or he may say any other supplications which the prophet, (peace and blessings of allah be on him) used to say in his prayers. it is better to recite these supplications alternately, the first one in the morning prayer "fajr ", the second in the noon prayer "zuhr", each one by turn, in conformity with what the prophet  used to do.

after reciting the opening supplication, the worshipper says:

(( أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم ))

((aouzo billahi min al-shatani-r-ragim.))

which means :

"i seek protection of allah against the accursed satan."

then he says:

((بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم))

"bism illahi-rahmani raheem"

which means:

"in the name of allah, the all merciful, the all compassionate." and recites the fatiha (the opening sura of the glorious quran.) prophet muhammad, may peace and blessings be upon him, said:

 (( لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتاب)) 

"prayer without reciting the fatiha is invalid."

the worshipper should say "a'meen" after reciting the fatiha loudly if the prayer is said loudly and whisper it in inaudible prayers. to be in conformity with the traditions of the prophet, the worshipper is advised to recite verses from medium size suras of the quran in the zuhr (noon), asr (late afternoon), and isha (night ) prayers. as for the fajr (morning ) prayer, the worshipper is advised to recite a passage from the long suras of the quran. he has the choice in maghrib prayer ( evening prayer ) either to recite passages from the long suras or from the short suras of the quran.
