Attahiyyaat In Salah (Namaz)
Attahiyyaat is a part of Tashahud that is recited during the Muslim prayer (salah). It is recited in the final sitting position of each unit (rak'ah) of prayer, after the recitation of Tashahud. Here is a detailed explanation of Attahiyyaat
Sitting Position:
Sitting position: Attahiyyaat is recited in the final sitting position of prayer. The worshipper sits on their heels with their feet flat on the ground and their hands resting on their knees.
Recitation:
Recitation: Attahiyyaat begins with the worshipper raising their right index finger and reciting the following words in Arabic:
"At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu. As-salamu 'alayka ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. As-salamu 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin. Ashhadu al la ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluh."
Peace Be On Us And On All Righteous Servants of Allah:
This means "All compliments, all physical prayer and all monetary worship are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Peace be on us and on all righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger."
Salutations on the Prophet:
Salutations on the Prophet: After reciting the Tashahud and Attahiyyaat, the worshipper then sends additional salutations on the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by reciting the following words:
"Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala aali Muhammadin, kama suallayta ala Ibraheema wa ala aali Ibraheema innaka hameedum majeed. Allahumma barik ala Muhammadin wa ala aali Muhammadin, kama barakta ala Ibraheema wa ala aali Ibraheema innaka hameedum majeed."
You are Praiseworthy and Glorious:
This means "O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You have blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You have blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious."
Supplication:
Supplication: Finally, the worshipper can make any supplication (du'a) they wish, or recite any other recommended prayers or verses from the Quran. This concludes the Attahiyyaat.
Summary:
In summary, Attahiyyaat is a declaration of all forms of worship and praise for Allah, followed by salutations on the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and a declaration of faith in the oneness of Allah. It is recited in the final sitting position of each unit of prayer.
