Dream - Wudhu is a part that should not be left behind when going to perform the prayer. In this process, Muslims cleanse the minor impurities that stick to their bodies. Considering that in performing the prayer, one must be free from both major and minor impurities. Therefore, Dream friends must know what are the pillars of wudhu so that the wudhu performed is truly perfect and valid. One of the movements in performing wudhu is washing the face. Well, in every wudhu movement, there is a prayer that can be recited. Including the prayer for washing the face.

According to Syara' as explained in the book Al-Fiqh Al-Manhaji ala Madzhabis Syafi'i, the understanding of wudhu is: "A name to indicate an action that involves using water on specific body parts accompanied by intention." If the letter "wawu" is pronounced with a "fathah", then there is a difference in meaning with wudhu. Wadhu is the name for referring to the tool used for wudhu, which is water. Wudhu itself does not always mean the ritual of cleansing before prayer or other worship.

In a hadith it is explained: تَوَضَّؤُوا مَمَّا غَيَّرَتِ النَّارُ. The meaning of ablution according to the above hadith is to wash the hands and mouth after eating. As mentioned in Lisanul Arab: أَرَادَ بِهِ غَسْلَ الْأَيْدِي وَالْأَفْوَاهِ مِنَ الزَّهُومَةِ "The meaning of the word 'berwudhulah' in the above hadith is to wash the hands and mouth in order to be free from odor."

Through the explanation above, what is meant by Allah SWT with ablution is cleanliness and beauty. Or also called thaharah, which is done before prayer. Because when facing Allah SWT, one must be in a beautiful and pure condition.

Allâhumma bayyidh wajhî bi nûrika yauma tabyadhdhu wujûha auliyâ’ika. Wa lâ tusawwid wajhî bi zhulumâtika yauma taswaddu wujûha a’dâ’ika. Artinya: “O my Lord, whiten my face with Your light on the day You whiten the faces of Your allies. Do not blacken my face with Your darkness on the day You blacken the faces of Your enemies,” (See Sayid Utsman bin Yahya, Maslakul Akhyar, Al-‘Aidrus Edition, Jakarta)

Use both hands at the same time to wash your face. This method is more perfect and makes the water spread evenly on the face. Start by washing the face from the top, then spread it downwards. The reason for starting from the top is because that part is the most noble. The forehead is the part to prostrate to Allah SWT. This also makes it easier for the water to flow down. When washing the face, it is recommended to rub the face with the hands. Even if not rubbed, the ablution is still valid, but it does not receive the merit of rubbing the face. Wash the face three times.
