The intent to pray should be remembered in heart. However, it is better to be said (aloud)

(Open your hands and bring them up, such that your thumbs are in the same elevation as your ears and announce your intention)  

 I will perform the four parts of the Noon Prayers

 قربة الی الله:  For the sake of closeness to God

(And then say :)

 الله اکبر:  (God is the Greatest (supreme  

      In the Name of God, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.  : بسـم الله الرحمن الرحيم  

All praise to God, the Creator and Nurturer of the worlds, :  الحمد لله رب العالمين    

 الرحمن الرحيم:  Most Gracious and Merciful

 Ruler of the Day of Judgment; :  مالک يوم الدين   

 اياک نعبد:    You alone do we worship  

 و اياک نستعين:   and You alone do we ask for help,  

  to guide us in the correct and straight path (towards You), :  اهدنا الصراط المستقيم        

 صراط الذين انعمت عليهم:   the path of those, whom You have greatly blessed, 

 غيرالمغضوب عليهم:    not of those subjected to anger,

  ولا الضالين:    nor of those who deviated and strayed (into the wrong directions) !

(At this point, we will read another section of Quran; such as the chapter Sincerity)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم:   In the Name of God, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.

 قل هو الله احد:  Say: “God is Unique!

 الله الصمد:   God is absolutely independent (and all are dependent upon God);

 لم يلد ولم يولد:   He has not fathered anyone nor was He fathered

 ولم يکن له کفواّ احد:  And there is nothing comparable to Him!”

  الله اکبر:  God is the Greatest (supreme) 

  (At this point we bow in the presence of God and we say :)

سبحان ربی العظيم و بحمده: Him  Praise to Almighty God who is the Greatest and I am worshiping

 (At this point, we stand straight up and we say :)

سمع الله لمن حمده الله اکبر:  God heard the one who was praising and worshiping Him;

God is the Greatest (supreme  

 (At this point, we sit down and place our forehead on the grand “Soo-Jood” and we say :)

 سبحان ربی الا علی و بحمده:  Praise to Almighty God who is the Highest and I am worshiping Him

 (In the “Soo-Jood” we place our head on the ground humbly and try to comprehend the Magnificence of Almighty God) 

(At this point, we sit up and we say :)

الله اکبر: ( God is the Greatest (supreme

 استغفر الله  ربی وأتوب إليه:  I am asking my God to forgive me and I am coming back to Him

 الله اکبر:  God is the Greatest (supreme)

          (At this point, we place our forehead on the grand again and will say :)    

 سبحان ربی الا علی و بحمده:  Praise to Almighty God who is the Highest and I am worshiping Him

  الله اکبر:  God is the Greatest (supreme)

  (At this point, we stand up straight and while doing that, we could optionally say :) 

بحول الله  و قوته  أقوم و أقعد:    With the will and the power of God, I stand and sit

(The beginning of the second part) you do just as the first part

(At this point, bring your hands up (like you are trying to read a book) “Ghoo-noot” and say a prayer such as :)

 ربنا آتـنا فی الدنيا حسنه و فی الاخرة حسنة و قنا عذاب النار:   

Oh, Our God: In this world and the hereafter,

bring us good things and keep us away from the punishment by the fire (of Hell) 

At this time you do " Re - Koo " and " Soo - Jood " just as the first part. 

     (At this point, we say the “Ta-shahood”)

الحمدلله اشهدان لا اله الا الله وحده لاشريک له و اشهدان محمدا عبده و رسوله:

All praise Only belongs to God;

I testify that there is no deity except God:

The Unique God who has no associate and no equals;

And I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His prophet

اللهم صل علی محمد وآل محمد:  May God, bless Muhammad and his followers

(which include his family)

 (At this point, we stand up straight and while doing that, we could optionally say :) 

بحول الله  و قوته  أقوم و أقعد:    With the will and the power of God, I stand and sit

 (The beginning of the third part)

سبحان الله و الحمد لله ولا اله الا الله و الله اکبر: 

 God is above everything and all praise and glory is due to God;

and there is no deity besides God, and God is the Greatest (supreme)

سبحان الله و الحمد لله ولا اله الا الله و الله اکبر:

God is above everything and all praise and glory is due to God;

and there is no deity besides God, and God is the Greatest (supreme)

سبحان الله و الحمد لله ولا اله الا الله و الله اکبر:

and there is no deity besides God, and God is the Greatest (supreme)

الله اکبر:  ( God is the Greatest (supreme 

(At this point we bow in the presence of God and we say :)

We must do " Re - Koo " and  " Soo - Jood " and then we must do the fourth part just as the third part  

(At this point, we say the “Ta-shahood”)

الحمدلله اشهدان لا اله الا الله وحده لاشريک له و اشهدان محمدا عبده و رسوله:
