Thankfulness Prayer: Difference between revisions

centered pull quote|"When you are bestowed a divine [[blessing]], perform two rak'as of prayer. In the first rak'a, recite [[Qur'an 1]] (Sura al-Fatiha) and then [[Qur'an 112]] (Sura al-Ikhlas) and in the second rak'a, recite Qur'an 1 first and then recite [[Qur'an 109]] (Sura al-Kafirun). In [[ruku']] and [[sajda]] of the first rak'a say:{{-}} "Al-ḥamd-u li-Allah shukr-an shukr-an wa ḥamd-an" (Arabic: {{ia| اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ شُکْراً شُکْراً وَ حَمْداً}}) (All praise, thankfulness and gratitude belong to Allah);{{-}} and, in ruku' and sajda of the second rak'a, say:{{-}} "Al-ḥamd-u li-Allah al-ladhi-stajab-a du'a-'i wa a'ṭani mas'alati" (All praise belongs to God who fulfilled my [[du'a]] and met my request).{{-}} (Arabic: {{ia|اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِی اسْتَجَابَ دُعَائِی وَ أَعْطَانِی مَسْأَلَتِی}})

In some sources, it is instructed to recite the du'a of "al-ḥamd-u li-Allah shukr-an shukr-an li-Allah wa ḥamd-an" (Arabic: {{ia|اَلحَمدُ لِلهِ شُکراً شُکراً لله وَ حَمداً}}) (All praise belongs to [[Allah]], gratitude and praise belong to Allah) in ruku' and sajda of both rak'as and to recite the du'a of "al-ḥamdu li-Allah al-ladhi qaḍa ḥajati wa a'ṭani mas'alati" (Arabic: {{ia|اَلحمدُ للهِ الَّذی قَضا حَاجَتی وَ أعطانی مَسأَلَتی}}) (All praise belongs to the Allah Who fulfilled my need and met my request.) after the end of the [[prayer]].

Also, it is [[recommended]] to recite du'a of [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] which is mentioned in ''[[Sahifat al-Sajjadiyya]]'' after the Thankfulness Prayer.

In addition to this prayer mentioned in [[Shi'a]] sources, [[Sunni]]s too have transmitted a prayer from the [[Prophet (s)]], reporting that after the [[conquest of Mecca]] due to thank God for the victory, the Prophet (s) performed four "two-rak'a prayers" as a Thankfulness Prayer. Thus, some of the [[companions]] followed him (a) and performed this prayer after their victories.
