Zuhr Prayer Recitation from Intention to Salam: Arabic, Latin, and Meaning

Zuhr prayer is an obligation for Muslims, as commanded by Allah SWT in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 43. Here's the correct way to perform the four-rak'ah Zuhr prayer: reciting the intention, takbiratul ihram, opening supplication, Al-Fatihah, a short surah (in the first and second rak'ahs), bowing, standing straight, prostration, sitting between the two prostrations, second prostration, initial tashahhud in the second rak'ah, final tashahhud in the fourth rak'ah, and ending with salam. The intention for Zuhr prayer differs for praying alone (munfarid), as imam, and as follower (makmum). Intention for munfarid: "Ushallii fardhazh zhuhri arba'a raka'aatin mustaqbilal qiblati adaa'an lillaahi ta'aalaa" (I intend to pray the obligatory Zuhr prayer, four rak'ahs, facing the qibla, on time, for the sake of Allah Ta'ala). Every rak'ah requires reciting Al-Fatihah, and in the first and second rak'ahs it's recommended to recite a short surah after it. The recitations for the prayer movements include: bowing ("Subhaana rabbiyal 'azhiimi wa bihamdih" 3 times), standing straight ("Sami'allaahu liman hamidah" then "Rabbanaa lakal hamdu..."), prostration ("Subhaana rabbiyal a'laa wa bihamdih" 3 times), sitting between the two prostrations ("Rabbighfirlii..."), initial tashahhud, final tashahhud with the Ibrahimiyyah prayer, and salam ("Assalaamu 'alaikum warahmatullaah"). https://mozaik.inilah.com/ibadah/bacaan-salat-zuhur-dari-niat-hingga-salam-arab-latin-dan-artinya

MashaAllah, great for those who are just learning to pray. Back then I also needed a guide like this.

The short surah I read most often during Zuhur is Al-Ikhlas, just to make it quick since I usually pray at the office.

Barakallahu fik, the article's really thorough. I often forget the order of the iftitah prayer, especially when I'm rushing through my salah.

I had every intention of memorizing it, but sometimes I get unsure about the imam and makmum parts. Thanks for the reminder.
