Reflect on making wudu the Prophetic way

About the project

Reviving the Sunnah is an important project we are running during Ramadan 2024/1445, in partnership with Cambridge Water.

Today, many of us make wudu under a running tap, using around 6 litres every minute. However, in the Sunnah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) performs wudu using 1 mudd of water. This is approximately just 1 litre*.

With your help, we want to revive this important practice and spread the word to our brothers and sisters.

*Prophetic usage is based on hadith from Al-Tirmidhi, 56.

Watch Imam Sejad attempt to perform wudu the Prophetic way

Make your intention today to follow this method and make wudu as our Prophet (PBUH) did.

An ordinary household jug is ideal for measuring out 1 litre.

Not only will you be following the way of the Prophet (PBUH) but helping to save thousands of litres every day, conserving our precious chalk streams in the Cambridge area. 

Your rewards will flow in this life and the next – and multiplied even further thanks to this holiest of months. 

Spread the Word to Revive the Sunnah and help your family and friends make wudu using only 1 litre.

We are working in partnership with Cambridge Water to Revive the Sunnah amongst everyone who attends Cambridge Central Mosque. Your task is to spread the word to friends and family, both locally and across the UK (or even beyond!). 

But the good deeds do not end there. Water companies and mosques around the country will use the results of our project to create a blueprint. It will help many Muslims in the UK save water, avoid waste and Revive the Sunnah.

Why is this project important?


Make your pledge

“I intend to use just 1 litre of water to make wudu and Revive the Sunnah”

By taking part, you’ll help Cambridge Water measure how much water our brothers and sisters are saving.

In turn, this will help create a blueprint to help and encourage all Muslims in the UK to make wudu in the Prophetic way, save water and Revive the Sunnah. 

As we see from the hadith where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it.” (Sahih Muslim 1893)
