    There is also the du’a after wudu (to say after the shahadah) which has much benefit:

    اللهمّ اجْعَلنِى منَ التَّوَّابينَ واجْعلنى منَ المُتَطَهِّرينَ

    Also, 2 raka’at tahiyyatul wudu. And while doing wudu washing more than is required will increase your shining (by which Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم will find you) on the Day of Judgment.

    Jazak Allahu khayr for the post.
