How do I pray the prayer of the oppressed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no specific prayer called "Salat al-Mazloum" (Prayer of the Oppressed) in Islamic law. However, the supplication of the oppressed is answered. It is recommended for the oppressed person to perform a righteous deed before making their supplication, such as praying two rak'ahs, so that they may intercede with it to Allah the Almighty.
