SALAATUL HAJAT : The salaat to be performed when one has a need
Untitled Document
When a dire need arises, perform a proper wudhu then perform two rakaats of salaah with full devotion and concentration. Hymn the praises of Allah, recite durood upon Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam and then recite the following dua at least once. However, it may be recited as many times as one wishes.
TRANSLATION: “There is none worthy of worship besides Allah, the Clement, the Bountiful. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Oh Allah, I ask of You all those things which draw Your Mercy and which makes Your Forgiveness necessary, a fair chance/share of every goodness and protection from all sins. Do not leave any of my sins unforgiven and no need (of mine) with which You are pleased, unfulfilled, O Most Merciful of those who show mercy.” (Tirmizi Vol.1 P.108/109)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Just as it is necessary for a person to abstain from poison while taking medicine, likewise the full benefit of these duas will be only realised if a person abstains from sin. If perchance one does commit any sin, one should immediately resort to Taubah and Istighfaar. Therefore, abstention from sin is absolutely necessary. (Hakeem Mohammed Akhtar [M.Z.])
