3.2 You must stand straight.
3.3 You must intend to pray the specific obligatory prayer.
3.4 You must open by saying Allahu 'akbar with the intention, while standing, loud enough to hear yourself in the absence of a hindrance, pronouncing every letter correctly.
3.5 You must then recite the Fatihah loud enough to hear yourself, pronouncing every letter correctly, and without interruption except for a breath.The Fatihah is, Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. al-Hamdu liLlahi Rabbi l-`Alamin. ar-Rahmani r-Rahim. Maliki Yawmi d-Din. 'Iyyaka na`budu wa 'iyyaka nasta`in. Ihdina s-sirata l-mustaqim. Sirata lladhina 'an`amta `alayhim ghayri l-maghdubi `alayhim wa la d-dallin.You must recite the whole Fatihah in the standing of every cycle (rak`ah) of every prayer, whether praying alone or in a group, unless in that cycle was insufficient time to recite the whole Fatihah behind the imam, because of his quick recital or because of your coming late, in which case you recite as much as you can (making up for any lost time), then bow.
3.6 You must then bow deep enough for your palms to reach your knees, staying still for a second.
3.7 You must then straighten up, staying still for a second.
3.8 You must then prostrate by lowering your head and shoulders below your behind, pressing some bare part of your forehead to your prostration place, placing some part of the inside of each hand, some part of each knee, and some part of the bottom of each foot’s toes, staying still for a second.

Salamun `alayka 'ayyuha n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu Llahi wa barakatuh. Salamun `alayna wa `ala `ibadi Llahi s-salihin. 'Ashhadu 'al la 'ilaha 'illa Llah(u), wa 'anna Muhammadar rasulu Llah.
3.13 You must then pray for the Prophet (Allah favor and salute him), loud enough to hear yourself, pronouncing every letter correctly. Its minimum is, Allahumma salli `ala Muhammad.
3.14 You must then say the Salaam loud enough to hear yourself, pronouncing every letter correctly. Its minimum is, As-salamu `alaykum.The Sequence
3.15 You must fulfill all the above integrals in their proper sequence by starting the prayer with standing (3.2), intending (3.3), and saying Allahu akbar (3.4), then continuing through to the second prostration (3.10). Upon completing the second prostration, you have completed a cycle (rak`ah). For each remaining cycle, you repeat the standing through to the second prostration exactly as before, without repeating the intention or the opening Allahu akbar. Upon completing the second prostration of the last cycle, you perform the last sitting (3.11), the Greetings (3.12), the Prayer for the Prophet (Allah favor and salute him) (3.13), and the Salaam (3.14), after which the prayer is complete.
3.16 The cycles of the dawn prayer are two, the afternoon prayer four, the late afternoon prayer four, the sunset prayer three, and the nightfall prayer four.
3.17 If you deliberately violate the proper sequence, you invalidate your prayer; if you absentmindedly violate it, you must return to it as soon as you realize, and anything you had done out of sequence does not count.
INVALIDATORSInvalidators (Mubtilat)
4.1 The main invalidators of prayer are three: (1) ingestion, (2) utterance, and (3) movement.Ingestion
4.2 Your prayer is invalidated by deliberate ingestion, even if just a speck between your teeth.Utterance
4.3 Your prayer is invalidated by deliberate extraneous utterance, even if just a little.Movement
4.4 Your prayer is invalidated by avoidable extraneous movement, even if done absentmindedly, by doing (a) three continuous large movements, (b) one gross movement, or (c) one movement in play, even if small.Other Invalidators
4.5 It also invalidates your prayer to lack conviction in your intention, by for example, considering cutting short your prayer, changing your intention, or forgetting what it was.
Praise Allah, through Whom all good is achieved. My success is only through Allah. May Allah favor and salute our master Muhammad, and his folk, companions, and followers.
