How to Pray

How to pray?

• Face the Qiblah toward Mecca, and make sure you are in a clean area. You are about to start one of the following prayers: Subh, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Ishaa.
• Standing, start the prayer by raising both hands close to your ears and saying: Allahu Akbar — God is Most Great.
• Then put one hand on top of the other between your chest and upper stomach. Start reciting Surat Al-Fatiha, say Ameen once you finish it, and then recite another short surah.
• Once you finish reciting, raise your hands to the ears, saying Allahu Akbar. Bow with your hands on your knees, back straight, and face toward the ground, saying three times: Subhana rabbiyal adheem.
• Rise back to standing while saying: Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal hamd.
• Raise your hands and say Allahu Akbar, then descend to the ground. While your face is on the ground, say three times: Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala.
• Rise to a sitting position, saying Allahu Akbar.
• Then prostrate again on the ground and say three times: Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala.
