سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabaara kasmuk wa Ta'ala jadduk wa la ilaha ghairuk

Glory be to You, O Allah, and Yours is the praise and blessed is your Name, and exalted is Your Majesty, and there is no god besides You.


Then recite the opening Surah Al-Fatiha:

أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
اَلْحَمْدُ ِللهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ () الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ () مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ () إيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ () اِهْدِنَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ () صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّيِنَ()

A'udhu Billahi Min ash-Shaitan ir-Rajeem
Bismillahir ramanir rahim
Alhamdulilahi rabbil alamin () Ar-Rahmanir rahim () Maliki yawmid din () iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in () ihdinas siratal mustaqim () siratal ladhina an'amta 'alaihim ghairil maghdubi 'alaihim wa lad-dallin ()

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds () Most Gracious, Most Merciful () Master of the Day of Judgment () Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek () Show us the straight path () The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray ()


Now recite the following or any other passage from the Qur'an:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ اَحَدٌ () اَللهُ الصَّمَدُ () لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ () وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُُفُواً اَحَدٌ ()

Bismillahir ramanir rahim
Qul hu Allahu Ahad () Allahu Samad () Lam yalid wa lam yulad () Wa lam yakul lahu kufuwan ahad ()

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Say, he is Allah, the One () Allah, the Eternal () He begets not, nor was He begotten () And there is none comparable to Him ()

التَّحِيّـاتُ للهِ وَالصَّلَـواتُ والطَّيِّـبات ، السَّلامُ عَلَيـكَ أَيُّهـا النَّبِـيُّ وَرَحْمَـةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكـاتُه ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْـنا وَعَلـى عِبـادِ كَ الصَّـالِحـين . أَشْـهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ الله ، وَأَشْـهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمّـداً عَبْـدُهُ وَرَسـولُه .

At tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu, as-salamu'alaika ayyuhan-Nabbiy wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
As-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala' ibadil-lahis salihin. Ash hadu an-la Ilaha illAllahu Wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasulu.

Our salutations, our prayers and all pure things are for Allah. Salutation to you, O Prophet and Mercy and Blessing of Allah. Peace be on us and on all pious servants of Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the servant and messenger of Allah.

When you reach the point of giving testimony (when you say "La illaha ilAllahu" (I testify that there is no god but Allah), raise the index finger of the right hand. Drop it back down again upon reaching "ilAllahu" (but Allah).


In a three rakat (like Maghrib) or four rakat (like Duhr, Asr and Isha) salah you stand up for the remaining rakat(s) after Tashahhud. No other Surah should be read after surah Fatiha in the third and fourth Rak'ahs of any fard salah.

On the other had if it is a two rakat (like Fajr) salah, keep sitting and after reciting tashahhud, you recite Durud, blessing upon Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam):

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلَى آلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ،
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إئبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهَيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala 'aali Muhammadin, kama salaiyta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala 'aali Ibrahima innaka Hamidun Majeed.
Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin, kama sallaiyta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majeed.

O Allah! Let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You Blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily You are the Pariseworthy Glorious.
O Allah! Confer Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You conferred blessings on Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily You are the Praiseworthy, Glorious.


After this, say any du'a from the following:

اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي ظَلَـمْتُ نَفْسـي ظُلْمـاً كَثـيراً وَلا يَغْـفِرُ الذُّنـوبَ إِلاّ أَنْت ، فَاغْـفِر لي مَغْـفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْـدِك وَارْحَمْـني، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الغَـفورُ الرَّحـيم .

Allahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kathiran, wa la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta, faghfir li maghfiratan min 'indika, warhamni, innaka Antal Ghafur-ur Rahim

O Allah! I have considerably wronged myself. There is none to forgive the sins but You. So grant me pardon and have mercy on me. You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.
[Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim]

رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاء رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ

Rabbij'alni muqimas-salati wamin dhur-riyyati. Rabbana wa taqabbal du'a. Rabban aghfirli wali-walidayya wal-lil-mu'minina yauma yaqumul hisab.

O Lord! Make me and my children steadfast in prayer. Our Lord! Accept the prayer. Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents and the believers on the day of judgement.
[Surah Ibrahim, 14: 40-41]

اَللَّهُـمَّ إِنيِّ أَعوُذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذاَبِ جَهَنَّمَ،وَمِنْ عَذاَبِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ فِتْـنَةِ الْمَحْياَ وَالْمَماَتِ وَمِنْ فِتْـنَةِ الْمَسيِحِ الدَّجاَّلِ

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabi jahannam, wa min 'adhabil-qabr, wa min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat, wa min fitnatil-masihid-Dajjal.

O God! I seek Your protection from the torture of hell, and I seek Your protection from the torture of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the mischief of life and death, and I seek Your protection from the mischief of Dajjal pretending as Messiah.
[Muslim, 588]
