Recitation and the Words of Ruku‘ and Sajdah
Page 58 continues Lesson 22 with Surah al-Fatihah, Surah al-Ikhlas and the four short phrases of ruku‘ and sajdah. Every rule from the Qa‘idah appears here: Madd at the verse ends, Qalqalah, Idgham and the heavy letters. The verse-end circles show where to stop.
Surah al-Fatihah: اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ
In Hanafi fiqh reciting it is Wajib for the imam and for someone praying alone; the follower listens silently.
- اَلْحَمْدُ: Ḥa, not Ha.
- الْعٰلَمِيْنَ: Ain, not Alif.
- اِيَّاكَ: Keep the Tashdeed on the Ya.
- الصِّرَاطَ: Ṣad heavy, not Seen.
- الْمَغْضُوْبِ: Ḍad from the side of the tongue; Ghayn heavy.
- وَلَا الضَّآلِّيْنَ: Madd Lazim: six counts.
Surah al-Ikhlas: قُلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ
An example of the surah added after al-Fatihah, which is Wajib in the first two rak‘ahs of a fard prayer and in every rak‘ah of witr, sunnah and nafl.
- اَحَدٌ: At the stop, a clear Qalqalah on the Dal.
- الصَّمَدُ: Ṣad heavy.
- يَلِدْ · يُوْلَدْ: Qalqalah on the Saakin Dal.
Tasbih-e-Ruku‘: سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيْمِ
Said in ruku‘, at least three times (Sunnah).
- الْعَظِيْمِ: Ẓa, not Za: the letter must stay heavy and come from between the teeth.
Tasmee‘: سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهٗ
Said while rising from ruku‘ by the imam and by someone praying alone.
- سَمِعَ: Ain pressed.
- حَمِدَهٗ: Ḥa from the middle of the throat; Ulta Pesh two counts.
Tahmeed: رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ
Said by the follower and by someone praying alone.
- الْحَمْدُ: Ḥa, not Ha.
Tasbih-e-Sajdah: سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّيَ الْاَعْلٰى
Said in sajdah, at least three times (Sunnah).
- الْاَعْلٰى: Ain pressed; Khara Zabar two counts.
For the full Hanafi method of prayer, step by step, see our How to Pray guide.
Mistakes to Watch For
- الْعَظِيْمِ with a Za. Saying it with ز changes the word; keep the heavy ظ.
- A short Madd Lazim. وَلَا الضَّآلِّيْنَ needs six counts.
- No Qalqalah at the end of Surah al-Ikhlas. Each Dal at a stop must bounce.
A Five-Minute Practice Plan
- Minute 1: Surah al-Fatihah verse by verse, stopping at each circle.
- Minute 2: the heavy letters of al-Fatihah: الصِّرَاطَ, الْمَغْضُوْبِ, الضَّآلِّيْنَ.
- Minute 3: Surah al-Ikhlas with Qalqalah at each stop.
- Minute 4: the four phrases of ruku‘ and sajdah.
- Minute 5: read the page from start to end, Rawan.
