Benefits of Salat-ul-Wudu

Question: As Salaam Alaykum Shaykh, What are the benefits of Salat-ul-Wudu?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah... Wa alaikum as-salam. Salat-ul-Wudu, according to the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), holds immense benefits for the believer. When we perform Wudu, we are not only physically cleansing ourselves, but we are also preparing our energy field to be shielded from negative influences. The act of Wudu seals the body from satanic and evil attacks, protecting us from the influence of shayateen seeking to find deficiencies in our energy field.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the importance of Wudu as a means of safeguarding ourselves from negative influences. The two dirtiest parts of the body, the front and back, are washed during Wudu, preventing shayateen from entering through these entry points. By performing Wudu, we sanctify and safeguard our body entrance points, preventing shayateen from entering through those points.

Salat-ul-Wudu, the two rak’ahs of prayer performed after Wudu, further seals our energies with the protection of the angelic force within the water used for Wudu. This shield protects us until the next Wudu, ensuring that we are constantly safeguarded from negative influences.

Furthermore, the act of Wudu and the subsequent Salat-ul-Wudu bring into our consciousness an acceptance of ourselves as open, flowing organisms, with natural processes of intake and giving out. This understanding helps us make a clear distinction between these energetic activities and the higher self, demanding a complete separation from them without repression.

In essence, Salat-ul-Wudu and the act of Wudu itself are not merely physical rituals, but they are profound spiritual practices that protect and elevate our energy and consciousness. May Allah bless you with the understanding and practice of these beautiful teachings. Ameen.

And remember, the key to the Garden is Salat, and the key to Salat is Wudu. May Allah guide you and grant you success in your spiritual journey. Ameen.
