Tashahhud

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tashahhud is the portion of Salah (obligatory prayer) where the Muslim kneels facing Mecca. Muslims recite the Tashahhud as:

"At tahiyyātu lillāhi, was-salawātu wat-tayyibātu. As-salāmu alayka ayyu han-nabiyyu wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh. As salāmu alaynā wa 'alā ibādillā his-sālihīn. Ash-hadu al lā ilāha illallāhu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abaduhū wa rasūluh."

Assalamu Alaikum ukhwa and ukht This translates as:

"All worships - oral, physical and monetary - are for Allah. Allah's peace be upon you, O Prophet, and His mercy and blessings. Peace be on us and on all righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger."

Here is the Tashahhud in arabic التحيات لله والصلوات و الطيبات السلام على النبي و رحمة الله و بركاته السلام علينا و على عباد الله الصالحين

أشهد أن لا اله إلا الله و أشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله

NOTE: For Muslims who cannot read non-Quranic Arabic, that is to say who can read the Hijaz Arabic but are unable to read ordinary Arabic as used in modern Arabic Newspapers etc, the above Tashahhud is not one that you should attempt to learn to use in prayer. Rather, find the Arabic text with the symbols indicating the sounds so as to ensure correct pronunciation, which is highly important for the acceptance of Salat.
