Attahiyatu text in Russian (transcription)

Attahiyatu (tashahhud) text in Russian. Correct reading of the attahiyat in prayer is a guarantee of acceptance of the prayer. Learning to read correctly is an important step on the path to learning prayer.

Reciting the attahiyat in prayer is wajib (obligatory). The reading of the attahiyat must be correct, without errors. Therefore, the correct recitation of the attahiyat is provided here.

The place for reading attahiyat in prayer is after the second rak'ah and at the end of the prayer. In the Hanafi madhhab they read the attahiyat, transmitted from the companion Ibn Mas'ud may Allah be pleased with him.

Attahiyat in Russian (transcription)

Attakhiyatu lillahi vassalyavatu vatayibat. Assalamu 'alaika ayukhannabiyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Assalamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihiin. Ashhadu alaya illaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasulyukh.

Transcription of Salawat al-Ibrahimiya, read after the attahiyat:

“Allaahumma sally 'alaya Muhammadin wa 'alaya eeli Muhammad. Kyama sallayte 'alaya Ibraakhim ua 'alaya eeli Ibraakhim. Innekya khamidum-majiid.

Allahumma baarik 'alaya Muhammadin wa 'alaya eeli Muhammad, kamaa baarakte 'alaya Ibraahim wa 'alaya eeli Ibraahim. Innekya hamidum-majiid.”

When the attahiyat is recited

During morning prayer, the At-Tahiyat prayer is read only once. We notice, analyzing what Surah Attahiyat consists of: its text may differ depending on the madhhab in which the prayer is performed. But even if there are some differences, the text of Attahiyatu is still taken from hadiths in any version.

In a hadith reported from Ibn Mas'ud, it is reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that Muslims should say Tashahhud when the worshipers sit down after the second rak'ah, and after Tashahhud is said, they should choose the dua they like and say it. This is stated in an authentic hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad an-Nasai. It was narrated from him that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he was alive, his companions said “as-salamu 'alaik ya ayuhan-nabiy,” and after his death they said “as-salamu ‘alyan-nabiy,” and he called it "tashahhud of Aisha."

It is also said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ read in the first person.

Additional Information

Attahiyat is a prayer, otherwise called tashahhud (testimony). Attahiyat is said while sitting in prayer. Sometimes it is confused with a sura from the Holy Quran, calling it “sura attakhiyat”, but this is not so - it cannot be a surah attakhiyat, because a sura is something from the Koran, and the correct text of the attakhiyat is taken from hadiths, and not from the Koran.

Also here we should consider how valuable the recitation of the attahiyat is in performing daily prayer. Representatives of the Abu Hanifa madhhab adhere to the position that reading the very first tashahhud (during the first sitting) is wajib (obligatory). Therefore, if the attahiyat prayer has not been read, then the Muslim is obliged to perform sujud sahwa (an additional expiatory prostration in prayer).

And also, you should raise the index finger of your right hand while pronouncing the words “... Ashhadu alla illaha illallah...” in the attahiyat. This action is indicated by a hadith, which says that the Messenger of Allah, while reading the Tashahhud, connected his thumb and index finger in the form of a circle, and extended the remaining fingers forward, making a movement with the index finger.

The importance of attahiyat in prayer

Muslims often wonder how important it is to read At-tahiyat when performing prayer. It is obligatory to pronounce the first tashahhud, this is wajib - this is the position held by representatives of the Hanafi madhhab. If the Attakhiyat prayer was not said for some reason, then the believer must perform sajd al-sahw (expiatory bow in prayer).

If a person consciously refuses to say the Tashahhud prayer, then his action qualifies as an act close to tahriman makrooh, that is, forbidden. This point of view is shared by both representatives of the Maliki madhhab and representatives of the Hanbali madhhab. The opinion that Tashahhud is a sunnah is held partly by representatives of the Maliki madhhab, and partly by representatives of the Hanafi madhhab, as well as by representatives of the Shafi'i madhhab. Representatives of the Shafiites and representatives of the Hanbalis classify Tashahhud as one of the rukns of prayer. The Sunnah is also considered by representatives of the Hanbali Muslim legal school, the Shafi'i madhhab and the Maliki school, the first Attahiyat in every prayer.

Representatives of the Hanafi madhhab consider the first sitting during which Attahiyat is pronounced obligatory or wajib. All madhhabs consider it obligatory to recite the attahiyat during the second sitting .

When is it better to repeat salavat?

Repetitions of the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) bring goodness at every mention, but there are times when mentioning him brings special gratitude and greetings from the Almighty. The first of them is Friday, during the break between Farz and Sunnat prayers, when praising his deeds brings the greatest goodness, according to Muhammad (pbuh). On this day, women are supposed to recite salawat during the lunchtime zuhr prayer.

The blessing of the deeds of the Prophet (saw) should be performed throughout the entire month of Ramadan, when the Almighty is especially attentive to pious Muslims and bestows his mercy on them. In the hadith dedicated to prayers during the Holy Month, transmitted to us by at-Termezi, “I will accept the prayers of three - the one who fasts, the one who is fair, the one who is oppressed.”

Also, salawat must be pronounced not only between the Farz and Sunnat rakats, but also after them, because according to the same hadith from at-Termezi, the dua pronounced during and after the prayer will not be rejected. Also, dua made in the interval between the calls of adhan and iqamat will not be rejected.

Sheikhs, ustazs and other respected people

As for respect for scholars and righteous people in Islam, it is welcomed, but must be in moderation and be reasonable in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. Salavat is spoken only to the Prophet Muhammad (may the Almighty bless and greet him)[11]. I believe that striving for God’s mercy and forgiveness through prayers and deeds, as well as the hope for the intercession of the Prophet Muhammad, realized through the practice of the legacy he left and reciting salawat when his name is mentioned, is a huge contribution to the ability of each of us to take advantage of his intercession on the Day of Judgment. Is there anything else needed, is it necessary to ask someone else for intercession? I personally do not see the need for this, but I also do not call believers who practice visiting holy places and tombs, asking sheikhs and ustaz, mushriks (pagans). Life is fleeting and short, and therefore it is better to do what you are confident in, but every day, at least a little.

Second reading option:

The Tashahhud prayer is important for the soul of a true Muslim believer, and therefore it is not surprising that many Muslim believers ask questions regarding which version of the prayer to read and which version will be more correct. There are about five versions of the Attahiyat, and each of them will be correct, since its texts are taken from hadiths.

The existence of different versions of the text of the Attahiyat prayer is due to the fact that the Maliki, Hanbali, Shafi'i and Hanafi madhhabs have their own version of the Attahiyat prayer in practice, so there are no wrong options among them - there are only options that are traditionally used in the practice of different Muslim legal schools.

One of the options has the following text: Attahiyatu li-Llyahi, wa-s-sala-vatu wa-t-tayibat, as-salamu 'alai-kya, ayyu-ha-n-nabiyu, wa rahmatu-Llahi wa barakatu-hu, as-salamu 'alay-na wa 'ala 'ibadhi-llahi-s-sali-khina. Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muham-madan 'abdu-hu wa rasulyu-hu! Translated, this text means: “Greetings to Allah, and prayers and best words, peace to you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings, peace to us and the righteous servants of Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger!”

Reward for Salavat

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of the Creator) said: “Whoever asks [Allah (God, Lord)] for blessings for me once [saying salawat] [9], ten Divine blessings are returned to him [for him personally].” [10]. A prayer addressed to God for mercy on the Day of Judgment is a lot! A prayer addressed to God for the opportunity to take advantage of the intercession of the Prophet Muhammad on the Day of Judgment is a lot! If you focus a little attention on this prayer in word and deed, but every day (!), this will have a huge effect both in earthly and eternal perspectives.

Salavat to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Salavat (Arabic – blessing; plural of the Arabic word “salat” – prayer):

1) dua of praise and exaltation of the beloved and revered Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him; turning to the Lord with words of gratitude for the mercy sent down and blessings for the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him;

2) prayer said during prayer after reading At-Tahiyat in the last rak'ah.

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, lived the most perfect human life. His actions, actions, words are a model for all people.

Allah Almighty said:

“The Messenger of Allah is an exemplary example for those who hope in the Mercy of Allah and the blessings of the Last Day and remember Allah often: in danger, in prayer, in difficulties, and in prosperity” (Holy Quran, 33:21 ).

Salavat is an expression of love, respect and gratitude to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, hope for his intercession on the Day of Judgment.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“On the Day of Judgment, the people closest to me will be those who often read salawat” (Tirmidhi).

He also noted:

“The stingiest among you is the one who does not say salawat when my name is mentioned” (Tirmidhi).

After the revelation of the verse of Surah al-Ahzab, the reading of salawat became fard for Muslims.

“Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet. O you who believe! Bless him and greet him with peace" (Holy Qur'an, 33:56)

To read salavat means to perform an act approved and rewarded by the Almighty. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“Whoever recites one salawat will receive tenfold Mercy from Allah” (Muslim).

Dua begun and completed with salawat will be accepted. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“If one of you reads a prayer, let him first say the words of praise (glorification) of the Almighty, read the salawat and then ask Allah for whatever he wants” (Abu Dawud).

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, bequeathed to Muslims:

“Read salawat for me, and wherever you are, your greetings and prayers will reach me” (Abu Dawud).

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“The most blessed of days is Friday. Read the salawat, and your greetings will be conveyed to me” (Abu Dawud).

The Sahabah inquired about how the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would be able to accept salawat after passing on to the next world. He replied:

“Allah Ta’ala has forbidden the earth to destroy the bodies of the prophets.”

He also said:

“If someone sends salawat, then the angels convey it to me” (Abu Dawud).
