Muslims who come to the Mosque to pray must perform wudu before doing so. Wudu is often translated as "partial ablution". This is a sacred wash that symbolises spiritual cleansing and purity when coming before God. They must wash the exposed parts of the body so they are clean and presentable when praying as they believe Allah watches them pray. These exposed parts include washing their hands, mouth, throat, nose, ears, arms up to the elbow and feet. The Islamic prophet Muhammad once said that "Cleanliness is half of faith".

To purify themselves before going to pray to God. As we wash with water, its as if we're washing away all the bad stuff we may have done since last time.

my answer:-

to cleanse ourselves before we pray because we always urinate and stuff before we pray just like the answer above mine said.

Coz God/Allah is beautiful, only accepts beauty, and kind only accepts kindness.
So, when standing in front of your lord, you must be clean, wearing your best clean clothing, putting perfume "for men, esp in fridays", and standing in humility before your Lord.
