Attahiyat is a key part of the Islamic prayer (Salah) and is recited during the sitting position (Tashahhud) of the prayer. It serves as an important expression of praise and gratitude to Allah and a testimony to the Oneness of Allah and the finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as His Messenger.
The Attahiyat is recited during the second sitting in prayers like the two-unit (Rak’ah) and four-unit (Rak’ah) prayers, such as during Salat al-Dhuhr, Salat al-Asr, and Salat al-Maghrib.
التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ، وَالصَّلَواتُ، وَالطَّيِّباتُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسولُهُ

All greetings of humility are for Allah, and all prayers and goodness. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.
