How To Pray Tasbeeh Namaz or Salatul Tasbih or Salat-Ul-Tasbih or Tasbih Prayer

Benefits of Salat Ul Tasbih or Namaz Tasbih

There is a hadith about salatul tasbih in which, Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said to his uncle (his father’s brother), Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):

“O uncle, shall I not give you, shall I not grant you, shall I not award you, shall I not show you mercy? When you perform ten specific actions, Allah will forgive your sins — those of the future and the past, the new and the old, those you committed unknowingly and those you committed knowingly, the big and the small, the hidden and the open.”

The Prophet (PBUH) then explained and taught him the method of performing Salatul Tasbih. He further said:

“If you can, pray this Salah once a day. If you cannot, then once every Friday. If that is not possible, then once a month. If even that is not possible, then once a year — and if you cannot do even that, then at least once in your lifetime.” Read More »

Lailatul Qadr – The Night of Power, Signs and It’s Significance

On the 27th of Ramadan, the Holy Quran was sent down from Loh-E-Mahfooz (the Preserved Tablet) to the earth. Messenger of ALLAH (Blessings of Allah and peace be on him) told us to search for Shab-e-Qadr on the odd-numbered nights, in the last ten days of Ramadan. So, the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night of Ramadan could be Lailatul Qadr.

It’s further mentioned in Sahih Muslim, Vol No. 2, in the Book of Fasting, Hadith No. 2635, that the Prophet said, “On the night of Lailatul Qadr, the moon will appear like a plate towards the fag end of the month.”

Allah (SWA) Says in tQur’an 97: 1-5; “verily! We have sent it (Quran) down on the Night of Decree (Lailatul-Qadr). And what will make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (i.e. Gabriel) by Allaah’s Permission with all Decrees, Peace! until the appearance of dawn.” Read More »

Quran Reading with Tajweed – Learn Quran Recitation

Literally, ‘tajweed‘ means improvement and perfection. If you do something with tajwid it means you are trying to do it with the utmost quality and in the most perfect way possible. The term Quran reading with tajweed is used to refer to the science concerned with correct recitation and pronunciation of the Qur’anic words and verses. The relationship is clear between the literal meaning of the word and its technical usage; the literal meaning revolves around perfecting an action or a performance, which is the recitation of the Qur’an as far as the science of Tajwid is concerned.

After the rapid spread of Islam in its early centuries, especially among non-Arabs, Muslim scholars deemed it necessary to put down a set of rules that serve as a reference for the Qur’an learners. So, Tajweed has been the reference for people who wished to recite the Qur’an in a correct manner. This, however, does not deny the fact that the Qur’an cannot be learned independently, without the assistance of a skilled teacher. The unique isnad-based system of learning Qur’an continued to be the recognized way for teaching students how to recite the Qur’an and for training them on Tajwid. In the isnad-based system, a student recites the whole Qur’an by heart, from the beginning to the end, fulfilling the rules of Tajwid to a certified Qur’an teacher, and then the student is certified by the teacher to be qualified to recite and teach the Qur’an. The certificate is called ijazah (license). A typical ijazah lists the teachers of the granting sheikh (the isnad or sanad , an unbroken chain of teachers that goes back to the Prophet). Read More »
