46 S al a t —The Muslim Prayer Book After Jilsah , the Im a m leads the congregation into a second Prostration by saying All a hu Akbar and, again Sub ha na Rabbiyal A‘l a is done three times or, if more, in odd number. In every Rak‘at of Prayer there are always two Prostrations. At the end of the second prostration, one Rak‘at of Prayer is completed. After saying All a hu Akbar once again, the Im a m leads the congregation into the Standing posture to commence the second Rak‘at which is offered exactly as the first Rak‘at. However, during the second Rak‘at , Than a ’ (Glorification) and Ta‘awwudh are not recited. Than a ’ and Ta‘awwudh are recited only in the first Rak‘at of every Prayer. The Im a m recites S u rah Al-F a ti h ah and then some verses of the Holy Quran and completes the Rak‘at in the same manner as the first. After the second Prostration, he sits down in the same manner as he sat in the position called Jilsah. This Sitting Position, at the end of the second Rak‘at is called Qa‘dah. During this position Tashahhud is recited silently, which is as follows: َا ﻪﻠﻟ ََُِِّّّٰﻟﺘﺤِﻴﺎت ا واﻟ���ﺎت� ﻠﻮات وا ََََََََُُِّّّ ﻟﺼ ََّﻟﺴﻼ أﻳﻬﺎ ﻠﻴﻚ َََََُّْم ُﻋ
