Niyyat (Intention)
Before performing prayer, make a sincere intention in your heart that you are praying for the sake of Allah. It is not necessary to utter the intention verbally — the intention in your heart is sufficient.

Takbeer-e-Tahreema
Begin the prayer by raising both hands up to your ears and saying:
اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ
(Allah is the Greatest)
This is the first and most essential pillar of Salah.

اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ
