Question: What is the procedure to perform a Sajdah Tilawat?

Answer: There are 14 Sajdah Tilawats in The Quran. These have been marked with the word ‘As Sajdah’ in the margin. When a person recites or hears any of these verses, a Sajdah Tilawat becomes necessary.

The procedure is as follows:
In the state of Wudhu, facing the Qiblah, from either a standing or sitting position, a person says: 'Allahu Akbar' (without raising the hands) and goes down into Sajdah. In Sajdah the person will read 'Subhaana Rabbiyal A'ala' three times. Then he will raise from Sajdah saying; 'Allahu Akbar'.The Sajdah Tilawat will be complete. (There is no Salaam.)
وشرطها: الطهارة عن الحدث والخبث ، وأستقبال القبلة ، وستر العورة وركنها وضع الجبهة على الارض ( الطحطاوي 390
And Allah Knows Best
