Salaatul Taubah

 

Time of performance: When the need arises, providing that it is not performed during any one of the prohibited times.

Number of Rakaats: 2 Rakaats

Benefits: Hazarat Ali (R.A) narrates that Hazarat Abu Bakr` (R.A) (who is certainly truthful, sincere of speech) narrated to me that he heard the Prophet (Peace be upon him) say, ” Whoever commits a sin and then gets up, performs Wudhu, and offers Salaah, and seeks the forgiveness of Allah, Allah in any case, forgives him”. After it The Prophet (Peace be upon him) recited the verse of the Qur’an: and those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins who forgiveth sins save Allah only? – And will not, knowingly, repeat the wrong they did.
