SUJŪD (prostration)

The first Prostration
When these seven parts of the body are placed on the ground,
we recite the dhikr:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَىٰ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

subḥāna rabbiyal aʿlā wa biḥamdih

My most high Lord is free from imperfections, and I praise Him.

Or instead of, we can say three times
سبحان الله      3 times      
Subḥānal lāh    3 times
Allah is free from imperfections



Sit up
 Then, we raise the head off the ground, sit still , and recite:

اللّهُ أَکْبَرُ
‘allāhu akbar’
Allah is greater [ than what He is described as]

استغفر الله ربی و اتوب الیه
As Tagh Fir ul Laha Rabbi Wa Atoobu Ilaih
I ask Allah, my Lord, to cover up my sins and unto him turn repentant

اللّهُ أَکْبَرُ
‘allāhu akbar’
Allah is greater [ than what He is described as]


Then, we perform the second Prostration and recite the dhikr:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَىٰ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

subḥāna rabbiyal aʿlā wa biḥamdih

My most high Lord is free from imperfections, and I praise Him.

Or instead of, we can say three times
سبحان الله      3 times      
Subḥānal lāh    3 times
Allah is free from imperfections


Then, we raise the head off the ground, sit still, and recite:

اللّهُ أَکْبَرُ
‘allāhu akbar’
Allah is greater [ than what He is described as]

After reciting ‘allāhu akbar’, we recite tashahhud
