The First Tashahhud

Said while sitting in the second rak'ah

التَّحِيَّاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلّٰهِ. السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ. السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِيْنَ. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ

At-tahiyyaatul-mubaarakaatush-shalawaatuth-thayyibaatu lillaah. Assalaamu 'alaika ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. Assalaamu 'alainaa wa 'alaa 'ibaadillaahish-shaalihiin. Asyhadu allaa ilaaha illallaah, wa asyhadu anna Muhammadar rasuulullaah.

All blessed greetings, prayers, and good things are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

Here we say the two testimonies of faith — the core of a Muslim's belief. As we say them, many raise the index finger as a sign of tawhid.
