4 Tasbeeh

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 4 Rakaat Tasbeeh of the Salat-al-Tasbeeh 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

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ اِلهَ غَيْرُك

O’ ALLAH! YOU Alone deserve all Veneration, Worship and Glory. O Prophet! Peace be on you and the Mercy of ALLAH and HIS Blessings. Peace be upon us and on righteous servants of ALLAH. I bear witness that none is worthy of Worship except ALLAH and I bear witness that Muhammad is HIS servant and Messenger.

At the time of the words Aashhadu, fold the little and ring finger (of the right hand) inwards and form a circle with the middle finger and thumb. Point the index finger towards qibla by lifting up when saying 'Lâ ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'ill Allah', then open the circle and keep your hand straight on thighs. OR Point the index finger towards qibla by lifting up when saying 'Lâ ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'ill Allah', without opening the circle and keeping fingers in folded form. Both options are correct either to open the circle or just drop the finger without opening the circle, so it can be performed in either ways.

اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ ا لِلَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُه ط اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ ا لِلَّهِ الصّلِحِيْنَ ~ اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لاَّ اِلهَ اِلاَّ اللَّهُوَاَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

Attta-hee-yaatu Lillaahi was-Salawaatu wat-Taie-yi-baatu As-Salaamu ‘Alaika Aie-yu-han Nabeeyu wa Rahmatul Laahi wa Barak'atu As-Salaamu ‘Alaienaa wa ‘Alaa ‘Ibaadil Laahis-Saaleheen Aashhadu Allaa Ilaaha Illal-Laahu wa Aashhadu Aanna Muhammadan ‘Abduhu wa Rasulu

O’ ALLAH! YOU Alone deserve all Veneration, Worship and Glory. O Prophet! Peace be on you and the Mercy of ALLAH and HIS Blessings. Peace be upon us and on righteous servants of ALLAH. I bear witness that none is worthy of Worship except ALLAH and I bear witness that Muhammad is HIS servant and Messenger.

At the time of the words Aashhadu, fold the little and ring finger (of the right hand) inwards and form a circle with the middle finger and thumb. Point the index finger towards qibla by lifting up when saying 'Lâ ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'ill Allah', then open the circle and keep your hand straight on thighs. OR Point the index finger towards qibla by lifting up when saying 'Lâ ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'ill Allah', without opening the circle and keeping fingers in folded form. Both options are correct either to open the circle or just drop the finger without opening the circle, so it can be performed in either ways. After Tashahud, Durood Shareef must be recited in the last rak'at of the Prayer:

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.

After Durood, recite this dua:

رَبِّ ٱجعَلنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّل دُعَآءِرَ‌بَّنَا اغْفِرْ‌ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ

rabbi jaalni muqeemassalati wa min zurriyyati rabbana wataqabbal dua Rabbanaghfirli wali wali daiyya wa lil moominina youma yaqoomul hisaab

O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.

After reciting dua, face towards the right direction,sight on shoulder and say:

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ا لِلَّهِ

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

‘Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah’
