How to Perform Salatul Hajat – The Prayer of Need

The Prophet says about the hajat prayer through which the servant seeks refuge in Allah for the fulfilment of his/her wishes:

"Whoever wishes anything from Allah, let him/her make ablution properly first, and do two units of prayers afterwards. Then call Allah's benediction to the Prophet, and finally say the following prayer: "There is no god but Allah, the Clement, and the Gentle. Praise be to Allah, the Master of the heavens. And praise be to Allah, the Lord of the universe.
