Types and virtues and importance of Nawafil
It is in Hadith Sharif that on the Day of Judgement, the obligatory prayer will be the first thing that will be counted. And then Allah will say: Look, this servant also has some nafls with which the obligations can be fulfilled. If they come out, the obligations will be fulfilled. And then after that the rest of the deeds, fasting, Zakat will be calculated. From this hadith, it is known that a man should also keep a reserve of nawafil with himself. If there is any shortcoming in the duties, then the balance should be fulfilled, the shortfall in the obligatory fasts will be made up by the post-fad fasts. In Hadith Sharif, there is a mention of twenty types of nawafil related to various needs, the details of which are listed below.
In The following, we describe the virtues of Nafli Namaz one by one.
It is mustahabb to recite two rak’ahs after each prayer as Tahiyat-ul-Wudhu. There is a hadith in Sahih Muslim that whoever performs ablution and performs ablution well and recites two rak’ahs Nawafil in such a way that his outward and inward focus is on prayer, Jannah becomes obligatory for him.
Muhammad said that when one of you enters the mosque, he should not sit until he has recited two rak’ahs. This prayer is called Tahiyat al-Masjid.
Tahajjud prayer is especially important in Nawafil. It is better to read it in the last night. This is the time of the revelation of the blessings of Allah Ta’ala. The time of Tahajjud is to wake up at night after Isha prayer and pray 2 to 8 rakats of Nafil.
On the authority of Hazrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, Muhammad said, “Whoever prays Fajr with a congregation, then sits and remembers Allah until the sun rises, and then prays 2 rak’ahs, then he will have the reward of one Hajj and one Umrah.” Will be. The prayer is called Ishraq prayer.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that Muhammad said that Chasht prayer is protected only by those who frequently turn to Allah. And this is the prayer of those who frequently turn to Allah. The number of Nawafl of Chasht is 2 to 12.
Zawal prayer 4 rakats are recited when the time of Zawal begins. It has been mentioned in Hadith Sharif that a house will be built for him who recites 4 rak’ahs (in addition to 4 rak’ahs of Sunnah Mu’aqedah) before Zuhr.
The Maghrib prayer is performed first before the time of Isha. It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that Muhammad said, “He who prays 6 rak’ahs after Maghrib and does not speak during that time, then he will be punished.” 12 years of worship will be rewarded. In another tradition, if his sins are equal to the foam of the sea, they will be forgiven.
It is narrated from Hazrat Hasan Basri, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that Muhammad said, “Whoever commits any sin, then performs ablution and performs ablution well, then goes to an open ground and prays two rak’ahs there, has committed a sin against Allah.” If he asks for forgiveness, Allah will forgive him. (Sha’b al-Ayman). If any sin is committed, one should immediately read Nafl of Al-Tawba prayer
Any need that is related to Allah Ta’ala or a servant, then the need is fulfilled by praying 2 rak’ahs. 2 rakaats of nafal are performed after performing ablution after namaz of hajj, after which salutations are recited on Hazrat Muhammad and then one asks for one’s needs.
It was usual for the Companions (Sahabah) of the Prophet and saints to give thanks to the prayer. Therefore, when a Muslim receives a blessing, it is mustahab to recite two rak’ahs of Nafl in gratitude.
Whenever Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) intended to travel, he used to pray two rak’ahs and when he returned from a journey, he would also offer 2 rak’ahs. We should also organize Nawafal while going on a journey.
During the journey, when alighting at a place of residence, it is recommended to pray two rakats of Nafil before sitting down. This Nawafil are calles Namaz Manzil.
According to Islamic jurisprudence, the prayer offered at the time of solar eclipse is called Salat al-Kusuf. It is masnaon to perform two rak’ahs in congregation at the time of solar eclipse.
The prayer that is offered at the time of lunar eclipse is called Salat al-Khosuf. At the time of lunar eclipse, the prayer is offered alone. Hazrat Abdullah bin Masoud narrated that Muhammad said, “When you see the eclipse, recite the praises of Allah, Takbeer and Tasbih, and Pray till the eclipse of the sun or moon whatever has happened is over.
Hazrat Khuzaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Harat Muhammad (PBUH) used to recite Nafl when he was in distress. In other hadiths, it has been said that the Companions of Ikram used to run towards prayer when they were in trouble. And when it was windy, Muhammad would take Tashreef to the mosque. When Hazrat Ibn Abbas (RA) was on a journey and was informed that his son had passed away, he dismounted from his camel and prayed two rak’ahs of Nafl.
When a Muslim faces the punishment of murder or is about to be killed in some way, it is recommended for him to pray 2 rakats and pray for the forgiveness of his sins.
When you do something important, take advice from Allah. Taking this advice is called Nawafil of Istikhara prayer, and it has been strongly encouraged in Hadith Sharif. This is the Duaa after reading Istikhara prayer:
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) once said to his uncle Hazrat Abbas
O Abbas! O my uncle, may I give you a donation? Let me make a reservation. Shall I not tell you a word that has ten verses? When you do this, Allah will forgive all your sins, previous and past, new and old, unintentionally and deliberately, small and big, hidden and open. . If you can, read this prayer once every day. If you can’t, then read it once on Friday. And if you can’t do it then read it once a month and if you don’t have the strength then read it once a year and if you can’t do it then read it once in your life.
If there is a famine due to lack of rain in an area, then it is mustahab for the people there to pray Istiqa prayer in congregation and pray for rain.
If you have a weak memory or forget to memorize the Quran,(Read full Quran Online) then it is recommended to pray 4 rak’ahs on Friday night. The complete method of this prayer is available in Risala Fazail Qur’an by Sheikh Hadith Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Zakaria.
