These various voluntary prayers have many functions and benefits. One of the highly recommended voluntary prayers is the Hajat prayer. It is important for Muslims to know the procedure and prayer readings for Hajat prayer.

The Hajat prayer is a voluntary prayer performed to seek all kinds of needs and desires from Allah SWT. This prayer has an important position and is recommended by the Prophet Muhammad. The Hajat prayer can be performed anytime and anywhere, as well as a manifestation of a Muslim's sincerity in conveying their requests to Allah SWT.

So, how is the procedure and prayer readings for Hajat prayer? To find out, just read the following explanation:

1. Procedure for Hajat Prayer

Prayer of need is one of the highly recommended Sunnah prayers. As mentioned earlier, the prayer of need is generally established when a Muslim has a request that he wants to fulfill.

In practice, the prayer of need is performed in the last third of the night, just like the tahajjud prayer. In addition, another similarity with the tahajjud prayer is that the prayer of need is also performed in 2 units with a similar procedure to the regular prayer.

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:

1. Perform Wudu

Before performing the prayer of need, it is required to perform ablution perfectly as usual.

2. Recite the Intention

After ablution, to perform the prayer of need, a Muslim must recite the intention for the prayer of need.

3. Perform 2 Units of Prayer

The prayer of need consists of two units. In each rakaat, in the first rakaat, after reciting Al-Fatihah, it is recommended to recite Surah Al-Kafirun. While in the second rakaat, after reciting Al-Fatihah, it is recommended to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas.

4. Reciting Dhikr and Prayer

After performing two rakaats of prayer, Muslims can continue their worship by reciting dhikr and prayers according to their needs. This dhikr can be reciting Asmaul Husna, seeking forgiveness, and asking for needs from Allah SWT.

2. Intention and Meaning of Hajat Prayer

The recitation of the intention for hajat prayer is very concise. However, besides memorizing it to be recited later, make sure to understand the meaning of the prayer recitation for hajat prayer. Here is the recitation of the intention for hajat prayer along with its meaning:

"Nawaitu sunnata shalati al-haajati rak'ataini, ma'muuman lillaahi ta'aala."

Meaning:

"I intend to perform the sunnah prayer of hajat, two units, facing the qibla, solely for the sake of Allah Ta'ala."

3. Reciting Dhikr and Salawat

After performing the prayer of need, there are still several things that a Muslim needs to do in order to have their prayer granted. The next step is to recite dhikr and make dua with the following recitations:

1. Reciting Dhikr (Recite 100 times)

"Astaghfirullah" or "Astaghfirullahi Rabbi min kulli dzanbin wa tubu ilaihi."

Meaning:

"I seek forgiveness from Allah, my Lord, for all sins and I repent to Him."

2. Reciting Sholawat (Recite 100 times)

"Allahumma shalli ala sayyidina Muhammadin shalata ar-ridhaa wardha an ash-habihi ar-ridha."

Meaning:

"O Allah, bestow peace upon our master Muhammad, a peace that is pleasing and pleasing to his companions."

4. Prayer After Hajat Prayer

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.

Those are some of the procedures and recitations for hajat prayer. Hopefully, they will be beneficial, increase knowledge about Islam, and strengthen faith as a Muslim. Amen.
