اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِبَاتُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَاالنَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِيْنَ اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لاَّ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ

Tashahud (15 of 17)

Attta-Hee-Yaatu Lillaahi Was-Salawaatu Wat-Taie-Yi-Baatu As-Salaamu Alaika Aie-Yu-Han Nabeeyu Wa Rahmatul Laahi Wa Barakaatu As-Salaamu Alaienaa Wa Alaa Ibaadil Laahis-Saaleheen Aashhadu Allaa Ilaaha Illal-Laahu Wa Aashhadu Aanna Muhammadan Abduhu Wa Rasulu

'O' ALLAH! YOU Alone deserve all Veneration, Worship and Glory. O Prophet! Peace be on you and the Mercy of ALLAH and HIS Blessings. Peace be upon us and on righteous servants of ALLAH. I bear witness that none is worthy of Worship except ALLAH and I bear witness that Muhammad is HIS servant and Messenger.'

At the time of the words Aashhadu, fold the little and ring finger (of the right hand) inwards and form a circle with the middle finger and thumb. Point the index finger towards Qibla by lifting up when saying 'Lâ Ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'Ill Allah', then open the circle and keep your hand straight on thighs.

Point the index finger towards Qibla by lifting up when saying'Lâ Ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'Ill Allah', without opening the circle and keeping fingers in folded form.

Tashahud (15 of 17)

Both options are correct either to open the circle or just drop the finger without opening the circle, so it can be performed in either ways.

After Tashahud, Durood Shareef must be recited in the last rak'at of the Prayer:

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَـا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ اَللَّهُمَّ بَـارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَـا بَـاَرَكْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

Allaahumma Salli'Alaa Muhammadin Wa'Alaa Ali Muhammadin Kamaa Sallaita Alaa I braaheema Wa 'Alaa Ali Ibraaheema Innaka Hameedun Majeed
Alaahumma Baarik 'Ala Muhammadin Wa 'Alaa Ali Muhammadin Kamaa Baarakta 'Alaa Ibraaheema Wa 'Alaa Ali Ibraaheema Innaka Hameedun Majeed

Tashahud (15 of 17)

'O' ALLAH, let YOUR Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as YOU have brought Peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, YOU are PRAISEWORTHY and GLORIOUS.

O ALLAH, Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as YOU have Blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, YOU are PRAISEWORTHY and GLORIOUS.

After Durood, recite this dua:

رَ‌بِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِن ذُرِّ‌يَّتِي ۚ رَ‌بَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ رَ‌بَّنَا اغْفِرْ‌ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ

there is a gap of at least four fingers between your feet. Keep your eyes
at the place of prostration.

You do not need to say it out loud, but you should know type and number

"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer 3 rak'at
Fard of Magrib prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"

Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
