It should not be raised up straight in the direction of the sky.However, lower the shahadah finger while saying finger but retain, right through the end, the initial formation of the rest of the fingers you already had when making the pointing motion. After finishing above recitation, the head is hung low, then turned slowly to full extension to the right, so that the eyes can glance back over the shoulder, and one recites: As-salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahAnd turning the head then to the left, the phrase is repeated:As-salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah.
