Firstly, we state our intention (niyyah) in our hearts or audibly that we are going to perform the four sunnah rakats of the late afternoon prayer by saying "I intend to perform the four rakat fardh of the Salat Al-Asr for the consent of Allah". While raising your hands in the manner stated above, we say takbir "Allahu Akbar"
After that, we start to recite first "Subhanaka"; after Subhanaka we say:"Audhu billahi min-ash-shayta -nir-rajeem Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-raheem" and recite Surah Al Fatiha. Then we recite some other surah.
Stay in ruku', at least for a time during which "Subhana Rabb'i-y-al-Adhiym" could be said three times calmly and comfortably.
Then we return to the standing position saying "Sami Allahu li-man hamidah ". We stand still for a moment and say: "Rabb'ana lakal hamd"
Then we go to prostration (sajdah) by saying "Allahu Akbar". In sajdah we say three times "Subhanarabb'iy-al-A 'la".
Then we rise and sit from the first sajdah by saying "Allahu Akbar" and then we go for the second 'Sajdah' by saying" Allahu Akbar " again.
And we say three times "Subhanarabb'iy-al-A 'la" again of the second sajdah.
Then we rise back from sajdah to the standing position by saying: "Allahu Akbar". We clasp our hands, thus the second rakat starts. We say "Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-raheem"and recite the Fatiha. Then we recite some other surah.
After this we go to ruku' again.
