Q: How should sujud-ul-shukr (Prostration of Thankfulness to Allah) be performed? When is it Mustahab (desirable) to be performed? In addition, what is the Du`a' (Supplication) to be said in it? Please provide us with a detailed and complete clarification.
A: Sujud-ul-Shukr is enjoined to be performed by a person whenever they are blessed with a grace that they waited and longed for, or when they get rid of a distress or a misfortune that afflicted them or was about to do so. In such cases, it is Sunnah (a commendable act) that the concerned person makes one Sujud (prostration) in which they are to glorify Allah and thank Him. Finally, Wudu' (ablution) is not a condition for the validity of Sujud-ul-Shukr.
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
