To pray as a Muslim, begin by ensuring you are clean through the wudu, wearing modest clothing, and facing the Qiblah. Make the intention in your heart for the specific prayer, then raise your hands and say “Allāhu Akbar” to start. While standing, recite Sūrat al-Fātiḥah followed by a short surah or verses from the Quran. Then, go to rukū saying “Subḥāna Rabbiyal-ʿAẓīm”, stand up straight praising Allah, go into sujūd saying “Subḥāna Rabbiyal-Aʿlā”, sit briefly, and do a second this completes one rakah. Depending on the prayer, repeat the steps for the required number of rakahs. After the final rakah, sit and recite the Tashahhud and salawat, then end the prayer by turning your head to the right and left, each time saying “As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh”.
