Takbir: Entering into the state of prayer by glorifying God. Muslims face towards Makkah and make the intention to pray. To begin the act of prayer, they say 'Allahu Akbar' meaning God is great, raising the hands to the ears or shoulder.
![Page 64: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Qiyaam: Muslims place their right hand over their left on their chest or navel while in the standing position. A short supplication glorifying God and seeking His protection is read. This is then followed by Surah Al Fatiha, which is the first chapter in the Qur'an. Verses from any another chapter are then recited.
![Page 65: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Ruku means bowing. During ruku, Muslims says 'glory be to God, the Most Great', three times.
![Page 66: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Qiyaam: While moving into the upright position, recite 'God listens to the one who praises Him' and while in the standing position, 'To God belongs all praise' then is recited. 'God is Great' is recited again. Each movement is always preceded by the phrase 'God is Great'. This indicates to followers of the prayer that the leader is about to make the next movement.
![Page 67: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Sujud means to prostrate. While in the prostration position 'Glory be to God, the Most High' is repeated three times. Palms, knees, toes, forehead and nose must be the only body parts touching the ground.
![Page 68: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
'God is Great' is recited while moving to the sitting position. Muslims pause here for a few seconds, either staying silent, or reciting a shorter prayer. 'God is Great' is recited once more as the sujud position is taken again.
![Page 69: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Sujud: This sujud is the same as the first one. After reciting 'Glory be to God, the Most High', one 'raka'ah', or unit is complete. Each salah has its own number of units though. The shortest prayer, Fajr, has two.
![Page 70: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Tashahhud: After saying God is Great, Muslims return to the sitting position. They recite a set number of short prayers in Arabic, praising God, and sending peace on the Prophet. They repeat the declaration of faith, raising the forefinger of their right hand, in order to act as a witness.
![Page 71: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
To end the prayer, Muslims first turn their face to the right saying 'Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah.‘ This is said to the Angels which Muslims believe accompany each human being to record their actions.
![Page 72: Islam](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070409/568144a2550346895db16500/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
'Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah' is repeated turning to the left side now. Muslims believe the Angel on the right side records all good actions and thoughts, while the one on the left records all bad actions.
