WORDS & REMEMBRANCE
Prostration: praise, surrender and refuge
The familiar remembrance glorifies the Lord as Most High. Alternatives include the holiness and purity of the Lord of the angels and the Spirit; glorification and praise with forgiveness; and praise joined to the testimony of His oneness.
Another affirms prostration, faith and submission and acknowledges the One who created and fashioned the face and gave it hearing and sight. Others glorify His might, dominion, grandeur and greatness, or seek forgiveness for all sins: small and great, earlier and later, open and hidden.
A further supplication seeks refuge in His pleasure from His anger, in His pardon from His punishment and in Him from Him, acknowledging that we cannot enumerate praise of Him and that He is as He has praised Himself.
Supplication is especially encouraged in prostration. Use permitted wording in your school; explaining a duʿa’s meaning here does not make its paraphrase a prescribed recitation.
Choose one established phrase. Learn its exact Arabic in the Prayer Studio, understand its meaning, and revise it outside prayer.
