Q: What is the first thing everyone does when they enter the mosque?

Prayer is done to honour God, so it is important to be clean before praying.

Most mosques have a place to wash.

As a result, before each of the daily prayers, everyone must wash according to tradition.

This washing is called wudu.

During wudu, each part of the body is washed in an allotted order.
