2 Janazah

After performing Wudu, face towards the Qibla and stand straight so that there is a gap of at least four fingers between your feet. Keep your eyes at the place of prostration. You do not need to say it out loud, but you should know the type and number of rakaat of the prayer you are going to offer. An example would be to think like

"I have presented myself in front of Allah to offer 2 Rakaat Janazah of the Salat-al-Janazah Prayer, for Allah, facing towards Kaaba"

Raise your hands’ palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your thumbs touch ear lobes at bottom and leave the rest of the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart. Say Allahu Akbar as your hands leave ears and fold your hands under the navel.

اللّٰهُ أَكْبَر

Allahu Akbar

Allah is the Greatest

Eyes should be focused at the place of prostration

Tie your hands below the chest and above the naval in the way that the right hand’s thumb and small finger form a circle in which they hold the wrist of the left hand so that the palm of the right hand stays on the back-side of the left hand. Then recite “thana”:

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ اِلهَ غَيْرُك

Subhaana Kal-Laahumma wa Bi-Hamdika wa Tabaarakasmuka wa Ta’ala Jadduka Walaa Ilaaha Ghaie-ruk

All glory is due to YOU, O’ ALLAH! And all praise is due to YOU, and YOUR name is the most blessed, and YOUR majesty is highly exalted and there is none worthy of worship except You

Without raising hands, say:

اللّٰهُ أَكْبَر

Allahu Akbar

Allah is the Greatest

Now, send blessings upon Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by reciting Durood Shareef:

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ اَللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

Allahuumma Saalle ‘Alaa Muhammadin wa ‘Alaa Aale Muhammadin Kamaa Sallaietaa ‘Alaa Ibraaheema wa ‘Alaa Aale Ibraahema Innaka Hamee-dum Maajiid Allahumma Barek ‘Alaa Muhammadin wa ‘Alaa Aale Muhammadin Kamaa Baarak'ata ‘Alaa Ibraaheema wa ‘Alaa Aale Ibraaheema Innaka Hamee-dum Maajiid

O’ ALLAH, let YOUR Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as YOU have brought Peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, YOU are PRAISEWORTHY and GLORIOUS. O’ ALLAH, Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as YOU have Blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, YOU are PRAISEWORTHY and GLORIOUS.

Without raising hands, say:
