Shaafi’ Wudhu Masaail (15)

Reading Time: < 1 minute

4.1. Tasmiyah

1. Tasmiyah means: to recite Bismillah (In the Name of Allah).
2. The minimum amount of Tasmiyah is:

بِسْمِ اللهِ

Just this much fulfils the sunnat.

3. The complete Tasmiyah is:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

“In the Name of Allah, the Exceedingly Compassionate, the Exceedingly Merciful.”

4. The Tasmiyah can be recited by any person, even by one who is in the state of janaabat or haidh or nifaas provided that it is said with the intention of Thikr and not Tilaawat of the Qur’aan.
5. Ta’awwuz before Tasmiyah is sunnat. Ta’awwuz is to recite:

اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ

“I seek the protection of Allah from Shaitaan the accursed.”

6. It is also sunnat to supplement Tasmiyah with this Du’aa:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَلَى الْاِسْلَامِ وَنِعْمَتِه

“Praises be to Allah for Islam and His favour.”

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ جَعَلَ الْمَآءَ طَهُوْرًا وَّالْاِسْلَامَ نُوْرًا

“Praises be to Allah Who made water a purifier and Islam a spiritual light.”

رَبِّ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِيْنِ

“O My Rabb! I seek your protection from the evil whisperings of the Shayaateen.”

وَاَعُوْذُ بِكَ رَبِّ اَنْ يَّحْضُرُوْنِ

“And I seek Your protection, O My Rabb, from their presence by me.”

(Al-Mabsoot – To be continued, Insha Allah)
