2. In both rak‘ats there are five rukus:
After al-Hamd and another surah, do ruku.
Then get up and repeat two surahs and go to ruku.
Do this five times, and then go to the sajdah.
Do the 2nd rak‘at in the same way & end with the tashahhud and salam.
**It is recommended that qunut be recited before the second, fourth, sixth, eight & tenth ruku (bowing).
