Raka'ah

After a raka'ah is complete (and in all subsequent odd raka'ah), the person returns to the prostate position (sujj-ud) to the standing position to start another raka'ah. In each second raka'ah, the first movements of sujj-ud to an upright position (Jalsa) and recites the first part of a supplication known as the tashahhud, before returning to the standing position to begin the next raka'ah.

In the last raka'ah the person moves to the Jalsa from the sujud position and recites the complete tashahhud. Sunni Muslims then conclude the prayer by turning the face towards the right shoulder and then towards the left shoulder, each time saying a greeting to everyone to the right of them and the same greeting to everyone to the left of them. It is as if one has returned to the court of his Master and these are the good news that he has brought back through the world saying: Peace to you and the mercy of Allah. '

After the prayers are completed, it is common (but not mandatory) for Muslims to offer a supplication (Du'a) to God. This plea, which essentially gives Muslims the opportunity to ask God's forgiveness and blessings, can be offered in any language.

Raka 'ah (in Arabic: ركعة, pl ركعات raka' a) are the prescribed movements and the words followed by the Muslims during the salah (worship).

After turning to God in mind (niyyah) and ritual cleansing (wudu), the worshiper will remain silent (qiyam) while reciting the first verses of the Qur'an. The second part of the rak'ah involves a deep reverence (ruku ') with the hands on the knees, as if waiting at the orders of God. The third movement (suyud) is to prostrate on the ground, with the forehead and nose on the ground and elbows raised, in a posture of submission to God. The fourth movement is to sit (Julus) with the feet bent under the body. At the end prayers to the faithful turn to the left and to the right saying: "Peace be with you, and the blessing of God." This action reminds Muslims of the importance of others around them, both in the mosque and in the rest of the world.
