Sit up after the second Sajdah: Then sit up and recite the Tashahod and add to it the Tasleem by saying (Allahu akbar), (ash-hado an-la-illaha ilia allah, wah-dahu la sharrika lah, wa-ash-hadu anna mohammadan abdahu wa rasuloh, allahuma salli ala mohammad wa ale mohammad). the last line was Tashahud. In Tasleem, add (As-salamo alayka ayohal nabio wa - rahmatollahe wa barakatoh As- salamo alayna wa ala e'bade - llahe as- saleheen. As- salamo alaykum wa - rahmatollahe wa barakatoh). In this way morning prayer is over.

 

 

Note: As for Al- Magreb prayer; being three Rakaats, after the second Rakaa and Tashahud don't read the Tasleem, instead get up for the third Rikaa, stand still and say three times (Subhan allahe wal -hamdo lelahe wa la -elaha ellaallho wa-allaho akbar). Then bed for Rukuu and kneel for two Sjouds (as mentioned before) then read the last Tashahud and Tasleem.

As for Al-Dohor, Al- asr and Al- Isha prayers, because each one of them consists of four Rakaats, so after the middle Tashahud perform two Tasbeehat Rakaats (as mentioned above). Then perform the second & last Tashahud and Tasleem.
