The prayer of repentance itself is a sunnah prayer. That is performed when a person wants to ask God for forgiveness for all sins and mistakes that he has committed during his entire life. Generally, people perform this prayer in conjunction with nasuha repentance

This prayer is also known as the istighfar prayer or the prayer for forgiveness. It brings a very extraordinary wisdom for people who perform.

The Salatul tauba prayer means the prayer asking for forgiveness and repentance from Allah SWT. This prayer is performed in two rakats and can be performed at any time.

Furthermore, the most afdhal time to perform the sunat tauba prayer is when you get up to perform the Tahajud prayer. At that time, we feel closer to Allah SWT the words of the Prophet SAW where he said:

“Anyone who has ever committed a sin, has to perform ablution and then establish prayers and ask for forgiveness from Allah SWT. Allah will surely accept his request.”

Niat Salatul Tauba

Conclusion

In conclusion, let us not procrastinate in repenting until our hearts are filled with the rust of sin and turn black. All reprimands and advice will be increasingly difficult to accept. The heart is also getting harder to walk back on the straight path and life is getting more chaotic.

Therefore, it is better to act early by repenting so that our sins are reduced. It is true that man does not run away from committing sin but the extent to which we regret and act on the matter. Whereas Rasulullah SAW who did not commit any sin but still performed the Salatul Tauba for 2 rakata every night until his legs were weak.
