How to Make Wudu
A jingle for kids · words to sing along
Sing along
Sung by Layan · Layth follows along
- Bismillah, let's begin
- Wash your hands your mouth your nose
- That's the way wudu goes
- Then your face and don't forget
- Arms to elbows nice and wet
- Wipe your head and both your ears
- Then your feet are we clear
- Three times each
- Just count to three
- Right side first then left you'll see
- Head and ears just once that's true
- Now you're clean and ready too
- From my head down to my feet
- Off to pray my wudu is complete
- Now we're clean from head to toe
- That's the way wudu goes
What this song is about
Wudu in the order it happens, with the counting built in. Bismillah to begin, then hands, mouth and nose. Face, and arms to elbows nice and wet. Wipe your head and both your ears, then your feet. Three times each — just count to three — right side first, then left; head and ears just once. It ends where a child needs it to: from my head down to my feet, off to pray, my wudu is complete.
