لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَليِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

la hawla wala quwwata illa billahil aliyy'al azeem

There is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, the All-great.

                                                Then once

يَا عَزِيزُ يَا غَفَّارُ

ٱغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَذُنُوبَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤمِنَاتِ

فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ انْتَ

Ya azeezu ya ghaffar

ighfir le dhunubi wa dhunuba jameea al mumeneena wal mumnenaati

 

Fa inna hu la yaghfiru aldhunuba illa anta

O Almighty! O All-forgiving!

(Please) forgive my sins and the sins of all believing men and women,

 

for none can forgive sins save You.

 so based on the hadith above, can I just do wudu and preform the prayer, or is it wajib to do ghusl for this prayer?

 

Ghusl is not wajib
Just wudhu is enough.
