# Dua After Performing Wudu

Quick Answer

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, make me of those who repent and make me of those who purify themselves. UK Prayer Times provides the Arabic text, transliteration and meaning for this prayer dua (Sahih Muslim 234, narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA)).

Last updated 11 August 2026

After completing wudu (ablution), the Prophet ﷺ taught a specific dua that opens all eight gates of Paradise for the believer. Wudu is not merely physical cleansing — it is an act of worship, and this dua seals it with a declaration of faith and a prayer for forgiveness.

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ

Transliteration

Ashhadu an lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahū lā sharīka lah, wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan ʿabduhū wa rasūluh. Allāhumma-jʿalnī mina-t-tawwābīn wa-jʿalnī mina-l-mutaṭahhirīn.

Translation

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, make me of those who repent and make me of those who purify themselves.
