When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up for prayer, he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great), then said: I have turned my face, breaking with all others, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not a polytheist. My prayer and my devotion, my life and my death belong to Allah, the Lord of the Universe, Who has no partner. That is what I have been commanded, and I am first of Muslims (those who surrender themselves). O Allah, You are the King. There is no God but You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself, but I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me all my sins; You Who alone canst forgive sins; and guide me to the best qualities. You Who alone canst guide to the best of them; and turn me from evil ones. You who alone canst turn from evil qualities. I come to serve and please You. All good is in Your Hands, and evil does not pertain to You. I seek refuge in You and turn to You, Who are blessed and exalted. I ask Your forgiveness and turn to you in repentance. When he bowed, he said: O Allah, to You I bow, in You I trust, and to You I submit myself. My hearing, my sight, my brain, my bone and my sinews humble themselves before You. When he raised his head, he said: Allah listens to him who praises Him. O our lord, and all praises be to You in the whole of the heavens and the earth, and what is between them, and in whatever You creates afterwards. When he prostrated himself, he said: O Allah, to You I prostrate myself, to You I trust, and to You I submit myself. My face prostrated itself before Him Who created it, fashioned it, and fashioned it in the best shape, and brought forth its hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators. When he saluted at the end of the prayer, he said: O Allah, forgive me my former and my latter sins, my open and secret sins, my sins in exceeding the limits, and what You knowest better than I. You are He Who puts forward and puts back. There is deity but You.
