    Ihdinas sirata al-mustaqeem. Siratal ladhina an'amta alai-him,

    ghai-ril maghdubi alaihim, wa lad-daa-leen. (Aameen)

    "Praise be to Allah, The Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straight way, the way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose (portion) is not wrath, And who go not astray."

(After that raise your right index finger as you recite the next part/parts)

"All our oral, physical and monetary ways of worship are only for Allah. Peace, mercy and blessing of Allah be on you, O Prophet. May peace be upon us and on the devout slaves of Allah. I testify that there is no God but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and messenger".

If it is the 2nd rakah , say Allahu Akbar, stand up and continue with steps 3-10.

Continue if it is the 4th rakah.

  1. "Prayer for the prophet/darood": (continuation from the last part)

Alla-humma salli ala Muhammadin wa-ala ali Muhammadin kama sallaita'ala Ibrahima wa-ala ali Ibrahim innaka hamidun majid. Allahumma barik-ala Muhammadin wa-ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta'ala Ibrahima wa-ala ali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid.

"O God send your Mercy on Muhammad and his posterity as you sent Your mercy on Abraham and his posterity. You are the Most Praised, The Most Glorious. O God, send your Blessings on Muhammad and his posterity as you have blessed Abraham and his posterity. You are the Most praised, The Most Glorious".
