Ruku (ركوع) The ruku' is a form of prostration done in prayer. It is like a half prostration. It is initiated from a standing upright position and it precedes the sujood (complete prostration). The person bends their body forward at the hip and with their outstretched arms they reach to place their hands on their knees. Some words are said "subhana rabbial adheema wa bihamdih" (Most glorious is the Mighty Lord and He is Merciful), then the act is complete and the person rises back to stand in the upright position.The ascii-art stick figure below represents this move. The forward slash represents the arms. |
