  11. There are rituals that Muslims must perform before prayer. This (Al Wudu') is the cleaning of the hands, mouth, and face three times with running water, then the washing of both arms to the elbows (starting with the right), also three times. This is followed by cleaning the ears and behind the ears, followed by the top of the head, and then both feet. The area where the prayer is taking place must also be clean. Muslims recite from the Koran and also perform personal prayers. Muslims must stand erect, head down, hands at sides and feet evenly spaced. They must also be sure their rug is facing in the direction of the holy city of Mecca. Prayer is taken seriously and most Muslims devout themselves to this second pillar of Islam.
