    The two prostrations for forgetfulness, known as sujud as-sahw, are performed to make up for mistakes made unintentionally during prayer due to forgetfulness or error. Sujud as-sahw is necessary when one adds or omits important acts in prayer, such as praying an incorrect number of rakahs. Sujud as-sahw can be performed either before or after the concluding tasleem. It involves making two prostrations with the intention to correct the mistake.

    Read the Passage below at least twice to understand and answer the
    questions that follows:

    SUJUD AS-SAHW: (PROSTRATIONS FOR FORGETFULNESS)


    The two prostrations for forgetfulness are normally offered to make up for the shortcomings that occur
    due to forgetfulness or error. If one omits a necessary element because of forgetfulness, validity can be
    restored by performing the prostrations of forgetfulness (sujud as-sahw), but if the omission is deliberate,
    the salah will be null and void. It is not surprising if we forget something while offering salah. Allah's
    Messenger (S.A.W. ) used to make the sujud at the end of the salah if he made a mistake in it.
    Sujud as-sahw becomes necessary when one adds or omits anything of importance to or from the acts of
    salah. Examples of additions: praying five rakahs instead of four, performing three prostrations instead of
    two , or sitting for tashahhud at the end of the first or the third rak'ah. Examples of omissions: praying
    three rakahs instead of four and performing only one sajdah instead of two. When one forgets the
    number of raka'hs, becomes doubtful whether he is in the third or the fourth rak'ah.
    Sujud as-sahw can be performed in two ways: It can be done immediately before tasleem at the end of
    the prayer, or it can be done after the tasleem. When done after completing the tashahhud before
    tasleem, we say Allaahu Akbar and then make the first sajdah (prostration), in which we recite the usual
    tasbeeh – Subhaana rabbiyal allaa - three times at least. We then say Allaahu Akbar again and return to
    the posture of jalsah, that is sitting between the two sajdahs. We say our usual du'aa (Rabbighfir-lee) in
    the jalsah. We then make the second sajdah as we have done in the first, saying Allaahu Akbar. We then
    finally say Allaahu Akbar and return to the sitting posture and do the tasleem.
    In the second form, sujud as-sahw is done in the following way: After completing the prayer with the
    tasleem, remain seated; Prostrate, saying Allaahu Akbar with the intention to amend the prayer; Raise
    your head, saying Allaahu Akbar and sit again as described above; Repeat the prostration-with the same
    words and sit again; and End the prayer with the tasleem. However, if someone leaves his place where he
    prayed before he remembers the omission or lapse, it is too late to amend it. The prayer is considered
    invalid, and he should repeat it.
    It is, however, much disliked for someone to be absentminded and heedless during prayer. So it is
    essential to try to avoid anything that may cause one's thoughts to wander during prayer. The Prophet (
    S.A.W. ) said, If a man prays two cycles of prayer without the distraction of any worldly thought, all his
    previous sins will be forgiven. (Muslim)
    Hence, when entering into prayer, you should know that you are in the Presence of Almighty Allah as you
    will be on the Day of Reckoning. When you have raised your hands and said 'AIIaahu Akbar' to start the
    prayer, then let nothing remain in your heart except His Remembrance, and let nothing be in your mind at
    the time of His Remembrance other than the Glory of Allah Most High.
