The translation of Salah is as follows:

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

Allah is the Greatest.

 

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

Transcendent are you O Allah. And praise be to You. Blessed is Your name and Exalted is Your Majesty, and there is no God except for you.

 

أَعُوذُ بِاَللَّهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

I seek protection with Allah (Most High) from Shaytaan the accursed.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ. الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ. مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ. إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ. اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ. صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Master of the Day of Judgment. We worship You alone, and we ask You alone for help. Guide us along the straight path. The path of those You have blessed, not those You are displeased with, nor those who are astray.

 

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ. اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ. لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate.
Say, He is Allah, the One. Allah the Eternal. He does not beget, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.

 

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيمِ

Glory be to my Lord, the Greatest.

 

سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهْ

Allah has heard the one who praised Him.

رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ

Our Lord. Praise be to you.

 

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى

Glory be to my Lord, the Most High.

 

التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

The greetings are for Allah and prayers and purity. Peace be upon you O Prophet, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah’s righteous slaves. I testify that there is no God except Allah, and that Muhammed is His slave and His Messenger.

 

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ. اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

O Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad just as you have sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, you are praiseworthy majestic. O Allah bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as you blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, you are praiseworthy majestic.

 

رَبَّنا آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ

Our Lord, grant us good in this life, good in the next life, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.

 

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ

Peace be upon you, and the Mercy of Allah.
