(Open your hands and bring them up, such that your thumbs are in the same elevation as your ears and announce your intention)

 I will perform four parts Night-Prayers

قربة الی الله:  For the sake of closeness to God

God is the Greatest (Supreme)

 (At this point, we sit down and place our forehead on the ground “Soo-Jood” and we say :)
