Opening supplication in salah
Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise. Blessed is Your name, exalted is Your majesty, and there is no deity besides You.
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَٰهَ غَيْرُكَ
Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmuka wa ta‘ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghayruk
Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise. Blessed is Your name, exalted is Your majesty, and there is no deity besides You.

Questions about the duas
When is this dua said?
Worship. Said after the opening takbir, before Al-Fatihah.
Is this dua authentic?
It is recorded in Sunan Abu Dawud. Where a supplication is widely circulated but weakly attributed, we say so rather than list it as though it were established.
Does it have to be said in Arabic?
The prescribed supplications are said in Arabic as they were taught, which is why the transliteration is given alongside. Beyond those, you may ask in whatever language you think in.
How should a child learn this?
By meaning first, then wording. A child who knows what they are asking for remembers the words far longer than one who has only learned the sound.
Do you teach the daily supplications in lessons?
Yes, one to one with a tutor matched to the age and level of the student. The free trial is a real lesson and ends with a written assessment, with no payment details asked for.
If your question is not here, ask it. We would rather answer honestly now than have you find out after enrolling.
