Which Quranic verse clarifies the basis of intention in wudu'?
Ibn Kathir and Ibn al-Arabi mentioned that the verse from Al-Ma'idah (5:6), "O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces," indicates the obligation of intention () in ablution (wudu').
They also clarified that the verse from Az-Zumar (39:2-3), "So worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion. Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion," is evidence for the obligation of intention in every action, and ablution is among the greatest of actions.
Al-Qurtubi mentioned that the verse from Al-Bayyinah (98:5), "And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion," indicates the obligation of intention in acts of worship, because sincerity is a heart-centered action intended for the sake of Allah the Almighty.
