However, there are still some specific things to consider when performing the prayer of need, such as the intention and the recommended short surahs to be recited. For more details, here is the procedure for the prayer of need that every Muslim should know:

Next, Muslims also need to recite the prayer after Hajat prayer. This prayer is important because it contains praise and request for forgiveness from Allah SWT. Here is the recitation of the prayer after completing the Hajat prayer:
"Laa ilaaha illallaahul haliimul kariim. Subhaanallaahi rabbil 'arsyil karîmil 'azhiim. Alhamdulillaahi rabbil 'aalamiin. As'aluka muujibaati rahmatik, wa 'azaa'ima maghfiratik, wal ghaniimata min kulli birrin, was salaamata min kulli itsmin."
Meaning:
"There is no god but Allah, the Most Forbearing and Most Generous. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. All praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds. I ask You for everything that brings about Your mercy, and the greatness of Your forgiveness, and the benefits of every goodness, and the safety from every sin.
5. Praying According to Desires

Finally, hajat prayer can be concluded by praying according to one's desires. Every Muslim is allowed to say a prayer, regardless of what it is, according to their wishes. To ensure that the prayer is answered, make sure to pray sincerely and believe that one day that desire will be granted by Allah SWT.
