And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allâh, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do. (7:180)

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى

How to perform Salatul Tasbih

Salatul Tasbih

Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih 

Our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w) said to his uncle (father’s brother) Sayyiduna Abbass (r.a) Oh uncle shall I not give you Shall I not grant you Shall I not award you Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah will forgive your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed. Then he (s.a.w) explained the taught the way to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day, if you can not pray once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime (Abu’Dawood & Tirimzi)

How to perform Salatul Tasbih?

This salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at a time and can be read in any part of the day and night besides Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset makrooh times, keeping in mind the forbidden times for performing Salat (namaz). But is is preferred before Zuhr.

The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:

سُبحَانَ اللّٰہِ وَالحَمدُ لِلّٰہِ وَلآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ وَاللّٰہُ اَکبَرُ

There are two methods and one can opt for either of the two methods.

First Method

In “The Way The Noble Messenger Offered His Prayer”, this method is stated

Make intention of 4 rak’ah salah.

Say “Allahu Akbar”, fold the hands together, Recite Thana.
Recite the tasbih 15 times.

Recite ta’uwuz, tasmiyah, Surah Fatihah and any other surah with it.
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Go into ruku and recite “Subhana Rabiyal Azeem” 3 times.
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Rise from bowing position and say “Rabana lakal hamd”.
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Do the sujood and in the first sujood recite “Subhana Rabiyal A’ala” 3 times
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Rise from sujood in the sitting position.
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Do the second sujood as usual and recite “Subhana Rabiyal A’ala” 3 times
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Stand up and then recite the tasbih 15 times before Surah Fatihah.

For the second rak’ah repeat the tasbih in the postures stated above and same will be for the third and fourth rak’ah.

Second Method

Make the intention, say “Allahu Akbar” and fold hands. Recited Surah Fatihah and another Surah.
Recite Tasbih 15 times.

Go into ruku and recite “Subhana Rabiyal Azeem” 3 times.
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Rise from bowing position and say “Rabana lakal hamd”.
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Do the sujood and in the first sujood recite “Subhana Rabiyal A’ala” 3 times
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Rise from sujood in the sitting position.
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Do the second sujood as usual and recite “Subhana Rabiyal A’ala” 3 times
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Before standing up, go into sitting position
Recite tasbih 10 times.

Stand up, recite Surah Fatihah and another Surah.
Recite Tasbih 15 times

Perform the rest of the salah while reciting the tasbih in the stated postures.[1]

Note:
In the second rak’ah and fourth rak’ah the tasbih will be recited before the tashahhud.

Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:

1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It is Makruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example if you are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your right hand first for the first count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the middle finger for third count, following this method untill you reach the pinky of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the same method in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture. For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in first Sajdah then do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been estalished. But if you had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the first raka’, Surah Wal A’sr in the second raka’, Surah Kaferoon (qul ya aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Akhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd) in the fourth raka’. If one does not remember these surah they can recite the ones they prefer.

May Allah accept this dua’ (supplication) for the sake of the trustworthy PROPHET MOHAMMED (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him)

[1] “Heavenly Ornaments”

Lower your gaze .. (short story)

Dear Members, As Salaamu Alaikum!

Today we will share with you a story of a person with strong desires to look at people in the market. We too may be like this person. Many of us have lots of desires to look at other men/women in the market. And when we start looking , the evil desires also come up in the heart. And they surface soon and cause us to commit shameless sins. We must lower our gaze as guided in the Holy Qur'an. Dear brothers and sisters,  Ramadan is just less than a week away so start lowering your gaze from now itself. Remember, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is watching you all the time, so fear Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and do not become a prey to Shaitaan.

Let us read a short story which will In sha Allah help us to lower our gaze.


A Young man came to a Maulana and said, “I am a young man with strong desires. I cannot help looking at people when I am in the bazaar (market). What do I do?” The Maulana handed him a cup of milk that was full to the brim, and told him to deliver it to an address that would take the young man directly through the bazaar (market). He then instructed the young man that the milk should not spill, and the man said that it would not. The Maulana then summoned one of his students and told him to accompany the man through the bazaar to the destination, and to severely beat him if any milk were to spill. This man successfully took the milk to the destination and returned to give the good news to the Maulana. The Maulana asked, “Tell me, how many sights and faces did you see in the bazaar?” The man replied incredulously, “Maulana, I didn’t even realize what was going on around me. I was only fearful of the beating and disgrace that I would have to endure in public if a drop of milk were to spill.” The Maulana smiled and said,

“It is the same with a believer. The believer fears that Allah may disgrace him in front of the entire creation on the Day of Judgment if his faith were to spill over from his heart.”

Such people save themselves from sin because they constantly remain focused and are prepared for the Day of Judgment.

-------------------
Hijaab for men
-------------------
 Islam has a system of hijaab. The Glorious Qur’an first mentions hijaab for the men and then for the women. Hijaab for the men is mentioned in the following verse:

"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do."

[Al-Qur’an 24:30]

The moment a man looks at a woman and if any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he should lower his gaze.
--------------------
Hijaab for women
--------------------


Hijaab for women is mentioned in the following verse:


"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons...."
[Al-Qur’an 24:31]

The extent of hijaab for a woman is that her complete body should be covered. The only part that can be seen, are the face and the hands up to the wrists. If they wish to cover, they can even cover these parts of the body. However some Islamic scholars insist that even the face should be covered.

With Best Wishes
