Salatul Tasbih: 20 Powerful Prayers for Forgiveness and Blessings

Introduction

Salatul Tasbih is a special voluntary prayer in Islam that holds immense spiritual significance. It is a prayer through which Muslims seek forgiveness for their sins and increase their closeness to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recommended it as a means of attaining immense rewards and purification of the soul.

The Importance of Salatul Tasbih

Salatul Tasbih is highly regarded for its power to erase sins and grant spiritual peace. It is narrated in hadith that the Prophet (PBUH) advised his uncle, Abbas (RA), to perform this prayer regularly for the forgiveness of sins. It is an effective way to attain Allah’s mercy and blessings.

How to Perform Salatul Tasbih

Salatul Tasbih consists of four rakats (units of prayer) with a specific form of tasbih (glorification of Allah) repeated 300 times during the entire prayer. Here’s how to perform it:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Intention (Niyyah): Begin by making the intention to perform Salatul Tasbih solely for the sake of Allah.
2. Recite the Opening Takbir: Start the prayer as usual with ‘Allahu Akbar’ and Surah Al-Fatiha.
3. Recite Surah: After Surah Al-Fatiha, recite any Surah from the Quran.
4. Recite the Tasbih 15 Times: Before going into Ruku, recite the following: Subhanallah wal Hamdulillahi wa La ilaha illallahu wallahu Akbar (Glory be to Allah, all praise is for Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
5. In Ruku: After saying ‘Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem’ three times, recite the tasbih 10 times.
6. In the Standing Position (I’tidal): Recite the tasbih 10 times.
