:salam2:

I have few questions regarding Tahajjud prayer, Salatul-Tasbih, and Ishraq prayer.

1. Can someone please explain me or provide me links to explanation of method and timings of these prayers? I found many online but not sure which one to follow and were not comprehensive.

2. Do they differ from the obligatory salaahs? If yes, how?

3. I have read that the Prophet SAW has forbidden prayer during some period of the day? Which are those period? (Like I heard 15 minutes after sunrise or something)

Please provide source to your information.

Jazakallahu Khairan for your answers.

Assalaam walaikum,

I know a little about Salat Tasbih. It gives the worshiper much much energy.
I provided the link below but pasted the answer in its entirety.

:Can you please explain the significance of Salat-ut-Tasbeeh? I searched on the hanafi messages to see if there has been a message related to this. Please also provide details of how to offer this prayer.
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Al-Salam `alaykum

It is recorded in Sunan Abi Dawud and other books of hadith that Rasulullah (sallallahu `alayhi wasallam once said to his uncle Hadrat `Abbas (r.a.) : O Abbas!O my uncle! Shall I not give you a gift? Shall I not show you something by means of which Allah Ta`ala will forgive your sins, the first and the last of them, the past and recent, the unintentional and the intentional, the small and huge, the secret and open?

Rasulullah (sallallahu `alayhi wasallam) then taught him the Salah al-Tasbih. Furthermore he advised him that it be offered daily, if possible. If not then every Friday or once a month or once a year or at least once in one's life time.

Salah al-Tasbih consists of 4 raka`at. It can be performed any time of the day or night except at the makruh times.

The following tasbih is recited seventy-five times in each rak`ah totalling 300 in the 4 raka`at.

Subhaanallaahi walhamdu lillaahi walaa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar

The method of this salah is as follows:

* After beginning the salah by saying Allah-u-Akbar recite the thana ', Sura al-Fatiha and a Sura followed by the above tasbih 15 times.
* Then go into Ruku and after reciting the usual tasbih for ruku` recite the above tasbih 10 times.
* After standing up from ruku` recite the usual Rabbana Lakal Hamd and thereafter recite the tasbih 10 times.
* Then go into Sajda and after reciting the usual tasbih for sajda recite the above tasbih 10 times.
* Then sit up from sajda and recite the tasbih 10 times between the two sajdas.
* Thereafter go into sajda again and after reciting the usual tasbih for sajda recite the above tasbih 10 times.
* Then sit after the 2nd sajda (i.e. before standing up for the second rak`ah) and recite the tasbih 10 times.

This adds up to 75 times in one rak`ah. Do the same for the remaining 4 raka`at.
