Duaa Al-istiftah(Opening prayer)

 We need to comprehend above all that there is no prayer barring wudu.

and now that the wudu has been completed efficiently we can go beforehand and begin praying Salah.

What to do before Takbir Al-Ahram? :

• We first commenced the prayer by means of making the intention from the heart to pray to Allah;

•  As quickly as you begin, your complete focal point ought to be on the prayer itself and nothing else.

• The second you say “Allahu Akbar” (takbirat Al-ihram ) the prayer begins, From this factor on saying Allahu Akbar is a reminder to the Muslims that Allah is greater than all other thoughts and actions,
• The desirability of raising the hands apposite the shoulders at the time of beginning the prayer,and at the time of bowing, and at the time of returning to the erect position after bowing.
• From Sahih Muslim. Book 004, Number 0758: Salim narrated it on the authority of his father who reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) raising his hands apposite the shoulders at the time of beginning the prayer and before bowing down and after coming back to the position after bowing. but he did not raise them between two prostrations.
 

• while you pray your eyes should always look to where you will prostrate.

• You can choose one of the opening supplications (Duaa Al-istiftahand) say it (after the Takbeer and before Al-Fatihah ); which is not obligatory, but it is desirable. 

What does prayer consist of :

The basic unit of prayer is the RAK'ahTo apprehend the steps of the salah it is essential to recognize that the prayer is made up of Rak'ah (the basic unit of prayer), Every rakah has identical primary steps inside it. so;

What contains rakah :

One rakah contains:

A) Standing: 

1. You take into account previous recommendations we have already said.  
2. You put your right hand on your left hand.
3. then you recite Al-Fatihah.

B) Fatihah:

 –you must recite Surah Al-Fatiha in each and every raka’at of prayer (Surah Al-Fatiha must be read because it is a corner of prayer, If you don't read it, God won't accept your prayer).

This is the meaning of the verses from Surah Fatihah:

"In the name of Allah, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful;
Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Master on the Day of Recompense (Judgement Day).
You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help.
Guide us on the straight path, the path of those who You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked Your anger, and not those who are astray".

After reciting Surah Fatihah, you can recite some other chapter from the Qur’an. However, at a minimum, you should recite Surah Fatihah

C) Ruku – Bow down: This is known as the 'Ruku'

As you are bowing down say ‘Allahu Akbar', Make sure to keep your back straight, your hands on your knees, and your eyes focused on the ground where you will be prostrating.

You will say this  n you are in this position When you are in this position you will say this sentence three times:

Subhanna Allah Al-adheem =  means Allah great, that he is free from any defect or deficiency, or that he has a son or a wife.

D) Return to standing up again:

As you are rising up from the ruku position to a standing position you will bring your hands to your ears and will say:

"Samee Allahu Leeman hameedah"="Allah heard whom he praised.

And when you are standing upright then lower your hand to your waist and say: 

"Rabbana walaka-lhamd "="Our Lord, to You all praise".

Praying in a prostrate position

E)- Go down to perform prostration; This is known as ‘Sujud’ 1:

As you are moving into this position say: "Allahu Akbar”,
In prostration, your forehead and nose touch the ground (prostration position)
Say this phrase three times: whilst you are in sujud.
"Subhanna rabbeeyal ‘Alaa"=" how pefect is my Lord,the Most High"

F) Rise up from sujud:

As you are rising up from the Sujud you say:"Allahu Akbar"

As you rise from the Sujud  and then sit on your left leg, your left foot will rest on the floor while your right foot is upright; Place your hands on your knees; 

When you are in this position; you say :

"Rabbirh-fir lee (says as soon as or twice or three instances )" =" Lord forgive me".

G) -Return to the second sujud :

You will repeat step (E) again and perform the second prostration. 

In the last prostration of prayer you can call your lord any Dua (he forgives you, and gives you the best of this world and the hereafter.

From this point of the second prostration when you say: "Subhanna rabbeeyal ‘Alaa", the first Rak'ah has been completed and you get up to return to standing saying" Allahu Akbar" to start the second Rak'ah

When you attain the quit of the 2nd rakah you will function the tashahud,

H) -Tashahud :

1- After the first two Rak'ahs: 

you say:[ " At Tahiyyaatu lilaahi wa ttayibaatu wa Salawaatu ;

Assalaamu ‘alaika ayyuhan nabiyyu wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakaatuh

Assalaamu ‘alaynaa wa ‘alaa ‘ebaadillaahi ssaaliheen,

Ash hadu allaa ilaha illa Allah  Wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhuu wa rasuuluh]"=

[" All compliments, prayers, and pure phrases are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

Peace be upon us, and on the righteous slaves of Allah".

I endure witnessing that none has the proper to be worshipped barring Allah, and I endure witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger"].

2-  After Three or Four Rak'ahs: 

If this is the last rakah in the prayer then you will add this section to the tashahud:

'Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammad

Kamaa salayta ‘ala Ibraaheem wa ‘ala aali Ibrahim , wa barik ala  Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammad kama barakta ala ibrahim  wa ‘ala aali Ibrahimwa ,Innaka Hameedun Majeed'=

"O Allah, ship prayers upon Muhammad and upon the household (or followers) of Muhammad, Just as You despatched prayers upon Ibrahim and the household (or followers) of Ibrahim,

Verily, you are full of Praise and Majesty".

O Allah, bless Muhammad and the household (or followers) of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim and the household (or followers) of Ibraaheem,

Verily, you are full of Praise and Majesty.

After that, you can call your lord any Dua (he forgives you, and gives you the best of this world and the hereafter).

I) -Tasleem:

after reciting the last part of the tashahud, you will say the “tasleem.”

And then to seem to the left and say it again:
