Prayer Before Going to Worship

O God, place within my heart Light, upon my tongue Light, within my ears Light, my eyes Light, place behind me Light, and in front of me Light, above me Light, and beneath me Light. O God, bestow upon me Light.

The Call to Prayer

God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest! Come to success! Come to success! Come to prayer! Come to success! Come to success! I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but God. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but God. I bear witness that Mohammed is the Prophet of God. I bear witness that Mohammed is the Prophet of God. Come to prayer! Come to prayer! Come to success! Come to success! God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest! the Greatest! There is no deity but God. God is the Greatest! O God, glory and praises are for You, and blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your Majesty. There is no God but You. I seek shelter from the rejected satan.

Intention for Prayer

Two prostrations for the pleasure of God

Al-Fatihah (Surah 1)

In the name of God, the Beneficient, the Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, the Beneficient, the Merciful. Owner of the Day of Judgement. You do we worship, Your aid we seek. Show us the straight path, the path of those whom You have favored; and not the path of those who earn You anger, nor of those who go astray. Amen, amen.

The Purity (Surah 112 Al 'Ikhlas) "Say: He is God, the One God, the Self-Suffficient Master, whome all creatures need. (He neither eats nor drinks.) He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none to coequal or comparable to Him,"

Prostration 1

God is the greatest. Glory to my Lord, the Great, Glory to me Lord, the Great, Glory to my Lord, the Great.

God hears all those who praise Him; our Lor, praise be to You.

Prostration 2

There is no deity but God. There is no deity but God. There is no deity but God. God is the greatest.

All prayer is for God and worship and goodness and peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of God and His blessings. Peace be upon us and on the righteous servants of God; I bear witness that Mohammed is His servant and Messenger. O God let Your blessing come upoon Mohammed as You blessed Abraham and his family, truly You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. I ask God for forgiveness, I ask God for forgiveness, I ask God for forgiveness. O God, You are the one Who is free from all defects and deficiencies; and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honour.
