Jalsa — Sitting between prostrations
Jalsaالْجَلْسَة
OptionalSitting briefly between two prostrations — suspended between two moments of greatest closeness to Allah. In this pause, you ask for everything.
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَاجْبُرْنِي وَارْفَعْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي
Allahumma ighfir li, warhamni, wa 'afini, wajburni, warfa'ni, wahdini, warzuqni.
O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, keep me well, restore me, raise my status, guide me, and provide for me.
Why This Matters
In the sitting between the two prostrations, you ask Allah for everything: forgiveness, mercy, health, healing, elevation, guidance, and sustenance — seven total gifts between two acts of prostration.
