As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):
Still have no idea how Muslims I pray beside perform Sunnah or Fard Salat completing the entire Salat before I complete the first rakat? I recite moderately. Not slow and definitely not speed recitation.
Even when I am reciting the Al-Fatihah and brothers begin their prayer they are in the second or third rakat within one minute. How in the world is this done? Is the recitation just a thought and not the actual recitation?
First Rakat
Niyyat (Intentions)
"Takbirat Al Ihram"- "Allahu Akbar
Du'a (Supplication)
Subhana kAllahumma wa bi-hamdika wa tabarakas muka wata'la jadduka wala ilaha ghayruka"
"Praise and glory be to Allah. Blessed be Your Name, exalted be Your Majesty and Glory. There is no god but You."
Ta 'udhuz
"Audhu billahi min al-shayta nir-rajim
"I seek protection of Allah against the accursed Satan."
Al Fatihah Surah (
One of following)

An-Nasr

Now how can that all be
recited in under a minute?
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 711:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle used to keep silent between the Takbir and the recitation of Qur'an and that interval of silence used to be a short one. I said to the Prophet "May my parents be sacrificed for you! What do you say in the pause between Takbir and recitation?" The Prophet said, "I say, 'Allahumma, ba'id baini wa baina khatayaya kama ba'adta baina-l-mashriqi wa-l-maghrib. Allahumma, naqqim min khatayaya kama yunaqqa-ththawbu-l-abyadu mina-ddanas. Allahumma, ighsil khatayaya bil-ma'i wa-th-thalji wal-barad (O Allah! Set me apart from my sins (faults) as the East and West are set apart from each other and clean me from sins as a white garment is cleaned of dirt (after thorough washing). O Allah! Wash off my sins with water, snow and hail.)"
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 713:
Narrated Abu Ma'mar:
We asked Khabbab whether Allah's Apostle used to recite (the Qur'an) in the Zuhr and the 'Asr prayers. He replied in the affirmative. We said, "How did you come to know about it?" He said, "By the movement of his beard."
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 718:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I asked Allah's Apostle about looking hither and thither in prayer. He replied, "It is a way of stealing by which Satan takes away (a portion) from the prayer of a person."
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 723:
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever does not recite Al-Fatiha in his prayer, his prayer is invalid."
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 726:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada:
My father said, "The Prophet in Zuhr prayers used to recite Al-Fatiha along with two other Suras in the first two Rakat: a long one in the first Rak'a and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and at times the verses were audible. In the 'Asr prayer the Prophet used to recite Al-Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two Rakat and used to prolong the first Rak'a. And he used to prolong the first Rak'a of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second.
