   • Complete the second Raka'at with Ruku and Sujud.

Step 4: The Khutbah (Sermon)

• Listen Attentively: After the prayer, the Imam will deliver a sermon (Khutbah). It is important to listen attentively as it contains valuable guidance for the community.
• Reflect on the Message: Take time to reflect on the teachings shared during the Khutbah.

Step 5: Celebrating After the Prayer
