For that reason Takbeeratul Ehraam, and not niyyah, has been treated as the first part of prayer. That is because niyyah alone does not set prayer rolling.
Below is an example of Takbeeratul Ehraam:
Takbeeratul Ehraam (The First Takbir – Allah hu Akbar) Lift both hands up to the ears and say  |
ALLAH HU AKBAR Allah is Great |
