Pillars of prayer
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ
SubhanaRabbiyal-'Azim
Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent.
Ruku comes after the standing recitation and is one of the clear physical pillars of the prayer.
The remembrance commonly taught here is Subhana Rabbiyal-'Azim.
A beginner should learn both the position and the remembrance together.
