In the three raka'át(i.e. Magrib) or four raka'át (Like Zuhr, 'Asr and 'Ishá) Saláh you stand up for the remaining raka'át after Tashahhud. On the other hand if it is two raka'át (Fajr) Saláh, keep sitting and after this recite Darud (blessing for the Prophet) in these words:
AL-LÁHUM-MA SAL-LI 'ALÁ MUHAMMAD-IW WA 'ALÁ ÁLI MUHAMMADIN
O Alláh, exalt Muhammad and the followers of Muhammad.
KAMÁ SAL-LAITA 'ALÁ IBRÁHÍMA WA'ALÁ ÁLI IBRÁHÍMA
As thou did exalt Ibrahim and his followers.
Thou art the praised, the Glorious.
AL-LÁHUM-MA BÁRIK 'ALÁ MUHAMMAD-IW
O Alláh, bless Muhammad
and his followers
KAMÁBÁRAKTA 'ALÁ IBRÁHÍMA WA 'ALÁ ÁLI IBRÁHÍMA
as Thou has blest Ibrahim and his followers.
Thou art the Praised, The Glorious.
Then say silently:
RAB-BIJ-'ALNÍ MUQÍMAS-SALÁTI WAMIN DHUR-RIY-YATI
O Lord! Make me and my children steadfast in Prayer;
RAB-BANÁ WATAQAB-BAL DU'Á' RAB-BIGH FIRLÍ
Our Lord! Accept the prayer. Our Lord! forgive me.
WA LIWÁLIDAY-YA WALIL-MU'MINÍNA YAUMA YAQÚM-UL HISAB
and my parents and believers on the Day of Judgement.
Now turn your face to the right (as in figure 13) saying:
AS-SALÁMU 'ALAIKUM WA-RAHMATUL-LÁH
Peace be on you and Alláh's blessings.
Then turn your face to the left(as in figure 14) and repeat the above words(aloud).
This completes your two raka'át Saláh. The four raka'át of Zuhr, 'Asr and 'Ishá are said in an identical manner with the only difference that in the first two Raka'át of Zuhr and 'Asr, Al-Fátihah is said silently while in 'Ishá prayer it is recited aloud.
If you are performing a three raka'át (like Maghrib) or four raka'át (like Zuhr, 'Asr and 'Ishá) Saláh stand up after Tashahhud saying ALLÁH AKBAR and recite Al-Fátihah. You must remember that Al-Fátihah is always recited silently in the third and fourth raka'át of every Saláh. When you are offering Fard Saláh do not recite any additional passage from the Holy Qur'án after Al-Fátihah in the last two raka'át. After the second Sajdah in the fourth raka'át say the Tashahhud, Darud and end with "AS-SALÁMU 'ALAIKUM WA-RAHMATUL-LÁH" to each side (first right, then left as shown in the above pictures). This marks the end of Saláh.
