How To Perform Salat Al-Fajr (Dawn Prayer)

How to perform Salat al-Fajr (Dawn prayer),

which consist of two units (each unit of prayer is called a rak`ah)

Preparation

Stand upright facing the Qiblah (direction of Mecca) and recite the adhan and iqama. Please note that all the recitations during the prayer must be in Arabic. Although approximate transliteration has been given below for each recitation, it is best to try and learn the Arabic script and pronounciations.Niyyah : Form the following solemn intention in your mind: “I offer this dawn prayer, of two rak`ah’s seeking closeness to God”.

The First Rak`ahTakbiratul Ihram : Lift both hands up to the ears and say: Allaahu akbar


Translation and notes:God is Greater

Qiyam : Remain in the standing position while performing the recitations in the next step, Qira’ahQira'ah : Initially, recite the first Chapter of the Holy Qur’an, Surat al-Fatiha

Recite:

Bismillaahi’r-Rahmaani’r-Raheem Al-hamdu lillaahi rabbil-`aalameen
Arrahmaanir raheem
Maaliki yawmid-deen
Iyyaaka na`budu wa iyyaaka nasta`een
Ihdinas-siraat al-mustaqeem
siraat al-ladheena an`amta `alayhim
ghayril maghdoobi `alayhim
wa la’d-daalleen



In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Praise belongs to God, Lord of the World, the Merciful, the Compassionate, Master of the Day of Judgement;
We worship only You, and from You alone do we seek help.
Lead us on the straight path, the path of those whom You have blessed, not of those on whom is [Your] Wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.

Then, recite another complete Chapter of the Holy Qur'an (we choose the short chapter number 112, Surat al-Ikhlas).

Recite:

Bismillaahi’r-Rahmaani’r-Raheem Qul huwallaahu ahad
Allaahus samad
Lam yalid walam yoolad
Wa lam yakullahu kufuwan ahad.



In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Say: ‘He is God, the One,
God the Eternal and Besought of all,
Neither begetting nor begot, Nor is there anything comparable or equal to Him.

RukuRuku` : After completing the second chapter, the worshipper would say the Takbir (Allaahu akbar ) and then bow down until the hands can be placed on the knees. The following dhikr (glorification) should be recited once in this position: Recite: Subhaana rabbiy al-`azeemi wa bihamdih
Glory be to my Lord, the Great, and praise belongs to Him

Resume the standing position and recite Takbir (Allaahu akbar )

Sajda (Sujud )Sajda (Sujud ) means that one should place one's forehead on earth in a special manner, with the intention of humility before God. While performing the sujud, it is obligatory that both the palms and the knees, and both the big toes be placed on the soil. The following dhikr should be recited in the sujud once:

Recite: Subhaana rabbiy al-a`laa wa bihamdih
Glory be to my Exalted Lord, and praise belongs to Him

After first sujud, raise the forehead and sit up in a kneeling position with the ankle of the right foot in the sole of the left foot, with hands resting on the thighs and say Takbir, and then followed by Takbir again.

Recite:
Subhaana rabbiy al-a`laa wa bihamdih
Repeat the sujud again
