Allah, Blessed is Your Name and exalted is Your Majesty, and

Allah from Satan, the accursed." He then recites The Opening
Chapter of the Holy Qur'an. At its conclusion, when he says, "Nor
of those who go astray," the congregation says, "Amen," in a low
voice. The Imam will then recite a chapter or excerpt from the Ho-
ly Qur’an, after which he will again say, "Allah is The Greatest,"
and assume the bending position, followed by the congregation.
While in the bending position the Imam recites silently three times
or more, "Highly glorified is my Lord,-The Mighty." He then rises
slowly. While rising he says aloud, "Allah hears him who praises
Him." The congregation, while rising slowly to the standing posi-
tion, responds in one low voice, "Our Lord, for You is the Praise."
The Imam repeats the same to himself silently.
