Good news for New Muslims! Now, you can
easily learn what to recite during praying using our segmented
audio files and English transliteration. All
supplications are authentic.
You are one step ahead if you
already know the movements during the prayer. At each step, there is something to
recite and we are here to help you with those recitations. We
will also try to illustrate the movements in the near future.
Things to note: Please
recite only the Arabic portions during praying. Phrases are
repeated at least twice in the audio files for your convenience.
Recite the phrases only once during praying, unless otherwise
mentioned. Some common Arabic Terms
used: Surah = A Chapter of the Quran, Dua = Supplication

If you are offering 3 Rakath
of salah (as in Maghrib), then after Tashahud in second Rakath,
you say Alla-hu Akbar and stand up. Then you recite Tasmiah,
Fatiha and other supplications. Note that a surah after Fatiha
is only recited in the first two rakaths. Carry on till second Sajdah in
the normal manner and sit for second Tashahud in the third
Rakath. After that, you are to recite the following three
supplications and finish the prayer. If you are offering 4
Rakath of salah, then don't sit for Tashahud in the third
Rakath. Simply stand up after second Sajdah in the third
rakath by saying Alla-hu Akbar. Carry on till second sajdah
and sit for Tashahud in the fourth Rakath. Recite the
