Thankfulness Prayer: Difference between revisions

'''Thankfulness Prayer''' or '''Shukr Prayer''' (Arabic: {{ia|صلاة الشکر}}) is a [[recommended prayer]] performed to thank and express gratitude to [[God]]. Thankfulness Prayer does not have a special form, time or conditions and is performed as a normal "two [[rak'a]] prayer". Like other recommended prayers, it can be performed sitting, standing, walking, inside a vehicle, etc. But, it is better to be performed standing.  

:"When you are blessed by a [[blessing]] of God, perform two rak'as of prayer. In the first rak'a, recite [[Qur'an 2]] (Sura al-Fatiha) and then [[Qur'an 112]] (Sura al-Ikhlas) and in the second rak'a, recite Sura al-Fatiha first and then recite [[Qur'an 109]] (Sura al-Kafirun). In [[ruku']] and [[sajda]] of the first rak'a say, "al-hamd-u lillah shukr-an wa hamd-an" (Arabic: {{ia| اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ شُکْراً شُکْراً وَ حَمْداً}}) (praise belongs to God, such a praise and gratitude); and, in ruku' and sajda of the second rak'a, say, "al-hamd-u lillah al-ladhi-stajab-a du'a-'i wa a'tani mas'alati" (Arabic: {{ia|اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِی اسْتَجَابَ دُعَائِی وَ أَعْطَانِی مَسْأَلَتِی}}) (praise belongs to God who fulfilled my [[du'a]] and granted me my request).
