How to Pray
Complete guide to the pillars of prayer and their duas
1🕌 Intention & Standing
Face the Qibla and make the intention in your heart. Purity is a condition: ensure your wudu is valid.
2🤲 Opening Takbir
Raise your hands to shoulder level and say: "Allahu Akbar", then place your right hand over your left on your chest.
اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ
📖 دعاء الاستفتاح — رواه البخاري
3📖 Reciting Al-Fatihah
Recite Surah Al-Fatihah completely — it is a pillar in every raka’ah. Then recite any surah in the first two raka’at.
4🙇 Ruku (Bowing)
Say Allahu Akbar and bow until your back is horizontal, placing hands on knees. Say three times:
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ
📖 رواه مسلم
5🧎 Sujud (Prostration)
Prostrate on seven bones: forehead with nose, both palms, both knees, toes of both feet. Say three times:
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى
📖 رواه مسلم
6🤝 Tashahhud & Salam
Sit in the final tashahhud and recite the tashahhud, then the Ibrahimi salawat, then the refuge dua, then give salam right and left.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ
