Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds: The Beneficent, the Merciful.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds: The Beneficent, the Merciful. Owner of the Day of Judgment. You (alone) we worship; You (alone) do we ask for help. Show us the straight path: The path of those whom You have favored; not (the path) of those who earn Your anger nor of those who go astray.

Bismil-la’hir Rahm’annir-Rahim Alhamdu-lill’ahi rabbil ‘a’alamin*Arrahm’ani-rrahim*M'aliki yawmmid-din*Iyy’aka na‘abudu w a ’iyy’aka nasta ‘in* ’ihdin’a siratal mustaqim*Siratal ladhina ’an‘amta ‘alayhim ghayril maghdubi ‘alayhim waladdallin. Having recited the Surah of Praise, one of the Surah from the Holy Qur’an is recited e.g. Surah The Purity[^3] as follows: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Bowing (Ruku‘) Having recited the Surah Praise and another Surah, one should bow (Ruku‘) i.e. bending to the extent that that the hands reach until the knees, then one should recite: Pure and Glorified is my Lord, the Highest to Whom we offer the Praise.

(Subhan rabbiyal-‘azimi wa bihamdihi). Or should say three times: Glory be to God (Subhanallahi). After completion of bowing (Ruku‘), one should stand up, take a short pause and it is recommended to recite: God listen to those who offer His praise (Sami‘a All’ahu-liman-hamidah). 5.
