It functions as a conduit to uphold the sanctity and entirety of Salah. 🤲🌟

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. 🙇♂️💭

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. ❤️🤲

I seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and punishment, and from the evil of His servants, and from the evil suggestions of the devils and from them appearing to me.

ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb narrated from his father, who narrated from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When one of you becomes frightened during sleep, then let him say: [the above]. For verily, they shall not harm him.” He said: “So ʿAbdullah b. ʿAmr (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) used to teach it to those of his children who attained maturity, and those of them who did not, he would write it on a sheet and then hang it around their neck.” (Tirmidhī 3528)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you sees a dream which pleases him, he should not tell anybody about it except to the one whom he loves. And if he sees a dream which he dislikes, then he should seek Allah’s protection from its evil and from the evil of Shaytān. He should spit three times on his left and should not tell anybody about it, lest it might harm him.” (Bukhārī 6986)

Allāhumma Anta Aḍudī wa Anta Naṣīrī, Bika aḥūlu, wa bika aṣūlu, wa bika uqātil.

O Allah, You are my aid and helper; by You I move, by You I attack, and by You I fight.

Anas b. Mālik (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on an expedition, he said [the above].” (Abū Dāwūd 2632)


  1. Turn to Allah in Prayer: Engage in sincere and heartfelt prayers to seek comfort and strength from Allah. Regularly perform your daily prayers and make specific supplications for protection and courage.
  2. Recite Quranic Verses: Recite verses from the Quran that offer solace and reassurance. Ayat al-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255) and the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:285-286) are known for their protective qualities.
  3. Seek Refuge in Allah: Recite the supplications for seeking refuge (A’udhu) from the evil of fear and any harm. Seeking refuge in Allah is a powerful way to dispel fear.

  5. Practice Deep Breathing and Relaxation: Islam encourages maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. Practice deep breathing and relaxation techniques to help alleviate anxiety and fear.
  6. Maintain a Strong Connection with Allah: Strengthen your relationship with Allah through consistent acts of worship, such as prayer, supplication, and regular recitation of the Quran. A strong spiritual connection can bring inner peace.
  7. Engage in Dhikr (Remembrance): Engage in the remembrance of Allah through phrases such as “La ilaha illallah” (There is no god but Allah) and “Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa” (Allah is Sufficient for me; there is no deity except Him). These expressions provide reassurance and comfort.
  8. Seek Knowledge: Learn about the teachings of Islam regarding fear and courage. Understanding the wisdom behind challenges and relying on Allah’s guidance can strengthen your resolve.
  9. Seek Support from Others: Share your fears with trusted friends, family members, or members of the community. Seeking emotional support is encouraged in Islam, and connecting with others can alleviate anxiety.
  10. Trust in Allah’s Plan: Remember that Allah is in control of all affairs. Trust in His plan and have faith that He is the Best of Planners. Acceptance of Allah’s decree can bring a sense of peace and resilience.

I seek the forgiveness of Allah. O Allah, You are The Flawless and The Source of Peace, and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, full of Majesty and Honour.

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. 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)

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)

 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

After Every Salah (Namaz)

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)

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)
