4. Ruku – Bowing down
5. Standing after Ruku
6. Sujud – Prostration (twice)
7. Sitting between two Sujud

Sunnah (Recommended Parts)

These are good to do but not required:

1. Raising hands during Takbir
2. Placing hands on chest
3. Reading extra surahs after Fatihah
4. Saying “Subhana rabbiyal azeem” in Ruku
5. Saying “Subhana rabbiyal a’la” in Sujud

1. B) Ways of Correcting Mistakes in Salah

Sujud As-Sahw (Prostration of Forgetfulness)

When to do it:

• If you forget a Sunnah part
• If you do something extra by mistake
• If you are not sure what you did

How to do it:

1. Continue your prayer normally
