What to Say in Rukoo’ | Episode 6 | Secrets of Salah | The Hidden Gems of Prayer

June 1, 2025
Dr. Omar Suleiman

You bow. You rise. You whisper words you’ve said a thousand times. But what if every motion of salah held its own key to khushoo’? In this series, go deeper into the language, the postures, and the presence of salah. Join Dr. Omar Suleiman to spend the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah exploring the most important aspect of your life and learning how to move towards ever-greater presence in your prayer.

Rukoo’ is the most unstable position of salah. Anyone could be thrown off balance from the bottom of a deep bow. And in that fragile stance, what do you recite?

Subhana rabbi Al-Adheem. Glorious is my Lord, the Immovable, the Strong, the Almighty. In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman explains the singifiance of this contrast, delving into the symbolism of rukuoo’ and the extra recitations that can be made as you bow to Al-Adheem.

Series recorded at Shehzade Korkut Mosque in Antalya, Türkiye
