Prayer Before and After Correct Wudhu + Meaning
Before praying, it is obligatory for us to perform ablution first.
Even at the time of ablution, we are required to be careful not to miss any of the pillars and conditions of ablution.
We also need to do sunnah ablution such as reading a prayer after ablution. Because the perfection of prayer begins with the perfection of ablution.
Wudhu according to language means clean or beautiful, while according to syara' it means cleaning the members to remove minor hadast.
It would be better, we read the prayer before and after ablution.
Here Yuksinau prepares lafadz before performing ablution and after ablution along with Arabic, Latin, and translations.

Prayer Before Wudhu
Saying 'bismillah' because of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,
لاَ وُضُوءَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
“There is no ablution for those who do not mention the name of Allah.".
But if you forget, then there is no obligation whatsoever.
