The Prayer

What is recommended to say after finishing the opening takbir

 |  Shaykh Walid As-Samami^ah  |  Prayer

والصَّلَاةُ والسَّلاَمُ عَلَى سَيّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَشْرَفِ اْلمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ الطَّيّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْن




 

Du^a’u l-iftitah or Du^a’u t-Tawajjuh

Wajjahtu wajhiya lilladhi fatara s-samawati wal-’arda hanifa m-muslima, wa ma ‘ana mina l-mushrikin. ‘Inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya wa mamati lil-Lahi rabbi l-^alamin, la sharika lah, wa bi dhalika ‘umirtu, wa ‘ana minal-Muslimin.

The Meaning of the Opening or Tawajjuh Supplication

I direct myself in worship to the One Who created the heavens and Earth, following the upright path, being a Muslim, and not among those who associate partners with Allah. Surely, my prayer, my acts of worship in obedience, my life, and my death belong to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, Who has no partner. With this I was ordered, And I am one of the Muslims.
