Intention before the Prayer

After preparing for the prayer, face towards the Qibla and make the intention in your head to perform the prayer. This is not to be anounced but can be a silent understanding in your mind that you are aware what prayer you're going to make.

Takbeer (Starting the prayer)

Raise your hands to ear level, palms facing towards the Qibla.
