Salaatul Hajaat

 

Time of performance: In time of need. Any permitted time. Number of Rakaats: 2 Rakaats

Benefits: This Salaat is performed when one is in need or in difficulty. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said that whoever is in need of something should make a perfect Wudhu and then performs 2 Rakaats namaz. After the namaz recite the praises of Allah and Durood Shareef. One may also recite any amount and any formula of praises (Tahmeed and tasbeeh) as well as any amount of Durood Shareef. Thereafter make a fervent Dua for the fulfilment of the need. This Salaat is called “Salataul Hajaat.”
