Timing: It can be performed any time, but it’s often recommended to perform it during the last third of the night.

Units: Perform 2 or more units (rakats).

Intention: Declare your intention to perform Salat al-Tawbah, seeking Allah’s forgiveness for your sins.

Recitation: Recite Surah Al-Fatihah and a shorter Surah in each unit. Pay particular attention to verses related to repentance and forgiveness.

Ruku and Sujud: Perform the usual bowing and prostration.

Sitting between Units: Sit briefly after the second unit.

Conclusion: End with the final sitting and greeting.

After the prayer:

• Seek forgiveness: Make sincere supplications (duas) seeking Allah’s forgiveness for your sins.
• Resolve to repent: Make a firm commitment to avoid future sins and strive to live a righteous life.

Remember: Salat al-Tawbah is a means of seeking Allah’s forgiveness, but it’s important to combine it with sincere repentance, avoiding future sins, and striving to live a righteous life.
