Issue 726: Ayat prayer consists of two Rak'ats each of which has five bows; After making the intention, one must pronounce the Takbeer and recite one Al-Hamd and one entire chapter and then bow and rise, and recite one Al-Hamd and one entire chapter and again bow and rise, and do this five times; after rising from the fifth bow, they must perform two prostrations and stand up to perform the second Rak'at in the same order as the first Rak'at; finally they must pronounce the testimony and the salutation to finish their prayer; It is also permissible that after the Al-Hamd of each Rak'at, one breaks a chapter into five parts and recites one of the parts before each bow; For example, after reciting the Al-Hamd, they make their intention for the recitation of the "Ikhlaas" chapter, they recite, "Bis millahir Rahmanir Rahim" which is accounted a verse itself, and then bow and rise, and go on, "Qul huwallahu Ahad" and bow and rise, then recite, "Allahus Samad" and bow and rise, then say, "Lam yalid wa lam yulad" and bow rise, and finally they pronounce, "wa lam yakan lahu kufuwan ahad" and perform the fifth bow, rise and sit down for prostrations; again, they must stand up and repeat this for the second Rak'at.
