Salam everyone! Today I'll be discussing salatul tasbeeh.
Salatul tasbeeh is a sunnah prayer and a gift the Prophet SAW passed onto the ummah. It erases your sins completely  and helps build a connection with Allah SWT.
Prophet Muhammad said this to his uncle Abbas: "Oh Uncle, shall I not give you, shall I not grant you, shall I not award you, shall I not do mercy on you; When you do ten things Allah will forgive your sins, of future and of past, new and old, those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly, big and small, hidden and revealed." Then he (PBUH) taught him the way to pray Salat ul Tasbih and said to offer this salat once a day. If not once a day then every Friday, and even if this 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 and Tirmidhi)
So we should all at least perform this salat once in a lifetime and if possible everyday. This is an important salat and as we are in the last ten days of Ramadan it would be beneficial to learn this salat now and perform it.

How to perform:

This salah is performed in four Raka'at at a time and can be offered in any part of the day and night besides the Makrooh times of sunrise and sunset. However, it is preferred before Dhuhr prayer.
The tasbih for this salah is:
"Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar"
"All Glory and Perfection is to Allah, All praise is to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest"
The goal is to recite the tasbih 300 times in four rakats with the following method.

After starting the Salah and reciting Sana, recite this tasbih 15 times
After reciting Surah Fatiha and another Surah, recite this tasbih 10 times
During Rukuh, after saying prescribed glorifications, recite the tasbih 10 times
After standing up from Rukuh, recite the tasbih 10 times
In the first Sajda after glorifications, recite the tasbih 10 times
In the Jalsa (between the Sajda) recite the tasbih 10 times
Again recite the tasbih 10 times in the second sajdah

Repeat this procedure for all four Rak'at of the salah to complete the count of the tasbih to 300. It is important to take the following considerations into mind while performing this salah:

Do not count loudly
Do not count on fingers or using a tasbih
It is recommended to count by gently pressing the fingers as a reminder
If a count is missed in any position, make up for it in the next posture
Try to keep the mind as focused on the Dhikr as possible. Slowly but eventually, the tasbih will start melting your heart during the salah, and give you an unprecedented spiritual experience
Since the tasbih is about praising Allah and His blessings, it is a good practice to keep reminding yourself of His blessings and favors as you recite the tasbih

Since it's Ramadan we should try our best to incorporate this salat into our ibadah to reap the benefits of this prayer.
InshaAllah this will benefit you all. May the final ten days we easy for us and may all of our fasts be accepted. InshaAllah.
Salam!
