How do Muslims pray?

Daily prayers serve as a timely reminder of God throughout the day.
Muslims are required to offer a daily prayer (salah) 5 times a day. Below is a basic outline of how Muslims pray with English translation of words recited.

1

God is great

2

Glory be to you, O God, and all praises are due unto you, and blessed is your name and high is your majesty and none is worthy of worship but you.

I seek God's protection from Satan who is accursed.
In the name of God, the most Kind and the most Merciful.

Praise is only for God, Lord of the Universe.
The most Kind, the most Merciful.
The master of the Day of Judgement.
You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help.
Show us the straight way,
The way of those whom you have blessed.
Who have not deserved your anger,
Nor gone astray.

Say: He is God, the only one.
God helps and does not need help.
He does not produce a child, and He was not born of anyone.
There is no one equal to Him.
3

Glory to my Lord the Exalted

Glory to my Lord the Exalted
Glory to my Lord the Exalted
4

God listens to him who praises Him

Oh our Lord, all praise is to you
5

Oh God glory be to you, the most high.

Oh God glory be to you, the most high.
Oh God glory be to you, the most high.
6

All compliments, all physical prayer and all monetary worship are for God

Peace be upon you, Oh Prophet, and God's mercy and blessings.
Peace be on us and on all righteous slaves of God.
I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except God
And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger

Oh God, send grace and honour on Muhammad and
On the family and true followers of Muhammad
just as you sent Grace and Honour on Abraham
and on the family and true followers of Abraham
Surely, you are praiseworthy, the Great.

Oh God, send your blessing on Muhammad and
the true followers of Muhammad, just
as you sent blessings on Abraham
and his true followers
Surely, you are praiseworthy, the Great.

Oh Lord, make me and my children keep up prayers,
Our Lord, accept our prayer,
Our Lord, forgive me and my parents
and all the Believers on the Day of Judgement.

Our Lord, grant us the good of this world and that of the Hereafter and save us from the torture of hell.

Peace and mercy of God be on you

Peace and mercy of God be on you
