Face the Qiblah (toward Mecca), and make sure you're in a clean area, now you are about to start one of the following prayers.

Standing, you will start the prayer raising both hands up close to your ears and say

1. Alla-hu Akbar 
                                                  

2. (Dua Al-Iftitah  Recited only in the first Rakat)

Subhana Kal-lah hum-ma wabi hamdika wata-bara kasmuka wata'ala jad-duka wala ilaha ghyruka.

3. A'uzu bil-lahi minash Shayta-nir-rajeem

4. Bismillah hir-Rahma nir-Raheem

5. Surah Fatiha (Recited in every Rakat, very important to memorize)

Alhamdul lil-lahi rab-bil 'alameen, Ar rahma nir-raheem, Maliki yawmid-deen, Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'een, Ihdinas siratal mustaqeem, Siratal Lazeena an'amta 'alayhim,Ghai-ril maghdubi 'alayhim, Walad dal-leen. Ameen

 6. (After Surah Fatiha - recite any Surah from the Quran. Please note that the surah recited in the first rakath should be longer than the one recited in the second rakath)

We have used Surah Ikhlas as an example:

Qul huwal lahu ahad, Allah hus-Samad, Lam yalid walam yulad, Walam yakul-lahu Kufuwan ahad.

7. (Supplication in Ruku)

Recite Alla-hu Akbar. before going to Ruku. While in Ruku, recite the following supplication 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 or more times. Make it an odd number.

Sub-hana Rabbi-al 'ajeem.

8. Qawmah (Standing After Ruku)

Sami 'allah hu liman hamida.

 9. Before going to the Sajdah, recite Alla-hu Akbar. While in Sajdah, recite the following supplication 3, 5, 

7, 9, 11 or more times. Make it an odd number. 

Sub-hana Rabbi yal a'la

10. Jalsah (Sitting between two Sajdah)

 To rise and sit from the first Sajdah, recite Alla-hu Akbar. Sit for a short while and recite the following:

Allah hum maghfirlee war-ham nee

11. Second Sajdah. Recite Allah-hu Akbar. before going to the second Sajda from Jalsah

 Recite the same supplication as the first Sajdah. 

Before starting second rakat, say Allah-hu Akbar while standing up. Now, you have completed one Rakat. Then recite Tasmiah and Surah Fatiha. After Fatiha, recite tasmiah and another surah and proceed to Ruku by saying Alla-hu Akbar. Carry on the acts till the second Sajdah. After second Sajdah, say Alla-hu Akbar, but sit down for reciting Tashahud, Darud and some supplications before finishing the prayer with salam.

12. Tasahuda or attahiyyatu

At-tahiy-yatu lil-lahi was sala-watu wat-tay yibatu, As-salamu 'alayka ay-yuhan-nabiy-yu
wa rahma tullahi wa bara-katuhu, As-salamu 'alayna wa'ala 'ibadil-la his-sali-heen
Ash hadu al-la ilaha il-lal lahu, wa ash hadu an-na Muhammadan, 'ab-duhu wa rasuluh.
