It is as though Allah Almighty tells us to wash our faces in wudu, so they may shine on the Day of Judgement instead of turning dark. It is as though He instructs us to wash our hands, so our book of deeds is given in our right hand instead of left.

It is as though He commands us to moisten our heads so we are not dragged to Hellfire by them, and enter Paradise instead. It is as though He ordains for us to wash our feet, so neither shackles of Hellfire are placed around them nor do they falter on the Bridge of Ṣirāṭ, allowing us to enter Paradise in complete ease.^[1]

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Look at the immense blessings that come with doing wudu. It results in sins being washed away, one receiving their book of deeds in their right hand, a shining face on the Day of Judgement, and ease when crossing the Bridge of Ṣirāṭ, and entry into Paradise - اِنْ شَآءَ اللہُ الْکَرِیْم.

Because of all this, we should try our best to make a habit of always being in wudu. We can be lazy when it comes to this, so we should replace this laziness with positivity and eagerly make wudu. Whenever our wudu breaks, we should make a habit of doing it again immediately اِنْ شَآءَ اللہُ الْکَرِیْم. Whatever short term difficulty we may face in doing this will bring ease for us on the Day of Judgement.
