How to do Wudu

After listening to the azan, take water and say bismi when you intend to clean it, then do a miswak and clean your teeth and tongue.

Wash your hands three times by saying bismi again.

Then rinse your mouth with water and spit it out through your nose.

Then begin with niyyah or intention. This can be done by quieting your thoughts and becoming mindful of the act you are about to perform. You should say ‘bismillah’ which means “in the name of Allah” before starting wudu.

Then wash your face three times

Then wash your hands and knees three times, first right and then left.

Then wash your head and then the inside and outside of the ear.

Then wash both feet, first right and then left, including the ankle.

So finish the wudu. Pray this prayer without raising your limbs or raising your arms and raising your arms and eyes towards the sky.

اشهد ان لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له واشهد ان محمد عبده ورسوله اللهم اجعلني من التوابين واجعلني من المتطهرين واجعلني من عبادك الصالحين سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك اشهد ان لا اله الا انت استغفرك واتوب اليك

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that I am a servant and messenger of Allah, and to those who repent and those who purify me, I beseech thee, O Allah, I beseech Thee, O Holy One. And repent.)

This is the complete form of Wudu.
