Note:
This Document is not for the Beginners
This Document is for the people who know how to Salah
v First take wudu properly, after taking wudu and when you are facing the
Qibla standing to start the Salah
v Make Niyaah (intention) which is fard (compulsory) in your mind and
heart (its optional to say niyyah verbally in your mouth)
For Example: In Fajr Salah
Say I pray two rakah Fard of Salat al-Fajr for Allah Tala (you can also add
facing Qibla, if it is Adha say Adha if it is Qala say Qala, If behind the
imam say behind the imam) (if it is Sunnah Salah say Sunnah)
Note:
You can make intention in your own language.
The Entire Salah should be in Arabic, As Arabic language has
more weightage compared to other languages as it is Allahs
words , but it is important to know the translation , so that you
will come to know what exactly you are saying while doing your
salah for understanding and concentration
To start the salah
v One must pronounce Takbeerat-ul-Ihraam by saying Allahu Akbar
Translation: Allah is the Greatest
v After Takbeerat-ul-Ihraam recite the opening Supplication
Supplication: Vajjahthu Vajhiya lillazee fathara ssamaavathi val Arlla
haneefan vamaa ana minal mushrikeen, Inna swalathi vanusukee
vamahyaaya vamamaathi lillahi rabbil aalameen Laa Shareeka lahu
vabizaalika umirthu va ana minal muslimeen
Translation: I have turned my face sincerely towards He who have
created the heavens and the Earth and I am not of those who associate
(others with Allah). Indeed my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my
death are for Allah, Lord of the worlds, no partner has He, with this I
am commanded and I am of the Muslims

Note:
The opening supplication is not a must to recite, but it is good if you
recite.
There are various opening supplication that you can read, it is not
necessary that you should read vajjahthu supplication.
In the Entire Salah(Namaz) the most important is that you should
recite Surah al Fatihah
You may skip reciting anything except Surah al Fatihah. If you
skip Fatihah your salah wont be accepted.
v After reading the Supplication, you should read Surah al Fatiaah

And say

Translation: Glory to Allah, the Most High
Note:

Saying dua while prostrating is the best of dua, because the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The
closest that any one of you may be to his Lord is when he is
prostrating, so say a lot of dua at that time.
v After Sujood while sitting
Say
Rabbighfir li - Rabbighfir li

Sujood

v In your final rakah while you are sitting you have to recite Thashahud

Translation :

Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allahs mercy and
blessings. Peace be on us and on all righteous slaves of Allah. I
bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah.

I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him ) is his

messenger and servant.
Allaahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala aali Muhammad kama salayta ala
Ibraaheem wa ala aali Ibraaheem, innaka hameedun majeed. Allaahumma
baarika ala Muhammad wa ala aali Muhammad kama baarakta ala
Ibraaheem wa ala aali Ibraaheem, innaka hameedun majeed
Translation:
Oh Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and upon the family of
Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and the family
of Ibrahim, You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory. O

Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory.
After this you can also add
Allaahum-maghfir lee maa qaddamtu, wa maa 'akhkhartu, wa maa 'asrartu,
wa maa 'a'lantu, wa maa 'asraftu, wa maa 'Anta 'a'lamu bihi minnee. 'Antal
Muqaddimu, wa 'Antal-Mu'akhkhiru laa 'ilaaha 'illaa 'Anta.

Translation:
O' Allah! Forgive me for what I have done before and what I
have done afterwards, and whatever I did secretly and whatever
I did openly, and whatever you know more than I do. You are the
One who sends forth and you are the One who delays. There is
none worthy of worship but you.
O Allah, I seek refuge in you from the punishment of the grave,
and from the punishment of Hell-fire and from the trials of life
and death, and from the evil of the trial of dajjal the false Messiah
Then say Assaalaamu Alaykum wa-Rahmatul Laah by turning your head to
Right and to the left
Translation: Peace be upon you and Mercy of ALLAH
