Make Your Intention
Stand facing the Qibla (towards Makkah). Think in your heart which prayer you are going to pray.
Say "Allahu Akbar"
Raise your hands to your ears and say:
"Allahu Akbar" — Allah is the Greatest!
Stand and Recite
Place your right hand over your left hand on your chest. Recite:
1. Opening Dua:
"Subhanaka Allahumma..."
2. Surah Al-Fatihah:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
"Al-hamdu lillahi Rabbil-'alamin..."
3. Another Surah (like Al-Ikhlas):
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
"Qul huwa Allahu Ahad..."
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only!
Ruku — Bowing
Say "Allahu Akbar" and bow down. Put your hands on your knees and keep your back straight. Say:
"Subhana Rabbiyal Adhim" — Glory be to my Lord, the Great
🔄 Say it 3 times
Rise Up
Stand up straight and say:
"Sami' Allahu liman hamidah" — Allah hears those who praise Him
Then say:
"Rabbana wa lakal hamd" — Our Lord, all praise is for You
Sujood — Prostration
Say "Allahu Akbar" and go down. Touch the floor with your forehead, nose, hands, knees, and toes. Say:

🔄 Say it 3 times
Sit and Ask Forgiveness
Say "Allahu Akbar" and sit up. Say:
"Rabbighfir li" — My Lord, forgive me
Then do Sujood again (just like step 6).
Complete Your Rak'ah
Stand up for the second rak'ah and do steps 3-7 again.
📊 How many rak'ahs?
Tashahhud — Testimony
After the last rak'ah, sit and say:
"At-tahiyyatu lillahi..."
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.
Salawat — Blessings on Prophet
Say this special du'a for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:
"Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad..."
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad.
