Islamic and Mandaean Ablutions and Fasting

Washing and fasting rites of the Abrahamic water traditions: the Muslim wudu ablution before prayer, the fast of sawm in Ramadan and the Mandaean masbuta, the baptism in running water. A ritual belongs here when its cited article describes a purifying ablution or fast of Islam or Mandaeism. It excludes Jewish immersion. Examples in the atlas include Masbuta, Wudu (Ablution) and Sawm (Fasting). The group joins rites of washing and abstaining that make a believer fit to pray or to be baptised.
