Namaaz Demonstration Video with Transliteration

وَقُلِ الحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الّذِيْ لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَ لَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيْكٌ فِي المُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيْرَا

Say: All praise is for Allah who has not begotten a son, who has no partner sharing his kingdom, and who has no weakness and therefore no need of a protector; extol His greatness.

Allah, lord of the perfect Dawat and the prayer—grant Mohammad what his desire is on Judgment Day; raise him to the station of access to heaven; accept his intercession in his community; and place me with those among them who perform the best deeds.

اُصَلِّيْ فَرْضَ صَلوةِ الْـمَغْرِبِ ثَلاَثَ رَكَعَاتٍ لِلهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ اَدَاءً مُسْتَقْبِلَ|مُسْتَقْبِلَةَ الْكَعْبَةِ الـْحَـرامِ اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ.

I pray the maghrib namaaz, three rakaats, for almighty Allah, facing in the direction of the Holy Kaaba. Allah is great.

وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِيْ فَطَرَ السَّموَاتِ وَالاَرْضَ حَنِيْفًا مُسْلِمًا| حَنِيْفَةً مُسْلِمَةً وَمَا اَنَا مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ اِنَّ صَلوتِيْ وَنُسُكِيْ وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِيْ لِلهِ رَبِّ اْلعَالَمِيْـنَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَبِذَالِكَ اُمِرْتُ وَاَناَ مِنَ المُسْلِمِيْـنَ عَلى مِلَّةِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَدِيْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّوَاَبْـرَأُ اِلَيْهِ مِنْ اَعْدَائِهِ الظَّالمِيْـنَ اَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيْعِ الْعَلِيْمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ

I have turned my face towards the creator of the skies and earth. – and I am a Muslim believing in one Allah – toward the One who is the Creator of the skies and the earth, and I am not one of those who do shirk in Allah (consider Allah to have a partner) – Truly, my namaaz, my ibaadat, my living, my dying is for Allah, who is the Lord of all the worlds. He has no shareek (partner), this is what I have been commanded to do, and I am a Muslim. I practice the faith of Ibrahim Nabi (who was the ancestor of Rasulullah), the Deen of Mohammed (Rasulullah), the walaayat (spiritual love) of Maulana Ali and I dissociate myself completely from their tyrannical enemies.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيْمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
