SALATUL TAUBAH
The prayer of penitence. Abu Bakr reports: "I heard the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallamsaying: 'Allah forgives the man who commits a sin (then feels ashamed),purifies himself, offers a prayer and seeks His forgiveness.' Then he recitedthe 'ayyah: 'And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgivesins except Allah? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did. Thereward of such will be forgiveness from their Lord, and gardens underneathwhich rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever- a bountiful reward forworkers."' [al-'lmran: 135-136]. This is related by Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i,Ibn Majah, al-Baihaqi, and at-Tirmizhi who calls it hasan. At-Tabarani records in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, with a hasan chain, from Abuad-Darda' that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "Whoever makeswudu' and perfects the wudu' and then stands and prays two rak'at or fourrak'at, obligatory or non-obligatory, and perfects therein his ruku' and sujjudand then asks for Allah's forgiveness, he will be forgiven."

SALATUL HAJAH

Then he (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained the taught the way to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day, if you can not pray once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime (Abu’Dawood & Tirimzi).This salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at a time and can be read in any part of the day and night besides Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset makrooh times, keeping in mind the forbidden times for performing Salat (namaaz).

SALAHTUL ISTIKHARA

That is best for you if ye Performance of the Juma'h prayer( two rakah) is only allowed in the Congregational Mosques where, Muslims congregate and from where the Imam gives them advice and spiritual insights.
The tirne for the Juma'h prayer is the time of the Dhuhr prayer, although, some Muslim jurists and scholars are of the opinion that it is permissible to perform it before the sun reaches its zenith.
