ETIQUETTES OF PRAYERS
When you intend to perform the prayer, you may say the following:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنّى اُقَدِّمُ اِلَيْكَ مُحَمَّدًا
O Allah, I submit Muhammad,
صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاۤلِهٖ
may Allah bless him and his Household,
بَيْنَ يَدَىْ حَاجَتِىْ
to You before mentioning my needs,
وَاَتَوَجَّهُ بِهٖ اِلَيْكَ
and I turn to You in his name;
فَاجْعَلْنِىْ بِهِ وَجِيْهًا عِنْدَكَ
so, (please) make me of high regard with You
فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالْاۤخِرَةِ
in this world and the Hereafter,
وَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ
and of those drawn near to You,
وَاجْعَلْ صَلَاتِىْ بِهِ مَقْبُوْلَةً
and (please) decide, in his name, my prayer to be admitted,\
وَذَنْبِىْ بِهِ مَغْفُوْرًا
my sin to be forgiven,
وَدُعَاۤئِىْ بِهِ مُسْتَجَابًا
and my supplication to be responded.
اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ۔
You are verily the All-forgiving, the All-merciful.
You may then utter the call to prayer (i.e. adhan) and say the prefatory part of prayer (i.e. iqamah). You may separate the two with a prostration or a sitting position, saying the following:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ قَلْبِى بَآرًّا
O Allah, (please) make my heart dutiful,
وَعَيْشِىْ قَآرًّا
my livelihood delightful,
وَرِزْقِىْ دَآرًّا
my sustenance profuse,
وَاجْعَلْ لِىْ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ رَسُوْلِكَ
and make for me at the tomb of Your Messenger,
صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاۤلِهٖ
may Allah bless him and his Household,
مُسْتَقَرًّا وَقَرَارًا۔
an abode and a dwelling.
You may now pray Almighty Allah for any thing you wish and beseech Him to grant you whatever you need, because any supplication that is said between the adhan and Iqamah will not be rejected.
After uttering the Iqamah, you may say the following:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ
O Allah, to You have I turned my face,
وَمَرَضَاتَكَ طَلَبْتُ
Your pleasure have I sought,
وَثَوَابَكَ ابْتَغَيْتُ
for Your reward have I desired,
وَبِكَ اٰمَنْتُ
in You do I believe,
وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ
and on You do I rely.
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَاۤلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَافْتَحْ مَسَامِعَ قَلْبِىْ لِذِكْرِكَ
open the ears of my hearts to remembering You,
وَثَبِّتْنِىْ عَلٰى دِيْنِكَ وَ دِيْنِ نَبِيِّكَ
make me stand firmly on the religion of You and Your Prophet,
وَلَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِىْ بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدَيْتَنِىْ
make not my hearts to deviate after You have guided me aright,
وَهَبْ لِىْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً
and grant me from You mercy.
اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ۔
Surely, You are the most liberal Giver.
