How to perform Salatul Kusoof

The way in which Salaat al-Kusoof is done is to pray two Rakahs in which Quraan is recited aloud, according to the correct one out of the two scholarly opinions. In the first Rakah, one should recite al-Faatihah and a long soorah such as Soorat al-Baqarah or the equivalent, then do a long rukoo, then raise one's head and say, Samia Allaahu liman hamidah, Rabbanaa wa lakal-hamd (Allaah listens to the one who praises Him; our Lord to You be praise) after standing upright, as in other prayers. Then one should then recite al-Faatihah and another long soorah, shorter than in the first recitation, equivalent in length to Soorat Aal Imraan. Then one should do another long rukoo shorter than the first, and when raising one's head, say, Samia Allaahu liman hamidah, Rabbanaa wa lakal-hamd hamdan katheeran tayyiban mubaarakan fih, mal al-samawaati wa mal al-ard wa mal ma shita min shayin bad (Allaah listens to the one who praises Him; our Lord to You be praise, much good and blessed praise, filling heaven and earth and whatever You will besides that). Then he should do two lengthy sujoods, without making the sitting between them too long. Then one should pray the second rakah like the first, with two long rukoos and two long sujoods, as he did in the first rakah. Then he should recite the Tashahhud and say the salaam
