Dua After Wudu

Learn the authentic supplication to recite after completing wudu.

After completing wudu, the Prophet ﷺ taught a supplication containing the testimony of faith (Shahadah) and asking Allah to make the believer among those who repent and purify themselves. Reciting it carries immense reward, including the opening of the eight gates of Paradise.

Meaning and Explanation

The dua renews the testimony of faith right after physical and ritual purification, affirming pure monotheism and the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ.

When to Recite

Immediately after completing wudu.

How to Recite

Recite the supplication upon completing ablution while facing the Qiblah if convenient.

Important Notes

Some narrations in Tirmidhi add: 'Allahummaj-'alni minat-tawwabina waj-'alni minal-mutatahhirin' (O Allah, make me among those who repent and make me among those who purify themselves).

Benefits

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stated that whoever performs wudu thoroughly and then recites this testimony, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for them to enter through whichever they wish.
