WOMEN
•
When making RUKU a WOMAN should only BEND over sufficiently so that her HANDS reach her
KNEES.
•
The HANDS should be placed on the KNEES, with the FINGERS kept together.
•
In RUKU the ELBOWS should TOUCH the sides of the BODY and the FEET kept TOGETHER.
Subhana rabbiya al-'Azem
(How Glorious is my Lord the Great.)
TASMEE:
To say 'Semi Allahu Leman Hamedah.'
Sami 'allah hu liman hamida
Verily Allah listens to one who praises him
QAWMAH:
To stand up after RUKU.
Now stand up straight and whilst coming up say:
TASMEE
Sami 'allah hu liman hamida
Verily Allah listens to one who praises him
Then in the upright position say:
THAMID
Rabba Na Lakal Hamd.
Rab-bana Lakal Hamd
O! Our Lord, all the praises be to you
If one does NOT stand erect after RUKU and merely lifts ones head and goes into Sajdah
then the NAMAAZ (Prayer). Will NOT be VALID, and it will be NECESSARY to repeat the
NAMAAZ.
