To make yourself ready for salat, you would require to wash your face and arms, wipe your head and wash your feet.
1. Say "Bismillah" Wash both hands completely up to the wrist.
2. Rinse the mouth thoroughly.
3. Sniff water into the nose and blow it out.
4. Wash the face completely.
5. First wash your right hand and forearm, including the elbow.
6. Then wash your left hand and forearm, including the elbow.
7. Pass both your wet hands over your head, from to back and from back to front.
8. Wipe your ears with your fingers from the inside out.
9. First wash your right foot thoroughly, including the ankle.
10. Then wash your left foot thoroughly, including the ankle.
After doing wudu, make known your intention to pray.
1. Raising your hands to your ears, say,"Allahu Akbar" then place the right hand over the left hand on the navel. (For men on the breast for women)
2. Read" subhanaka Allahumma wa bi hamdika wa tavarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk.
A'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajim Bismillahir rahmanir rahim."
Allah all glory and praise belong to You alone. Blessed is Your name and exalted is Your Majesty, there is no god but You. I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Satan. In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
3.After this read,
"Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin ar rahmanir rahim. Maliki yawmiddin Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in Ihdinassiratal mustaqim siratal ladhina an'amta alayhim ghyril maghdubi'alayhim waladdallin Amin."
Praise be to Allah Lord of the Universe the Compassionate the Merciful and Master of the Day of judgment. You along we worship and to you alone we turn for heal. Guide us to the straight path. The path of those whom you have favored. Not of those who have incurred Your wrath nor of those who have gone astray.
Now add on for the short surah of the Quran such as the surah al-Ikhlas:
"Qull huwallahu ahad. Allahussamad lam yalid walam yulad walam yakullahu kufuwan ahad."
Say: He is Allah the one and Only Allah the eternal absolute; He begot none nor was He begotten. And there is none equal to Him.
4. Now say, "Allahu akbar," bowing down and then say subhana rabbiyal azim three times.
5. Rising now to a standing position say "SamiAllahu liman hamidah." or say "Rabbana laka hamd," if you are praying behind an Imam.
6.Saying "Allahu akbar" prostrate yourself on the foloor and say three time,"Subhana rabbiyal ala"
7. Now rise to the seated position, saying "Allahu akbar" and then again prostrate yourself and say three time,"Subhana rabbiyal ala". Now get up saying "Allahu akbar". This completes on rakah. The second rakah will be performed in the same way except that steps and will not be repeated
8. "At tahiyyatu lillahi was salawatu wat tayyibat. As salamulaika ayyuhan nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Assalamu alayna wa'ala ibadillahis salihin. Ashhadual la ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasulu."
Salutaion prayes and good works are all for Allah. Let ther be peace. Allah's mercy and blessings on you O prohept. Peace be on us and on all Allah's righteous servants. I testify that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.
If the prayer has more than two rakahs stand up for the remaining rakahs. If it is a two rakah prayer remain seated and read.
"Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin kama sallyta ala Ibrahima wala ali Ibrahim innaka hamdum majid.
Allah bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed ibrahim and his family for You are the Praiseworthy and the Glorious.
Allahumma barkalla Muhmmadin walla ali Muhammadin kama barakta alla Ibrahima waala ali Ibrahim innaka hamdum majid.
Allah blessed Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim for you ar eth Praised the Magnified.
Allahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kthiran wa la yaghfirudh dhunuba illa anta faghfirli magfiramtam min indika warhamni innaka antal ghafuru rahim."
Allah I have been unjust to myself too unjust. No one can grant pardon for my sins except You so grant me Your forgiveness and have mercy on me for You are the Forgiver the Merciful.
Now turn your face first to the right and then to the left saying. Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah
For 3 rakah witr wajib you will recite
"Allahuma inee na'steenuka wa nastaqfuruka wa numeno beka wa natawakalu alaika wa nuthnee alaikal khair wa nashkuruka wa laa nakfuruka wa nuthne alaikal khair Allahumm iyaka naabudu wa la ka nusale wa nasjudu wa elayka nathaa wa nahfudu wa narjo rahmatuka wa nakhshaa azabaka ina azabaka bill kufare mul heq."
This completes the prayer.
. Most frequent prayer of Muhammad pbh Oh allah grant us good in this world and the hereafter and save us from the punishment of fire
