Method And Benefits Of Performing Various Nafl Salaah:
! Tahiyyatul Wudhu • Salaatut-Tahajjud
! Salaatut-Tawbah • Salaatut-Tasbih

TAHIYYATUL WUDHU
After completion of wudhu, the performing of two rakaah of Tahiyyatul
Wudhu is full of blessings and makes paradise obligatory for the
performer. Sahih Muslim

SALAATUT-TAHAJJUD

To wake up in the middle of the night to perform Tahajjud is very beneficial,

as it brings about the most rewards of all Nawafil (plural of Nafl). One should
perform anything from 4 raka’at to 12 raka’at. Baihaqi relates that 4 raka’at is
equal to 4 raka’at on Laylatul-Qadr. It’s performance brings one nearer to
Allah I, and is Kaffarah (atonement) for one’s previous sins and is protection
from performing future sins. Tirmidhi

The doors of mercy are opened and this is the time when one’s prayers
are accepted because the Almighty sends a message in the last part of the
night saying if there is anyone who will appeal to Him, his appeal shall be
answered, and if there are any seeking His forgiveness, they shall be
forgiven. One should take advantage when waking up for suhur (sehri) in
Ramadan and perform this salaah before partaking in sehri.

SALAATUT-TAWBAH
If one has performed a sinful act he should read two rakaat salaatut-
tawbah after which he should sincerely repent, feel remorse for his
sins, seek forgiveness and make a firm decision not to repeat the sin. By
Allah’s I Grace the sins will be forgiven. Shami

The Holy Qur’an - Surah Al-Imran - ayah 135 says:-

“And those who have performed a shameful act or have wronged
 themselves. Earnestly remember Allah I and ask for forgiveness of
their sins. Who can forgive sins except Allah I?”

SALAATUT TASHBIH

For this salaah four raka’at should be performed. The following tasbih
should be read 75 times in each rakah making a total of 300 Tasbih in
the four rakaat. The Tasbih is:

SUBNAL-LHI WALAMDU LILLHI WA LA ILHA

ILLAL-LHU WALLHU AKBAR.

Glorified is Allah. All praise belongs to Allah.

There is no god but Allah. Allah is great.

When starting the salaah say Allahu Akbar, recite the thana, Surah al
Fatihah and another Surah followed by the tasbih 15 times. Then peform
ruku in which after the usual recitation for ruku read the tasbih 10 times.
Thereafter stand up and read Rabbana lakal hamd after which read the
tasbih 10 times. While performing Sajdah, after the usual recitation read
the tasbih 10 times, then sit up in qa`dah and read tasbih 10 times
followed by the second sajdah after the du’a of which read the tasbih 10
times. Then, after the second sajdah sit and read tasbih 10 times before
getting up for the second raka’ah. All the subsequent raka’at should be
performed the same way.
The traditions have highly recommended it, the Holy Prophet r told
his uncle Abbas t that after performing the 4 raka’at of Salatut -Tasbih
one’s sins (past and future, small and big, hidden and open-intentional
and unintentional) all are forgiven. Furthermore He advised that it be
read every day, if that is not possible then on every Jummah or once a
month or once a year or at least once in a lifetime. It can be performed
any time of the day or night except at the improper makruh times.
