Today, we will discuss about a special volunteery prayers known as ” Salat Al Tasbih ” that prophet Muhammad peace be upon him advised to his companions every time.
This prayer is one of the most rewarding voluntary prayers in Islam. It is a special act of worship that the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, specifically taught his uncle, Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib, as a means of seeking forgiveness and increasing spiritual rewards. Here are some of the major benefits of performing Salat Al-Tasbih, especially in Ramadan:
In Another Hadith, prophet peace be upon him said, “When you do it, Allah will forgive your sins, the first and the last of them, the old and the new, those done by mistake and those done intentionally, the small and the great, the secret and the open.” (Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah)
This means that no matter how many sins a person has committed, if they sincerely perform this prayer, Allah will forgive them.
In Ramadan, when Allah’s mercy is multiplied, the impact of this forgiveness is even greater!
As this prayers involves 3 hundreds repetitions of glorifying Allah, which brings a deep sense of peace to the heart.
It helps a person detach from worldly worries and focus on the remembrance of Allah.
It strengthens the bond between the believer and Allah, filling the heart with gratitude and humility.
Especially in the last part nights this prayer can help a person feel closer to Allah and experience Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Power) with a pure heart.
As prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said. Whoever draws near to Allah by performing any virtuous deed in this month shall receive the reward of performing an obligatory act at any other time, and whoever performs an obligatory act in this month shall receive the reward of seventy obligations at any other time.” (Ibn Khuzaymah) ,Thus, performing one this prayer in Ramadan is equivalent to doing it 70 times outside Ramadan! This prayer is a protection from Hellfire and an opportunity for Paradise (Jannah). The more one glorifies Allah, the closer they get to Him, and the Prophet ﷺ emphasized that those who constantly remember Allah will be among the successful ones in the Hereafter. (ALLAH says in Surah Al-Anfal , verse:45) “Remember Allah much so that you may be successful.”
The Prophet ﷺ advised his beloved uncle to pray Salat Al-Tasbih daily, but if that’s not possible, then:
Once a week. or,
Once a month. or,
Once a year.
At least once in a lifetime

Salat al-Tasbih is a special voluntary prayer (known as Nafl) taught by the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, as a means of seeking forgiveness, increasing rewards, and removing sins. It is unique because it includes the frequent recitation of a special Tasbih (glorification of Allah) 300 times throughout the prayer.
This prayer is highly recommended, especially in Ramadan, as it is a month of forgiveness and spiritual purification. Since rewards are multiplied in this blessed month, performing Salat al-Tasbih in Ramadan can bring immense benefits.
Although Salat al-Tasbih is not mentioned directly in the Quran, the importance of Tasbih (glorifying Allah) is emphasized in many verses:
Surah Taha (Verse Number:130):
“So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting…”
Surah Al-Ahzab (Verse Number :41 to 42):
“Oo you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance. And exalt Him morning and evening.”

In Hadith, The Prophet ﷺ said that performing Salat Al-Tasbih results in the forgiveness of:
Past and present sins.
Major and minor sins.
Hidden and open sins

The practice of Salat al-Tasbih is based on a hadith narrated by the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him
Once The Prophet peace be upon him said to his uncle, Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib:
“Oo Abbaas! O my uncle! Shall I not grant you something? Shall I not bestow upon you? Shall I not tell you something? When you do it, Allah will forgive your sins, the first and the last of them, the old and the new, those done by mistake and those done intentionally, the small and the great, the secret and the open?”
He then instructed him to pray Salat al-Tasbih and explained its method. (Reported by Abu Dawood, Ibni Majah, and Tirmidhi – graded Hasan by scholars like Al-Albani)
It is narrated that a man once came to a pious scholar complaining about the burdens of his sins and the heaviness he felt in his heart. The scholar advised him:
“There is a special prayer that was given to the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ, and it guarantees forgiveness of all sins, no matter how great. If you seek Allah’s mercy, then perform Salat al-Tasbih with sincerity and humility.”
The man followed this advice, and after completing the prayer, he felt a deep sense of peace and relief. Later, he saw a dream in which he was shown a beautiful book of deeds, with pages glowing with light. He was told: “This is the result of your Salat al-Tasbih.”
