a very important aspect of the Islamic faith. It is a religious ritual that involves the washing of one's hands, face (mouth and nostrils included), forearms and feet. This washing process is performed prior to saying the obligatory daily prayers, and it is a means of showing respect for Allah by entering into a ritual state of purity before praying to him.
Interestingly, during the Old Testament era of the Holy Bible, that is, the time that preceded the coming of Jesus, God required something similar of the Jews. |
