S al a t —The Muslim Prayer Book 15 Lastly the feet should be washed up to the ankles inclusive, three times each, again beginning with the right. If for some reason, the limbs are washed just once, or twice, during the ablution, the ablution is still complete, even though the best form of ablution is that which we find in the established Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa which is to wash the limbs three times. Thus the ablution is completed. It is essential that the following prescribed prayer be recited for ablution: ﺮ ﻦ ا ﻦ ىن ا و اﻟﺘﻮاﺑني ﻦ ىن ا َََْا ﻠﻬﻢ ملﺘﻄﻬ ﻳ ﻣ ََُِِِِِِّْْْْْﻣ ﻠ ََﻠ ﻌ ْْﻌ ﺟ َََََُِّّّّْٰﺟ َﻟ Transliteration: All a hummaj‘aln i minat-taww a b i na waj‘aln i minal muta t ahhir i n. Translation: O Allah make me of those who seek forgiveness and make me of those who are cleansed.
