2️⃣: Optimal Instances for Executing Sajdah Sahw: Sajdah Sahw finds its manifestation in the ensuing scenarios: a. Upon inadvertent omission or forgetfulness of a requisite action during the prayer. b. In cases where a superfluous action is mistakenly executed during the prayer. c. When uncertainty shrouds the accurate tally of prayer units (rak’ahs) performed. 🙇♂️💭

• Eid ul-Fitr: A Global Celebration of Faith and Culture
• Salah
• Laylatul Qadr / Shab E Qadr : The Night of Power
• 21st Ramadan – The Martyrdom of Mola Ali (Share-e-Khuda)

3️⃣: Steps to Perform Sajdah Sahw:  

These steps for the execution of Sajdah Sahw:

A. Culmination of the Prayer:

● Conclude the prayer in the customary manner, encompassing the recitation of the Tashahhud and the Tasleem (uttering “Assalamu alaikum” towards the right and left).

 B. Maintaining Seated Posture:

            ● Post-Tasleem, persist in the seated stance without altering position.

C. Enunciation of Takbeer:

● Utter the Takbeer (proclaiming “Allahu Akbar”) to initiate the Sajdah Sahw. 💫💬

 D. Prostration (Sajdah):

            ● Execute two supplementary Sajdahs (prostrations) subsequent to Takbeer articulation.

            ● During each Sajdah, firmly place forehead, nose, hands, knees, and toes upon the ground.

            ● Within the prostration phase, articulate customary invocations, like “Subhanallah” (Exalted is Allah), thrice, or any other validated supplications. 🙌🕌

E. Reverting to Seated Position:

● Following each Sajdah, return to the seated posture with serenity and composure.

 F. Reiteration of Tasleem:

            ● Post completion of the twin Sajdahs, reiterate the Tasleem, expressing “Assalamu alaikum” to the right and left. 🌟✨

4️⃣ Opportune Timing for Sajdah Sahw: ● Immediate performance of Sajdah Sahw post the conclusion of the prayer takes precedence, precluding engagement in other activities. ⏳🙇♀️

5️⃣ Intent for Sajdah Sahw: ● The internalized intention for Sajdah Sahw takes root, a yearning for divine forgiveness from Allah, coupled with rectification of any prayer-related inadvertencies or omissions. ❤️🤲

O Allah, there is none who can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold; and the wealth of the wealthy does not avail them against You.

Warrād, (the clerk of Mughīra bin Shu’ba), reported that Mughīra (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) dictated to me in a letter addressed to Mu’awiya (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) that Our Prophet ﷺ used to recite [the above] after every Farz (compulsory )prayer. (Bukhārī 844)

After Salah #3

Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahū lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku, wa lahu-l-ḥamd, wa Huwa ʿalā kulli shay’in Qadīr, lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāh, lā ilāha illā-llāh, wa lā naʿbudu illā iyyāh, lahu-n-nʿimatu wa lahu-l-faḍl, wa lahu-th-thanā’u-l-ḥasan, lā ilāha illā-llāhu mukhliṣīna lahu-d-dīn, wa law kariha-l-kāfirūn.

There is no god but Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful. There is no power (in averting evil) or strength (in attaining good) except through Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we do not worship any other besides Him. To Him Alone belong grace, bounteousness and noble praise. There is no god but Allah. We sincerely devote our religion for Him, even though the disbelievers may dislike it.

Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) recited [the mentioned supplication] at the conclusion of every prayer after the salutation. (The narrator added): “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite it at the end of every prayer.” (Muslim 594)

After Salah #4

Allāhumma aʿinnī ʿalā dhikrika wa shukrika wa ḥusni ʿibādatik.

O Allah, help me in remembering You, in being grateful to You, and in worshipping You in an excellent manner.

Mu’ādh bin Jabal (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) conveyed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took him by the hand and said, “O Mu’ādh, I swear by Allah that I love you. I swear by Allah that I love you. O Mu’ādh, I advise you not to forget to supplicate after every prayer by saying: [the above].” (Abū Dāwūd 1522)

After Salah #5

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-bukhl, wa aʿūdhu bika mina-l-jubn, wa aʿūdhu bika min an uradda ilā ardhali-l-ʿumur, wa aʿūdhu bika min fitnati-d-dunyā, wa aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from miserliness and I seek Your protection from cowardice. I seek Your protection from being sent back to a miserable old age. I seek Your protection from the trials of the world and I seek Your protection from the punishment of the grave.

Amr bin Maymūn al-Awdī narrated that Sa’d used to instruct his sons in the following words, much like a teacher imparts writing skills to students. He would mention that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seek refuge with Allah from them [the above] at the conclusion of every prayer. (Bukhārī 2822)

After Salah – Tasbih of Fatimah  #6

Subḥāna-llāh (x33),

 alḥamduli-llāh (x33),

 Allāhu akbar (x34),

 Lā ilāha illā Allāhu waḥdahū lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamd, wa Huwa ʿalā kulli shay’in Qadīr. (x1)

Allah is free from imperfection. All praise be to Allah. Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful.

Abū Hurayrah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever recites [the above] after every prayer will have all his sins forgiven, even if they are as numerous as the foam of the sea.” (Muslim 597)

Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated that Abū Dharr said, “O Prophet of Allah, the wealthy people have all the rewards; they pray and fast like we do, and they have surplus wealth to give in charity. However, we have no wealth to give in charity.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “O Abū Dharr, should I not teach you phrases that will elevate your status to that of those who surpass you? No one can reach your rank except one who acts like you. Say [the mentioned supplication] after each prayer.” (Abū Dāwūd 1504)

Ka’b bin ‘Ujra (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There are certain expressions, the repetition or performance of which at the end of every obligatory prayer will never disappoint the one who does so: ‘Subhānallah’ 33 times, ‘Alhamdulillah’ 33 times, and ‘Allahu Akbar’ 34 times after every prayer.” (Muslim 596)

After Salah –  Āyat al-Kursī #7

Allāhu lā ilāha illā Huwa-l-Ḥayyu-l-Qayyūm, lā ta’khudhuhū sinatuw-wa lā nawm, lahū mā fi-s-samāwāti wa mā fi-l-arḍ, man dhā’lladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahū illā bi-idhnih, yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mā khalfahum, wa lā yuḥīṭūna bi-shay’im-min ʿilmihī illā bi-mā shā’, wasiʿa kursiyyuhu-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ, wa lā ya’ūduhū ḥifẓuhumā wa Huwa-l-ʿAlliyu-l-ʿAẓīm.

Allah, there is no god but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him Alone belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (2:255)

Abū Umāmah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever recites [Āyah al-Kursī] after every obligatory prayer, nothing will hinder them from entering Paradise except death.” (Nasā’ī in ‘Amal al-Yawm wa-l-Laylah 100)

‘Ā’ishah ((raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhā) stated, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never concluded a gathering, recited the Qur’ān, or performed a prayer without concluding with these words.” She inquired, “O Messenger of Allah, I notice that you consistently end gatherings, Quranic recitations, and prayers with these words?” He replied, “Yes. For whoever spoke virtuous words, these words [the above] will serve as a seal for them, and for whoever uttered something harmful, these words will serve as its expiation.” (Nasā’ī in al-Sunan al-Kubrā’ 10067, Nasā’ī in ʿAmal al-Yawm wa-l-Laylah 308, Ṭabarānī in al-Duʿā’ 1912)
