How to pray — brief overview

Basic steps of obligatory prayer: intention, takbir, recitation, bowing, prostration, sitting, and salam — see i-Fiqh for full guidance.

Obligatory salah in brief (Shafi'i):

  1. Intention in the heart — knowing which prayer and for whom.
  2. Takbiratul ihram — Allahu Akbar, hands raised (sunnah).
  3. Standing — opening supplication (sunnah), al-Fatihah, short surah.
  4. Ruku' — bowing with stillness.
  5. Sujud — twice each rak'ah.
  6. Sitting — tashahhud, salam right and left.

Rak'ah count differs by time (Fajr 2, Dhuhr/Asr/Isha 4, Maghrib 3). For illustrations, recitations, and detailed pillars — use JAKIM i-Fiqh or a local mosque class. We do not reproduce full recitation text here.
