Wudu Research -Volunteers Wanted!

I am hoping to conduct some research into the Effects of Wudu.
Yes that's correct.

Partially inspired by the work of Farouq Molloy's 'Protection' piece [See final image on this beebs piece here], it's something my interest has gradually increased in, over the last couple of years. I wrote a little piece whilst in Pakistan in Spring 2006.


Don't worry it's not as invasive as it sounds.. for now it would suffice to say that this commitment would not take up more than a few minutes of your time on a daily basis for a period of 2 to 3 weeks.

If anyone is willing to help me in this little project, I would love to hear from you. If you can email me on
tranquilart @ gmail.com
I would be very happy. Please mark the subject as 'Wudu Research'.

Alternatively leave me a comment here: they are moderated so I can extract the email and delete the message. Whatever suits thee.

I have set a deadline for finding subjects for 31st January 2008. Thereafter I shall email everyone with what it is I require them to do. It is then up to you whether you wish to remain part of this investigation or say farwell. My only request is that you agree not to have any questions answered until February as I usually have a backlog of emails and also because of the temperament of my wrists.

The findings of my research will not name subjects so rest assured.

In the interim I request your prayers and wishes. Many thanks.

All are welcome.

Hope to hear from you soon :-)

Peace & Prayers,
taslim as
Bint-eh Adam
