Conclude Your Salah with Supplication and Glorification of Allah
Recommended as a Supererogatory Act of Worship
1. Beg Allah’s Forgiveness three times and then say,
“Allahumma Antas-Salamu, wa minkas-Salamu, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (O Allah, You are As-Salam [the One Free of all imperfections] and from You comes Salam [peace, safety, and security]. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor).”
(Narrated by Muslim)
Upon finishing your Salah, supplicate to Allah and seek His Forgiveness. Following are some of the invocations and words of praise to be said after Salah, which have been authentically reported from our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him):
2.
Allahumma a`inni `ala dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni `ibadatika (O Allah, help me to remember You, give thanks to You, and worship You in the best way).”
(Narrated by Abu Dawud)
3. Glorify Allah by saying “Subhan Allah” (Glory be to Allah), praise Him by saying “Al-hamdu lillah” (all praise is due to Allah), and magnify Him by saying “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is Greater) each thirty three times, then complete one hundred by saying “La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa huwa `ala kulli shay’in qadir”
(There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Sovereignty and to Him is due all praise, and He is Able to do all things).
(Based on a hadith narrated by Muslim)
