Stand on the rug to begin your prayer. Your feet should be at the bottom of the rug pointing towards the top of the rug.

• Focus and Intend to Pray

Clear your mind and focus on the purpose of your prayer, called “Niyyah” or INTENTION. After making Niyyah, you are all ready to connect with the Almighty and you are not supposed to talk to anyone.

• Perform the Prayer Movements

In Islam, we call prayer “Salah”. It involves specific movements and recitations. Here are the steps you follow to perform each unit of prayer, called “RAKAT”:

1. Standing (Qiyam): Raise your hands to your ears saying “ALLAH HU AKBAR” Begin by standing straight with your hands raised to your ears, then place them over your chest and recite “SURAH FATIHA” and “SURAH iKHLAS”.
2. Bowing (Ruku): Put your hands on your knees and bend forward saying “SUBHANA RABI ALAZEEM” thrice time. After this stand straight by saying “SAMI ALLAH HU LIMAN HAMIDA RABBANA LAKAL HAMD”
3. Prostration (Sujood): Kneel and place your forehead, nose, palms, knees, and toes on the mat and say “SUBHANA RABI AL ALA” thrice time.
4. Sitting (Jalsa): Sit up with your legs folded under you after each prostration.
5. Second Prostration (Sujood): Repeat the prostration step before standing up again for the next Rakat.
6. Tash’had: Fold your legs and sit and recite “TASH’HAD, DAROOD E IBRAHIMI, DUA”
7. Conclude: after completing all your RAKAT, end your prayer with SALAM “ASSALAM U ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAH” to your right and left side.
