Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih
Our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho
Alihiwassallam) said to his uncle (father’s brother)
Sayyiduna Abbass (may Allah be pleased with him) 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
(Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) 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 (namaaz). But is is
preferred before Zuhr (Fatawa Alamgeeri)
The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu
Wallahu Akbar "
Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with
the following method.
In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana
Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
Now recite Aaoz "Aoozubillah...", Bismillah "Bismillah...",
Then read sura Fatiha and a Surah or minimum of three
small Ayayhs then read the tasbih 10 times again.
Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting
"Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times read
the tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal
Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after
reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times
read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position)
saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar). Sitting in Jalsa read
tasbih 10 times.
Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and
after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three
times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo
Akbar).
Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah
"Bismillah...", and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times.
Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat.
After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola
(first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for
3rd rakaat without saying Salam.
Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana
"Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat untill you sit for
Qaidah Akihra (last sitting) after second sajdah of fourth
Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with
Salam.
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)
