Knowledge of Salatul Hajat

Muslims may choose to pray Salatul Hajat when they have urgent needs or wants; it is not one of the daily prayers that must be offered.

The Arabic word "Hajat" means "need" or "necessity," and this prayer is so titled because it is repeated with the serious aim of pleading with Allah to grant one's particular desire or need.

The act of asking the Divine for help and direction is incredibly intimate and spiritual.

لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ الحَلِيمُ الكَرِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ العَظِيمِ ، الحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِيْنَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ ، وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ ، وَالْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرّ،ٍ وَالسَّلامَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ ،لاَ تَدَعْ لِيْ ذَنْباً إِلاَّ غَفَرْتَهُ، وَلاَ هَمَّاً إِلاَّ فَرَّجْتَهُ، وَلاَ حَاجَةً هِيَ لَكَ رِضاً إِلاَّ قَضَيتَهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ

"There is no god but Allah the Clement and Wise. There is no god but Allah the High and Mighty. Glory be to Allah, Lord of Tremendous Throne. All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I ask you (O Allah) everything that leads to your mercy, and your tremendous forgiveness, enrichment in all good, and freedom from all sin. Do not leave a sin of mine (O Allah), except that you forgive it, nor any concern except that you create for it an opening, nor any need in which there is your good pleasure except that you fulfil it, O Most Merciful!. "

After the recitation is over, bow (Ruku) and then stand up straight once more.

Second Rak'ah**:

Recite Surah Al-Fatiha, then another Surah or some verses from the Quran, in the second Rak'ah.

Go into Sujood (prostration) after the recitation of the verses, then sit up to conclude the prayer with the Tashahhud (declaration of faith) and Salam (peace).

Pour out your wants and desires, requesting His aid and direction.

Choose from a number of genuine Islamic supplications or use your own phrases.
