NECESSARY DUTIES OF SALAAT (WAAJIBAATU-SALAAT)
AND HOW TO RECITE “TASHAHHUD”
In addition to the proceeding 14 pillars of prayer, there are also
certain necessary duties, which need to be fulfilled in the course
of the salaat. They are as follows:
1. All Takbeers except Takbeerat ul-Ihram.
2. Saying “ SUBHANAA RABBIYAL ATHEEM”, (once) in
Rukuu position.
3. Saying “SAMI ALLAHU LIMAN HAMIDAH”(once) while
resuming standing position from the Rukuu, whether the
person is an “Imam” - leading the prayer or is praying alone.
4. Saying “RABBANA WALAKAL HAMD” (once) after resuming
the standing position from the Rukuu. This is required from
the Imam, from the congregation and also when the person
is praying alone.
5. Saying “SUBHANA RABBIYAL A’LAA” (once) when in
Sujuud (Prostration) position.
6. Saying “RABB IGHFIR LEE” in the sitting lull between the
two prostrations of every unit of the prayer.
7. Taking a sitting position on the recitation of the first
Tashahhud at the end of first two rakaats (units) of Dhuhr,
Asr, Maghrib and Isha prayers.
8. Reciting the Al-Tashahhud (words of witness) after the end
of first two rakaats of Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha prayers.
The above 8 acts constitute the necessary duties of the prayer
and if one of them is missed unintentionally, then the person is
required to correct the mistake by performing two prostrations of
forgetfulness at the end of the prayer. However, if any of these
duties is left out deliberately, then the whole prayer is nullified
and shall require a repetition.
HOW TO RECITE “TASHAHHUD”
“Al-tahiyatu lillahi wasalawaatu watayyibaatu, Assalaamu alayka
ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rah-mat- ullahi wa barakaatuhu.
Assalaamu alayna wa ‘alaa ibadi-l-laahi-s-saalihiyn.
al-laa-ilaaha ill-allahu wa ashahadu anna Muhammadan abdoho
wa rasooluhu. Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala aali
Muhammad, kama sallayta ala Ibrahima wa aali Ibrahim. Innaka
Hameedon Majid. Wa baarik ala Muhammad wa ala aali
Muhammad kama baarakta ala Ibrahima was ala aali Ibrahima.
Innaka Hameedon Majid.”
THIS MEANS:
“Greetings, prayers and the good things of life belong to Allah.
Peace, mercy and blessings 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.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family as You blessed
Ibrahim and his family. You are the Most Praised, the Most
Glorious.”
