Method of Prayer
After the salaam, recite the du'a:
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلامُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلامُ
تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ
Allaahum-ma an-tas-salaamu wa min-kas-salaamu, tabaarak-ta yaa dhal-jalaali wal-ikraam
O Allah! You are the bestower of peace, and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Lord of Glory and Honor.
رَبَّنَا اتنا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ
حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Our Lord! Grant us the good of this world and the good of the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the hell-fire.12
For du'a, raise your hands up, but do not raise them too high. They should not be above the shoulders. After finishing du'a, rub both hands over your face.
What is counted on the fingers after saying the prayers?
Subhaanallaah 33 times
Al-hamdu lil-laah 33 times
Allaahu akbar 34 times
There is great reward in doing so.
