I stand up facing the noble Qiblah.
I raise my hands to the level of my ears and say, “Allahu akbar.”
While I am saying “Allahu akbar” out loud, I also say in my heart, “I now pray the obligatory Maghrib Prayer.”
I do the first and second rak^ahs like the first and second rak^ahs of the Subh Prayer.
However, after the second sujud of the second rak^ah, I sit and recite the Tashahhud, then say, “Allahumma salli ^ala MuHammad.”
I say, “Allahu akbar” and stand up for the third rak^ah, which I do like the other rak^ahs, except while standing I only recite the Fatihah in a whisper, and continue the rest until the second sujud.
After the second sujud in the third rak^ah, I sit and recite the Tashahhud, the Salatul-Ibrahimiyyah and the supplication at the end of the prayer.
I turn my head towards the right and say, “As-salamu ^alaykum wa raHmatullah.”
Then I turn my head towards the left and say, “As-salamu ^alaykum wa raHmatullah.”
