Salah is a sanctuary. When you step into it, you're in a sacred space, a meeting between your soul and its Maker. What do you say first?

After the takbeer—a profound phrase of remembrance in its own right—we learn of several du'as Rasulullah ﷺ used to recite, phrases meant to distance the soul from its sins and enter the mind into a state of remembrance.

Join Dr. Omar Suleiman to learn these hallowed words and bring them into your own prayers.
