Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.

there is a gap of at least four fingers between your feet.

Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
While bending, without raising arms and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
"Allah is The Greatest"
Bend your back only far enough to touch your knees with closed fingers, and not grasp them with the fingers spread wide open. You should tuck your arms into the body by not spreading them outward. Looking from far it will look like a bow arc (Do not flatten your back). Once you are bent to the proper angle, say (three or more odd times):
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّىَ الْعَظِيْمِ
Subhanna Rabbeyal Azeem
"Glorified is my Lord, the most great."
Rise up from ruku, leaving the hands hanging at the sides and recite (while standing up) :
سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَه
Samey - Allahu - leman - Hameda.
'ALLAH listens to him who Praises HIM'
And then also say:
رَبَّنَـا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ
Rabbana Lakal Hamd
'O' our SUSTAINER! All Praise is due to YOU Alone'
Note: The congregation behind the Imam will not say 'Samey Allahu leman Hameda', they will only say 'Rabbanâ lakal Hamd.'
Whilst going down for sajdah, say: “Allah u Akbar” without raising your hands up.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ

"Allah is The Greatest"
Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
4 rak'at
Sunnah of Duhar prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
4 rak'at
Fard of Duhar prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Sunnah of Duhar prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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

'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Nafal of Duhar prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
4 rak'at
Sunnah of Asar prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Subhanna - Rabbeyal - Alla
'Glorified is my Lord, the most high.'
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
"Allah is The Greatest"
Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
4 rak'at
Fard of Asar prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Bend your back only far enough to touch your knees with closed fingers, and not grasp them with the fingers spread wide open. You should tuck your arms into the body by not spreading them outward. Looking from far it will look like a bow arc (Do not flatten your back). Once you are bent to the proper angle, say (three or more odd times):
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّىَ الْعَظِيْمِ
Subhanna Rabbeyal Azeem
"Glorified is my Lord, the most great."

And then also say:
رَبَّنَـا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ
Rabbana Lakal Hamd
'O' our SUSTAINER! All Praise is due to YOU Alone'
Note: The congregation behind the Imam will not say 'Samey Allahu leman Hameda', they will only say 'Rabbanâ lakal Hamd.'

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"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
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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

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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Sunnah of Magrib prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.

hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
4 rak'at
Sunnah of Isha prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
4 rak'at
Fard of Isha prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

Nastaeen,Ihdinassiraatalmustaqeem,Siraatalladheena Anamta Alayhim,Ghayril
Maghdoubialayhim,Waladduaaallen
'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.
While bending, without raising arms and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
"Allah is The Greatest"

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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

'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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Sunnah of Isha prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Nafal of Isha prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:

Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:

اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
"Allah is The Greatest"
Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
3 rak'at
Witar of Isha prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa
Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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

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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats
of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Nafal of Isha prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'All glory is due to YOU, O ALLAH! And all praise is due to
You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
Then recite tasmiyah:
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the day of judgement. You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'
Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad
"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"
Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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

'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.
OR
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.
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.
Rise from sajdah. Do not stand up immediately from the sajdah, first make sitting posture
and then place your hands on your knees and stand upright (don't put your hand on the ground to assist you to stand up).

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
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.
OR
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.
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

'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ

Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on.

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

An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Fard of Jumma prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.

اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk

You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'

As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After performing Wazu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that
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
of rak'ats of the prayer you are going to offer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Sunnah of Jumma prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and leave
the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Say "Alah u Akbar" as your hands leave shoulders and fold your hands at your chest.
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration. It is recommended to raise hands under your veil.
Place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left
hand in a way that palm of your right hand is on the back of the palm
of left hand and fingers are straight.
Then recite thana:
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ

You, and Your name is the most blessed, and YOUR
majesty is high exalted and there is none worthy of worship except YOU'
Then recite tawwazu:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'

بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-Millahir Rahmaanir Raheem
'In the name of Allah, the Most Kind and the Most Merciful'
Then recite Surah Fatiha:
الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.
Then recite Surah Ikhlas:
قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ ۚ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ۚ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
You do not need to say it out loud, but you need to know that you are going to offer 4 rakaats of the Tasbeeh prayer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
4 rak'at
of Tasbeeh Prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration.
Tie your hands and place the left hand on the chest and the right hand on top of the left hand. The following should be recited after this:-
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ

'Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him'

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

'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.
OR
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.
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:
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.

'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
You do not need to say it out loud, but you need to know that you are going to offer 2 rakaats Nafal Muhtasib of Istakhara prayer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Nafal Muhtasib of Istakhara Prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration.
Tie your hands and place the left hand on the chest and the right hand on top of the left hand. The following should be recited after this:-

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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:
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.

'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
After salam, you have completed the 2 nafal rakaats of istakhara prayer. Now recite the following dua:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمَكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ، وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
Allaahumma Innee Astakheeruka Bi-Ilmik, Wa Astaqdiruka Bi-Qudratik, Wa Asaluka Min Fadlik-Al-Azeem, Fa Innaka Taqdiru Wa Laa Aqdir, Wa Talamu Wa Laa Alam, Wa Anta Allaam-ul-Ghuyoob, Allaahumma In Kunta Talamu Anna (Haadhal-Amra) Khayrun Lee Fee Deenee Wa Maaashee Wa Aaqibati Amree, Faqdurhu Lee Wa Yassirhu Lee, Thumma Baarik Lee Feeh, Wa In Kunta Talamu Anna (Haadhal-Amra) Sharrun Lee Fee Deenee Wa Ma-Aashee Wa Aaqibati Amree, Fasrifhu Annee Was-Rifnee Anhu Waqdur Liyal-Khayra Haythu Kaana, Thumma Ardinee Bih
'O Allah, with Your knowledge I seek the good, with Your power I seek ability and Your mighty favour for certainly You have the power that I don't have, You know and I do not Know and You Know the unseen. O Allah, in Your knowledge if this work is good for me in this Duniya and the Akhirah (hereafter), then let it be for me, grant me blessings in it and if it is bad for me then keep it far away from me and grant me any destiny that will make me happy.'
Think of the matter while looking at the hands for which you are offering Istikhara prayer. Note: After the completion of all steps, go to sleep.
You do not need to say it out loud, but you need to know that you are going to offer 2 rakaats Wajib of Eid prayer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Wajib of Eid Prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration.
Tie your hands and place the left hand on the chest and the right hand on top of the left hand. The following should be recited after this:-
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'Glory be to You, O Allah, and all praises are due unto You, and blessed is Your Name and high is Your Majesty and none is worthy of worship but You'
Again raise your hands palms facing towards Kaaba,
up till your ear lobes and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Repeat this step 3 times
Tie your hands and place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left hand and recite:

Allahu Akbar
"Allah is The Greatest"
Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:
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
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.
OR
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.
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:
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.
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
'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
Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab
'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'
After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Then facing towards the left direction, sight on the shoulder and say:
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'
Note: When offering Prayer it is very important to make sure that in the first rak'at a big (as in size) Surah is recited and in the second rak'at a smaller Surah is recited, and so on. As well as this, the order in which the Surahs occur in the Holy Qur’ān should be taken care of and kept consistent with their sequence.
You do not need to say it out loud, but you need to know that you are going to offer 2 rakaats Wajib of Eid prayer.
An Example would be to think like:
"I have presented myself in front of ALLAH to offer
2 rak'at
Wajib of Eid Prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"
Raise Your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your shoulders and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration.
Tie your hands and place the left hand on the chest and the right hand on top of the left hand. T he following should be recited after this:-
اسُبْحَا نَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكََ
Subhaana Kal-Laahumma Wa Bi-Handika Wa Tabaarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Walaa LLaaha Ghaie-Ruk
'Glory be to You, O Allah, and all praises are due unto You, and blessed is Your Name and high is Your Majesty and none is worthy of worship but You'
Again raise your hands palms facing towards Kaaba,
up till your ear lobes and say:
اَللهُ أكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
'Allah is The Greatest'
Repeat this step 3 times
Tie your hands and place the left hand on the chest and right hand on top of the left hand and recite:
اَعُوْذُبِا للهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمْ
Aauodu Billah Minash-Shaytaanir Rajeem
'I seek Allah's protection from Satan who is accursed'
