Reading of Salah - 4

ASH-HADU AL-LA ILAHA IL-LAL-LAHU I bear witness to the fact that there is no deity but Allah.
WA-ASH-HADU AN-NA MUHAMMADAN `ABDUHU WARASULUH I bear witness taht Muhammad is His slave and messenger.
In a three raka`at (i.e. Maghrib) or four raka`at (like Zuhr, `Asr and `Isha) Salah you stand up for the remaining raka`at after Tashahhud. On the other had if it is a two raka`at (Fajr) Salah, keep sitting and after this recite Darud (blessing for the Prophet) in these words:
AL-LAHUM-MA SAL-LI`ALA MUHAMMAD-IN WA `ALA ALI MUHAMMADIN O Allah, exalt Muhammad and the followers of Muhammad AL-LAHUM-MA SALAITA `ALA IBRAHIMA WA`ALA ALI IBRAHIMA As Though did exalt Ibrahim and his followers. IN-NAKA HAMIDUM MAJEED Thou art the praised, the Glorious. AL-LAHUM-MA BARIK MUHAMMAD-IN O Allah, exalt Muhammad

WA 'ALA ALI MUHAMMADIN and his followers KAMABARAKTA 'ALA IBRAHIMA WA 'ALA ALI IBRAHIMA as Thou has blest Ibrahim and his followers. IN-NAKA HAMIDUM-MAJEED Thou art the Praised, the Glorious.

Then say silently:

RAB-BIJ-'ALNI MUQIMAS-SALATI WAMIN DHUR-RIY-YATI O Lord! Make me and my children steadfast in Prayer; RAB-BANA WATAQAB-BAL DU'A' RAB-BIGH FIRLI Lord! Accept the prayer. Our Lord! forgive me. WA LIWALIDAY-YA WALIL-MU'MININA YAUMA YAQUM-UL HISAB and my parents and believers on the Day of Judgement.

Now turn your face to the right (as in figure 30) saying;

AS-SALAMU 'ALAIKUM WA-RAHMATUL-LAH Peace be on you and Allah's blessings.

Then turn your face to the left (as in figure 31) and repeat the above words (aloud). This completes your two raka'at Salah. The four raka'at of Zuhr, 'Asr and 'Isha are said in an identical manner with the only difference that in the first two Raka'at of Zuhr and 'Asr, Al-Fatihah is said silently while in 'Isha prayer it is recited aloud. If you are performing a three raka'at (like Maghrib) or four raka'at (like Zuhr, 'Asr and 'Isha) Salah stand up after Tashahhud saying ALLAHU AKBAR and recite Al-Fatihah. You must remember that Al-Fatihah is always recited silently in the third and fourth raka'at of every Salah. When you are offering Fard Salah do not recite any additional passage from the Holy Qur'an after Al-Fatihah in the last two raka'at. After the second Sajdah in the fourth raka'at say the Tashahhud, Darud and end with "AS-SALAMU 'ALAIKUM WA-RAHMATUL-LAH" to each side (first right, then left as shown in the above pictures). This marks the end of Salah.
