- Tashahhud
The Tashahhud is the portion of
Salah (obligatory prayer) where theMuslim kneels facingMecca . Muslims recite the Tashahhud as:"At tahiyyātu lillāhi, was-salawātu wat-tayyibātu. As-salāmu alayka ayyu han-nabiyyu wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh. As salāmu alaynā wa 'alā ibādillā his-sālihīn. Ash-hadu al lā ilāha illallāhu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abaduhū wa rasūluh."
This translates as:
"All worships - oral, physical and monetary - are for Allah. Allah's peace be upon you, O Prophet, and His mercy and blessings. Peace be on us and on all righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger."
