The recitation of a portion of the Holy Quran after reciting S u rah Al-F a ti h ah in the first two Rak‘ a t of the Far d part of the Prayer and in all Sunnat and Naw a fil Prayers. 2. Standing erect after Ruk u‘ , technically called Qaumah. Note: Qiy a m is a Far d part, i. e. is compulsory, while Qaumah is W a jib i. e. essential or necessary. 3. Jilsah , the sitting position between two prostrations. 4. Short sitting position after completing the first two Rak‘ a t (not the final Qa‘dah ). 5. Recite Tashahhud, i. e. At-ta h iyy a tu Lill a hi wa s - S alaw a tu. . . . . in Qa‘dah position. 6. For the Im a m to recite S u rah Al-F a ti h ah and a portion of the Holy Quran audibly in the first two Rak‘ a t of Fajr , Maghrib , ‘Ish a ’ , Jumu‘ah and ‘ I d Prayers, and to recite the same silently in Z uhr and ‘A s r Prayers. 7.
