O you who believe! When you rise to pray, wash your faces and your hands and arms to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your feet to the ankles. If you had intercourse, then purify yourselves. If you are ill, or travelling, or one of you returns from the toilet, or you had contact with women, and could not find water, then use some clean sand and wipe your faces and hands with it. God does not intend to burden you, but He intends to purify you, and to complete His blessing upon you, that you may be thankful.
How does the Qur'an describe the washing before prayer (wudu)?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 5:6 Carried whole and alone because the whole study is this one verse and it is the most procedurally specific ritual instruction in the book: when ye rise up for prayer, WASH YOUR FACES, AND YOUR HANDS UP TO THE ELBOWS, AND LIGHTLY RUB YOUR HEADS, AND YOUR FEET UP TO THE ANKLES - then the state of janaba, then the conditions of illness and travel, then the substitute of clean earth, then the closing statement that God would not place a burden on you but would purify you. Four limbs, two of them with a limit marked. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about cleanliness and purification?, What does the Qur'an say about the full bath (ghusl)? and What does the Qur'an say about dry ablution when there is no water (tayammum)?, each for a different clause.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
One verse, and it is the most detailed ritual instruction in the Qur'an.
5:6 gives four actions in order. Wash the face. Wash the hands UP TO THE ELBOWS. Wipe the head. And the feet UP TO THE ANKLES. Two of the four carry an explicit limit, which is the sort of precision the text almost never supplies about worship.
It then goes on: if you are in a state of janaba, purify yourselves; if you are ill or travelling or have relieved yourself or touched women and find no water, then clean earth, and wipe your faces and hands with it. And it closes with a statement about the point of the whole thing - God does not wish to place a burden on you, but to purify you, and to perfect His favour upon you.
That closing line is worth as much attention as the limbs. The verse explains itself, which is rare here.
Two honest notes, since this study marks its boundaries.
The verse gives four actions; it does not give a number of times for each, an intention formula, an order of rinsing the mouth and nose, or what breaks the state once you are in it. The threefold washing and the rest of the familiar sequence come from the Prophet's practice, and this platform holds none of that material.
The translations divide on the fourth action. Pickthall has lightly rub your heads and (wash) your feet, the bracket marking a word he supplied; Sale has rub your heads, and your feet, and Rodwell, Palmer and Itani have wipe your heads, and your feet. The feet can be read with the wiping or with the washing, and the page shows each translator's choice rather than making one.
What remains is still remarkable for this text: a physical procedure, limb by limb, with limits marked, and a stated reason at the end.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 5:6.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

O besimtarë! Kur (doni) të ngriheni për namaz, lani fytyrat dhe duart tuaja deri në bërryla dhe fërkoni kokën (me duar të lagura), si dhe lani këmbët deri në nyej. Nëse jeni xhunubë, atëherë lahuni (tërësisht)! Ndërkaq, nëse jeni të sëmurë ose jeni në udhëtim, ose keni kryer nevojën, ose keni bërë marrëdhënie me gratë tuaja e nuk gjeni ujë (për t'u pastruar), atëherë fërkoni fytyrat dhe duart tuaja me dhé të pastër. Allahu nuk dëshiron t'jua rëndojë, por dëshiron t'ju pastrojë dhe të plotësojë dhuntinë e Tij ndaj jush, që të jeni mirënjohës.
হে মুমিনগণ! যখন তোমরা সালাতে দণ্ডায়মান হতে চাও তখন (ছোট নাপাকি হলে) তোমরা (সালাতের পূর্বে ) তোমাদের মুখমণ্ডল ও হাতগুলো কনুই পর্যন্ত ধৌত করো, তোমাদের মাথায় মাসহ করো এবং পায়ের টাখনু (গোড়ালি) পর্যন্ত ধৌত করো। আর যদি তোমরা জুনুবী (বড় নাপাকি) অবস্থায় থাকো, তবে গোসল করে পবিত্র হও। আর যদি তোমরা অসুস্থ হও বা সফরে থাকো বা তোমাদের কেউ পেশাব-পায়খানা থেকে আসে (ছোট নাপাকি হয়) বা তোমরা স্ত্রীর সাথে সংগম করে (বড় নাপাকি হয়), অতঃপর (পবিত্রতার জন্যে) পানি না পাও, তবে পবিত্র মাটি দিয়ে তায়াম্মুম করবে। সুতরাং তা দ্বারা মুখমণ্ডল ও হাত মাসহ করবে। আল্লাহ তোমাদেরকে কষ্টে ফেলতে চান না; বরং তিনি তোমাদেরকে পবিত্র করতে চান এবং তোমাদের প্রতি তাঁর নি‘আমত পরিপূর্ণ করতে চান, যাতে তোমরা কৃতজ্ঞতা জ্ঞাপন করো।
O vi koji vjerujete, kada hoćete namaz obaviti, lica svoja i ruke svoje do iza laktova operite – a glave svoje potarite – i noge svoje do iza članaka operite. Ako ste džunupi, onda se očistite; a ako ste bolesni, ili na putu, i izvršili ste prirodnu potrebu, ili ste imali odnos sa suprugama, a ne nađete vode, onda rukama svojim čistu zemlju dotaknite i njima preko lica svojih i ruku svojih pređite. Allah vam ne želi pričiniti poteškoće, već vas želi učiniti čistim i blagodat Svoju vam upotpuniti, da biste bili zahvalni.

ჰეი, თქვენ, რომელთაც ირწმუნეთ! როცა დგებით ლოცვისთვის, დაიბანეთ წყლით თქვენი სახეები და ხელები იდაყვებამდე, მოისვით (სველი ხელებით) თავზე და დაიბანეთ ფეხები კოჭებამდე. ხოლო თუ ხართ დიდი უწმინდურობის მდგომარეობაში (ჯუნუბი), მაშინ განიწმინდეთ [შეასრულეთ დიდი განბანვა — ღუსლი]. თუ კი ხართ ავად (ისე, რომ ვერ იყენებთ წყალს, ან წყლის გამოყენება გააუარესებს ავადმყოფობას), ან ხართ შორეულ მგზავრობაში, ან რომელიმე თქვენგანი მოვიდა საპირფარეშოდან, ან შეეხეთ ქალებს [გქონდათ მათთან სიახლოვე], და ვერ იპოვეთ წყალი — მაშინ შეასრულეთ განწმენდა სუფთა მიწით (თაიამუმი): მოისვით მისით [სუფთა მიწით] თქვენი სახეები და ხელები. ალლაჰს არ სურს თქვენთვის სიძნელე (განბანვის საკითხში). არამედ მას სურს გაგწმინდოთ (უწმინდურებისა და ცოდვებისგან) და დაასრულოს თავისი წყალობა თქვენზე, რათა მადლიერნი იყოთ.
O die ihr glaubt, wenn ihr euch zum Gebet aufstellt, dann wascht euch das Gesicht und die Hände bis (einschließlich) zu den Ellbogen und streicht euch über den Kopf und (wascht) die Füße bis (einschließlich) zu den Knöcheln. Und wenn ihr im Zustand der großen rituellen Unreinheit seid (arab. „Junub“), dann reinigt euch (durch die rituelle Ganzkörperwaschung). Und wenn ihr krank seid oder auf einer Reise oder jemand von euch vom Abort kommt oder ihr Frauen berührt habt (im Sinne von Beischlaf) und dann kein Wasser findet, so wendet euch zum guten Erdboden hin und streicht euch damit über das Gesicht und die Hände. Allah will euch keine Bedrängnis auferlegen, sondern Er will euch reinigen und Seine Gunst an euch vollenden, auf dass ihr dankbar werden möget.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Όταν σηκώνεστε για την προσευχή, πλύντε τα πρόσωπά σας και τα χέρια σας μέχρι τους αγκώνες, περάστε τα (βρεγμένα) χέρια σας πάνω στα κεφάλια σας και (πλύντε) τα πόδια σας μέχρι τους αστράγαλους. Αν είστε Τζούνουμπ (σε κατάσταση μεγάλης ακαθαρσίας από σεξουαλική επαφή), τότε πλυθείτε (κάνοντας Γουσλ -πλήρες ντους-). Αν όμως είστε άρρωστοι, ή ταξιδεύετε, ή κάποιος από σας έρχεται από τη φυσική του ανάγκη (αφόδευση) ή έχετε σεξουαλική επαφή με τις γυναίκες σας και δεν βρίσκετε νερό, τότε πηγαίνετε προς καθαρή σκόνη (ή άμμο ή χώμα, για να εκτελέσετε Ταγιάμμουμ χτυπώντας την με τις δύο παλάμες σας μία φορά) και σκουπίστε (με τις παλάμες σας) τα πρόσωπα και τα χέρια σας (με την παλάμη του αριστερού χεριού πάνω στο δεξί χέρι μέχρι τον καρπό και το αντίστροφο). Ο Αλλάχ δεν θέλει να σας βάλει σε δυσκολίες, αλλά θέλει να σας εξαγνίσει και να ολοκληρώσει τη χάρη Του σ’ εσάς, μήπως και γίνετε ευγνώμονες.
ऐ ईमान वालो! जब तुम नमाज़ के लिए उठो, तो अपने चेहरों को और अपने हाथों को कुहनियों समेत धो लो और अपने सिरों का मसह़[10] करो तथा अपने पाँवों को टखनों समेत (धो लो)। और यदि तुम जनाबत[11] की हालत में हो, तो स्नान कर लो। तथा यदि तुम बीमार हो, अथवा यात्रा में हो, अथवा तुममें से कोई शौचकर्म से आया हो, अथवा तुमने स्त्रियों से सहवास किया हो, फिर कोई पानी न पाओ, तो पाक मिट्टी का क़सद करो और उससे अपने चेहरों तथा हाथों पर मसह [12]कर लो। अल्लाह नहीं चाहता कि तुमपर कोई तंगी करे। लेकिन वह चाहता है कि तुम्हें पाक करे और ताकि अपनी नेमत तुमपर पूरी करे, ताकि तुम शुक्र करो।
O credenti, se vi alzate per la preghiera, lavatevi il viso e le mani fino al gomito, e passatevi le mani impregnate sopra la testa e i piedi fino alle caviglie; se siete impuri, purificatevi, e se siete malati o in viaggio, o se uno di voi dovesse defecare, o avere un contatto con le donne, e non doveste trovare dell’acqua, usate della sabbia pura o pietra pura, per fare l’abluzione, (Atteyemmem التَّيَمم), poi strofinatevi i palmi, poi passateli sul vostro volto e sulle mani, perché Allāh non vuole crearvi degli impedimenti, ma Lui vuole purificarvi e completare la Sua grazia su di voi perché possiate esserGli grati.
6. O jūs, kurie tikite! Kai jūs norite atlikti As-Salat (maldą), nuprauskite savo veidus ir savo rankas (dilbius) iki alkūnių, patrinkite (perbraukdami šlapiais delnais per) savo galvas ir (nuplaukite) savo pėdas iki kulkšnių [3]. Jei esate Džanaba būsenoje (t. y. turėjote lytinių išskyrų dėl lytinių santykių), apsivalykite save (išsimaudykite visu kūnu). Tačiau, jei sergate arba esate kelionėje, arba kas nors iš jūsų grįžta po gamtinių reikalų atlikimo, arba jūs turėjote santykių su moterimis (t. y. lytinių santykių), ir nerandate vandens, tada atlikite Tajamum su švaria žeme ir patrinkite ja savo veidus ir rankas. [4] Allahas nenori jūsų apsunkinti, tačiau Jis nori jus apvalyti ir išbaigti Savo Malonę jums, kad jūs būtumėte dėkingi.

О вы, которые уверовали! Когда вы встаёте на молитву, то омойте свои лица и руки до локтей, протрите свои головы и [омойте] ноги до щиколоток. А если вы в состоянии большого осквернения, то очиститесь полностью. Если же вы больны, или в пути, или кто-либо из вас пришёл из отхожего места, или вы касались женщин и не нашли воды, то совершите таяммум чистой землёй: протрите ею свои лица и руки. Аллах не желает создавать вам никакого затруднения, но желает очистить вас и завершить Свою милость к вам, — быть может, вы будете благодарны.
О ви који верујете, када хоћете да обавите молитву, лица своја и руке своје до иза лактова оперите, а главе своје потарите, и ноге своје до иза чланака оперите. Ако сте имали интимни однос, онда се окупајте; а ако сте болесни, или на путу, или ако сте извршили природну потребу, или ако сте имали однос са супругама, а не нађете воду, онда својим рукама чисту земљу дотакните и њима преко својих лица и својих руку пређите. Аллах не жели да вам причини потешкоће, већ жели да вас учини чистим и Своју благодат да вам употпуни, да бисте били захвални.
Enyi mlioamini! Mnaposimama kwa ajili ya Sala, basi osheni nyuso zenu, na mikono yenu mpaka vifundoni, na mpake katika vichwa vyenu, na osheni miguu yenu mpaka vifundoni. Na mkiwa na janaba, basi jisafisheni. Na mkiwa wagonjwa au katika safari, au mmoja wenu ametoka chooni au mmewagusa wanawake, na hamkupata maji, basi likusudieni vumbi lililo nzuri, na pakeni nyuso zenu na mikono yenu katika hilo. Hapendi Mwenyezi Mungu kuwatia katika uzito, bali anataka kuwatakasa na kutimiza neema yake juu yenu ili mpate kushukuru.
Troende! När ni vill förrätta bönen, tvätta då ansiktet och händerna upp till och med armbågarna, stryk över huvudet och [tvätta] fötterna upp till och med fotknölarna. Och om ni befinner er i ett tillstånd av större rituell orenlighet, så rena er. Men om ni är sjuka eller på resa, eller om någon av er har uträttat sina behov eller haft intimt umgänge med kvinnor och ni inte finner vatten, ta då ren jord och stryk över ansikte och händer med den. Gud vill inte lägga någon börda på er, utan vill rena er och fullborda sin välsignelse över er, så att ni ska visa tacksamhet.
Ey İman edenler! Namaza kalktığınız zaman yüzlerinizi, dirseklere kadar ellerinizi, başınızı mesh edip, topuklara kadar ayaklarınızı yıkayınız. Eğer cünüp iseniz (gusül alarak) temizlenin, hasta veya yolculukta iseniz veya biriniz tuvaletten gelmişseniz yahut kadınlarınızla münasebette bulunmuş da su bulamamışsanız temiz bir toprakla teyemmüm edin, yüzlerinizi ve ellerinizi onunla meshedin. Allah, size zorluk çıkarmak istemez. Allah sizi arındırmak ve üzerinizdeki nimetini tamamlamak ister. Umulur ki şükredersiniz.
اے ایمان والو! جب تم نماز کے لئے اٹھو تو اپنے منھ کو، اور اپنے ہاتھوں کو کہنیوں سمیت دھو لو[1] اپنے سروں کا مسح کرو[2] اور اپنے پاؤں کو ٹخنوں سمیت دھو لو[3]، اور اگر تم جنابت کی حالت میں ہو تو غسل کرلو[4]، ہاں اگر تم بیمار ہو یا سفر کی حالت میں ہو یا تم میں سے کوئی حاجت ضروری سے فارغ ہو کر آیا ہو، یا تم عورتوں سے ملے ہو اور تمہیں پانی نہ ملے تو تم پاک مٹی سے تیمم کرلو، اسے اپنے چہروں پر اور ہاتھوں پر مل لو[5] اللہ تعالیٰ تم پر کسی قسم کی تنگی ڈالنا نہیں چاہتا[6] بلکہ اس کا اراده تمہیں پاک کرنے کا اور تمہیں اپنی بھرپور نعمت دینے کا ہے[7]، تاکہ تم شکر ادا کرتے رہو۔

They ask you what is permitted for them. Say, "Permitted for you are all good things, including what trained dogs and falcons catch for you." You train them according to what God has taught you. So eat from what they catch for you, and pronounce God's name over it. And fear God. God is Swift in reckoning.
They ask thee (O Muhammad) what is made lawful for them. Say: (all) good things are made lawful for you. And those beasts and birds of prey which ye have trained as hounds are trained, ye teach them that which Allah taught you; so eat of that which they catch for you and mention Allah's name upon it, and observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is swift to take account
They will ask thee what is lawful for them? say, 'Lawful for you are good things and what ye have taught beasts of prey (to catch), training them like dogs; - ye teach them as God taught you; - so eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of God over it, and fear God, for verily, God is swift in reckoning up
They will ask thee what is made lawful for them. Say: Those things which are good are legalised to you, and the prey of beasts of chase which ye have trained like dogs, teaching them as God hath taught you. Eat, therefore, of what they shall catch for you, and make mention of the name of God over it, and fear God: Verily, Swift is God to reckon
They will ask thee what is allowed them as lawful to eat? Answer, such things as are good are allowed you; and what ye shall teach animals of prey to catch, training them up for hunting after the manner of dogs, and teaching them according to the skill which God hath taught you. Eat therefore of that which they shall catch for you; and commemorate the name of God thereon; and fear God, for God is swift in taking an account

Today all good things are made lawful for you. And the food of those given the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste believing women, and chaste women from the people who were given the Scripture before you, provided you give them their dowries, and take them in marriage, not in adultery, nor as mistresses. But whoever rejects faith, his work will be in vain, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
This day are (all) good things made lawful for you. The food of those who have received the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers and the virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you (lawful for you) when ye give them their marriage portions and live with them in honour, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret concubines. Whoso denieth the faith, his work is vain and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter
Lawful for you today are good things, and the food of those to whom the Book has been given is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them; and chaste women of those who believe, and chaste women of those to whom the Book has been given before you, - when you have given them their hire, living chastely and not fornicating, and not taking paramours. But whoso disbelieves in the faith, of a truth his work is vain, and he shall be in the next life of those who lose
This day, things healthful are legalised to you, and the meats of those who have received the Scriptures are allowed to you, as your meats are to them. And you are permitted to marry virtuous women who are believers, and virtuous women of those who have received the Scriptures before you, when you shall have provided them their portions, living chastely with them without fornication, and without taking concubines. Vain the works of him who shall renounce the faith! and in the next world he shall be of the lost
This day are ye allowed to eat such things as are good, and the food of those to whom the scriptures were given is also allowed as lawful unto you; and your food is allowed as lawful unto them. And ye are also allowed to marry free women that are believers, and also free women of those who have received the scriptures before you, when ye shall have assigned them their dower; living chastly with them, neither committing fornication, nor taking them for concubines. Whoever shall renounce the faith, his work shall be vain, and in the next life he shall be of those who perish

O you who believe! Be upright to God, witnessing with justice; and let not the hatred of a certain people prevent you from acting justly. Adhere to justice, for that is nearer to piety; and fear God. God is informed of what you do.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it5 of the 6 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 5:6, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verse set was chosen by the Editor before the study was written, and is NOT a search result. No word search was run, because on this question a word search would have found the wrong verses or missed the point of the passage. Every verse in that set was read in full before use and checked against the claim made for it; a verse whose text did not carry that claim was left out rather than forced.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
Correction record, 2026-09-17. In the answer, an earlier version said the translations all have wash the feet and cited an unnamed history of legal readings; on this page only Pickthall supplies wash, in brackets, and the others join the feet to wiping or rubbing. The verses shown and their translations are unchanged.
