What to Say in Ruku and Sujud
A practical explanation of bowing and prostration adhkar and dua in sujud.
In ruku, the worshipper glorifies Allah with phrases such as Subhana Rabbiyal Adhim. In sujud, the worshipper glorifies Allah with phrases such as Subhana Rabbiyal Ala and may make personal dua.
Sujud is a major place for supplication, so the page connects sujud adhkar with duas in prayer and after-prayer dua while noting that several established wordings exist.
Meaning in the Prayer Flow
Ruku is a position of glorification and humility, while sujud is a position of deep submission and dua.
Understanding this helps people avoid treating the adhkar as disconnected words.
Dua in Sujud
A Muslim may make much dua in sujud according to authentic guidance, while preserving known adhkar and avoiding unsupported special wordings.
This balance keeps the page useful and careful.
