How to Perform Salah According to Shafi'i Mazhab: A Step-by-Step Guide
8. Sit in between TwoΒ sujudΒ (Julus)
The transition from sujud to julus is marked by the takbir, a reminder of the continuous acknowledgment of Allah's greatness in every movement of prayer.
As you move into the sitting position, known as julus, it's a moment of contemplation and a brief pause in the prayer. The recommended way to sit during this position is in the iftirash posture, resting on the left foot and leaning on the erected right leg. The right toes should face the qiblah, aligning your body in a manner that signifies respect and attentiveness in the presence of the Divine.
This posture not only carries a physical significance but also holds spiritual depth. The intentional way of sitting reflects mindfulness and an awareness of the sacredness of the prayer.
May your moments of sitting between two sujud be filled with tranquility, reflection, and a sense of connection with Allah.
Your hands are resting on your lap, touching the upper part of your knees.
This position, however, can be challenging to some, such as those who might have an injury. In that situation, sitting in an upright position you're comfortable with is okay.
Once you have settled down in the right position, read theΒ dua:

O my Lord, forgive me; have mercy on me, strengthen me, raise my rank, sustain me, guide me, grant me wellbeing and pardon me.
