When a believer has a specific desire or is looking for a solution to a problem he is facing, it is highly recommended to pray 12 rakats with wishes every 2 rakats. But praying 2 rakats is enough.
As reported by the website of the Ministry of Religion, the method of performing the Hajjat prayer is actually not much different from the Sunnah prayer in general, but there is a fundamental difference, i.e. between the intention and the prayer.
In Nihayatuz Zain (Shaykh M. Nawawi Banten, Nihayatuz Zain, [Beirut, Darul Qutb al-Ilmiyah: 2002], Print I, page 103), Shaykh Nawawi al-Bantani mentions that those who are facing hardships, seek their benefit. They should feel their deen and world, suffering and pray.
Following are the ways to perform Hajj prayer:
1. Intention to pray
I pray the Sunnah of Hajj, two rakats for the perfection of Allah Almighty
Ushalli sunnatal hajati rak’taini ad’an lillahi ta’ala.
“I have deliberately performed two rak’ats of Sunnah prayer in cash for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.”
2Reciting short Surahs after reading Surah Al-Fatiha (recommended for reading Surah Al-Ikhlas and Ayat Kursi).
3. After finishing the Salat, it is recommended to recite the supplications and supplications as follows:
Holy is He who clothed Himself with glory and spoke of it, Glorious is He who receives glory and is honored by it, Glorious is He who is mighty and generous, Glorious is He who is tall. By the majesty of Your throne and the supreme mercy of Your Book, and in Your Most Great Name and Your Most High Grandfather, and Your perfect and simple words which none righteous or immoral can surpass, that you pray to our Lord Muhammad and Ali. The family of our master Muhammad
Subhanal-Ladji Labisal-‘Izza wa Qala Bihi. Subhanal-Ladji Ta’atthafa Bil-Majdi wa Takarrama Bihi. .Subhana dziil-‘izzi wal-kirami, subhana djith-thawli as’aluka bimu’aqidil-‘izzi min ‘rsika wa muntahar-rahimati min kitabika wa bismical-a’dhami wa zaddikatil-qatil-qatil-qatil-qatil-qatil-‘ -Lati la yuzawijuhunna birrun wa la fajirun an tushalliya ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaAli Sayyidina Muhammadin.”Blessed is he who wears glory and speaks with it. Blessed is he who shows mercy and is exalted because of it. Blessed is the owner of majesty and glory. Blessed is the owner of gifts.I ask You to bless Sayyidina Muhammad and his family with the noble outline of Your Arsh, the peak of mercy in Your Book and Your Great Name, Your High Glory, Your Perfect Word and the Common which cannot be surpassed by obedience. evil servants”
After this, it is also recommended to read the supplications of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as narrated by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim.
There is no god but Allah, He is the Forbearing, the Most Generous, there is no god but Allah, He is the Most High, the Great. The Lord of the Great Throne is Allah the Great, and all praise is due to the Lord of the worlds.
La ilaha illallahul-halimul-karimu, laha illallahul-‘Aliyul-Azimu subhanallahi rabbil-‘arsil-‘adhimi wal-hamdulillahi rabbil-alamina.
“There is no god but Allah, the Merciful and the Generous. There is no god but Allah, the Exalted and the Great. Glory be to God, Lord of the Glorious Throne. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”
Furthermore, those who have specific desires may continue reciting the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad as narrated by Imam at-Tirmidhi:
O Allah, I seek from You the cause of Your mercy, the means of Your forgiveness, the spoiling of all righteousness and protection from all sin. You left no sin for me except to relieve him, and there was no anxiety but you redeemed him. And there was no need for which You were satisfied, You fulfilled it, O Most Merciful.Allaumma inni as’aluka mujibati rahmatika, wa aja’ima magfiratika, wa-ghanimata min kulli birin, was-salamata min kulli ismin la tada’ li djanban illa gafartahu, wa lahamtan illaam gafartahu, wa lahamtan hamham ridlan illa qdlaitah ya arhamar-rahimina .
“There is no god but Allah, the Greatest and the Most Glorious. Glorified be Allah, the Keeper of the Great Throne. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Universe. I ask for guidance of charity according to Your mercy, command of Your forgiveness, opportunities to achieve as much good as possible and protection from all sinsLet not one sin remain in me, but forgive me. Don’t leave me in trouble, so set me free. Do not forsake me who desires according to Your pleasure, so fulfill my desire. O Merciful God.”
After saying these duas, the final step is to specifically pray to Allah to grant His particular matter or wish. God bless you.
