Pursuance of Namaz
1144.
It is Mustahab that after offering the prayers, one should engage
oneself in reciting Duas, and reading from the Holy Qur’an. It is better
that before he leaves his place, and before his Wudhu, or Ghusl or
Tayammum becomes void, he should recite Duas facing Qibla.
It is not necessary that Duas be recited in Arabic, but it is better to
recite those supplications, which have been given in the books of Duas.
The Tasbih of Hazrat Fatima-tuz-zahra (peace be on her) is one of those
acts, which have been emphasized. This Tasbih should be recited in the
following order: Allahu Akbar, 34 times; Alhamdulillah, 33 times;
Subhanallah, 33 times; Subhanallah can be recited earlier than
Alhamdulillah, but it is better to maintain the said order.
1145. It is Mustahab that after the prayers a person performs a
Sajdah of thanksgiving, and it will be sufficient if one placed his
forehead f the ground with that intention. However, it is better that he
should say Shukran lillah or Al’afa 100 times, or three times, or even
once. It is also Mustahab that whenever a person is blessed with His
bounties, or when the adversities are averted, he should go to Sajdah for
Shukr, that is, thanksgiving.
