. Fardh
Fardh is an
Arabic world, which means compulsory or obligatory. The Five daily prayer i.e.,
Fajr, Dhuhr, 'Asr, Magrhib and 'Isha are obligatory prayers. It is a sin to
intentionally skip a Fardh Prayer. If a prayer is missed because of
forgetfulness or due to some unavoidable circumstances, then offering the missed
Prayer as soon as possible will rectify this mistake.
2. Sunnah
The Holy
Prophet, peace be upon him, offered extra Raka'at of Prayer in addition to
those of Fardh Prayers. These are called Sunnah Prayers. It is considered
necessary by all jurists to offer these prayers. The willful neglect of Sunnah
Prayers is censurable in the sight of Allah.
Following
are the Sunnah Prayers:
a. Two Rak'at of Sunnah Prayer should be
offered before the Fardh Prayer of Fajr. However, if a person joins the
congregation without having offered Sunnah due to circumstances beyond his
control, he can offer these after the Fardh prayer.
b. Four Rak'at of Sunnah Prayer before Fardh
and two Rak'at after the Fardh in Dhuhr Prayer. In case one is unable to
perform four Rak'at Sunnah before the Fardh in Dhuhr Prayer, one should offer
these after the congregational Fardh Prayer. (Note: Followers of Hanfi school
of thought offer two Sunnat while some other Muslims offer four Sunnat after
Fardh in Dhuhr Prayer.)
c. Two Rak'at of Sunnah after the Fardh of
Maghrib Prayer.
d. Two Rak'at of Sunnah after the Fardh of
'Isha Prayer.
3. Wajib
Wajib
prayers are necessary and willful neglect is considered sinful. However, if
someone misses any of these due to unavoidable circumstances, Qadha (make-up of
missed prayer) is not required.
The
following are Wajib Prayers:
a. Three Rak'at of Vitr after 'Isha
b. Two Rak'at of Eidul-Fitr and Two Rak'at
of Eidul-Adha
c. Two Rak'at are offered while performing
the Tawaaf of K'aba.
4. Nawafil
Nawafil
plural form of an Arabic word Nafl which means voluntary or optional prayer.
Following
are some of the Nawafil Prayers:
a. Eight Rak'at of Tahajjud
b. Two Rak'at after the four/two Rak'at of
Sunnah at the end of Dhuhr Prayer
c. Four Rak'at before Fardh of 'Asr Prayer
And 'Isha Prayer (also called as Sunnah e Ghair Muaqkedah)
d. Two Rak'at after the two Rak'at at the
end of Maghrib Prayer
e. Two or Four Rak'at of Ishraaq Prayer
f. Two Rak'at offered when one enters a
mosque
g. Two Rak'at offered when seeking blessing
from God Almighty
h. Two Rak'at offered as Salat-ul-Hajaat
i. Two Rak'at offered as Thanksgiving
Prayer
One may
offer as many Nawafil Prayers as one wish. However, Nawafil should not be
offered during the forbidden times for Prayers. Nawafil should not be offered
between 'Asr and Maghrib Prayer. It is preferable to offer Nawafil Prayers at
home rather than in a mosque. However, it is matter of personal choice and
there is no compulsion in this matter.
