Benefits of Wudu for Muslims on the Day of Judgment
The first important thing about “what is the dua after wudu?” what I will explain now is the benefits of wudu for Muslims on the Day of Judgment. I want you to understand that because it is one of the important discussions about wudu that must be well understood by Muslims.

There are many benefits of wudu for Muslims. Wudu is one way to get rid of minor hadas. Wudu can also calm the heart. But wudu has enormous benefits for Muslims on the Day of Judgment.
Specifically, we can find an explanation that wudu has benefits for Muslims on the Day of Judgment in the following hadith:
عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُوْلُ : إِنَّ أُمَّتِيْ يَأْتُوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرَّا مُحَجَّلِيْنَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوْءِ ، فَمَنْ اِسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطِيْلَ غُرَّتَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu, he said, “I have heard the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say, “Verily my Ummah on the Day of Judgment will come with white light on all members of wudu (the limbs that are washed and rubbed in wudu) from the former wudu. Whoever of you is able to extend his white light, let him do that.” This hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
In the above hadith it is explained that on the Day of Judgment Muslims will be resurrected in a state of light. The light radiates from their bodies which they have washed and which they have rubbed when they perform wudu. The light is a sign that they are the people of the Prophet Muhammad. That is what distinguishes them from the people of the other Prophets. That is the benefit of wudu for Muslims on the Day of Judgment.
That is a brief explanation of the benefits of wudu for Muslims on the Day of Judgment. As Muslims, we must understand that.
What Is the Dua After Wudu?
The second important point about “what is the dua after wudu?” what I will explain now is a specific explanation. I want you to understand that because that is the main discussion in this article that should be well understood.
What is meant by dua after wudu is good sentences that are said after wudu. These sentences are requests to Allah. In general, before a Muslim pronounces these sentences, firstly, they say sentences of tauhid. That is the basic meaning of dua after wudu.
If we understand the basic meaning of dua after wudu as I have explained, we understand that we can say any kind words after wudu and we can ask Allah for anything after wudu. In general, there is no specification of certain good sentences in the dua after wudu.
But it would be better if the Muslims said the dua after wudu as the Prophet Muhammad had taught. The reason is because the prayer is a prayer that the Prophet Muhammad recited after he performed wudu. That is what I will explain in the next discussion.
That is a brief explanation of “what is the dua after wudu?”. As Muslims, we must understand that.
Two Duas after Wudu in Hadith
The third important point about “what is the dua after wudu?” what I will explain now is two duas after wudu in hadith. I want you to understand all of this because it is the dua after wudu that the Prophet Muhammad taught.
Before I explain the two dua after wudu in hadith, I want to quote one hadith that is specifically related to this discussion. One hadith about dua after wudu that I mean is as follows:
عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوْءَ ثُمَّ يَقُوْلُ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ , إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ . أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَزَادَ : اَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَاجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ
From Umar radliyallahu anhu, he said, “The Messenger of Allah alaihi wa sallam said, “It is not one of you who performs wudu then perfects it, then says, “I testify that there is no god but Allah who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, “except the eight doors of Heaven have been opened for him. He can enter any door he wants.” The hadith is narrated by Muslim and at-Tirmidhi. He (at-Tirmidhi) added another editor, “O Allah, make me among those who repent and make me including those who are cleansed.”
All readers! If we understand the hadith about wudu after wudu above, we can conclude that there are two prayers after wudu that we can read. The explanation is as follows:
The First Dua After Wudu
The first prayer after wudu that we can read is as follows:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ
I testify that there is no god but Allah who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.
The first dua after wudu above is a testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Prophet Muhammad is His servant and messenger. In simple terms, the first dua is the sentences of tauhid.
The Second Dua After Wudu
The second dua after wudu that we can read is as follows:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ , اَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَاجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ
I testify that there is no god but Allah who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger. O Allah, make me among those who repent and make me including those who are cleansed.
The second dua after wudu above is a testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Prophet Muhammad is His servant and messenger. In the second dua there is a request to Allah that He makes us people who repent and always purify themselves and their souls.
That is a brief explanation of two duas after wudu in hadith. As Muslims, we must understand that.
