There are two types of Salat, that are :
a) Fard or obligatory
Salat: Every believer is ordered by Allah to offer five obligatory prayers in a
day. Failure to observe any one of the five obligatory prayers is a serious and
punishable sin.
b) Nafl prayer This is a
voluntary prayer which the Prophet (pbuh) observed before or after Fard at
special and isolated occasions. It also includes those which he encouraged
Muslims to pray.
The Nafl prayer can be divided into three categories:
The Nafl prayer can be divided into three categories:
(i) Sunnat Muakkadah
(compulsory). That is those which are emphasized by the holy Prophet (pbuh) and
offered regularly by him before or after the Fard prayer.
(ii) sunnat Ghair Muakkadah (optional). That is those offered only occasionally by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
(iii) Nafl Prayer (extra).
This is an extra prayer. There is a reward for praying it an no sin for leaving
it. It can be offered at any isolated instance according to the time and
capacity of the believer. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) encouraged the believers to
pray Nafl to help make up for any minor omissions or other defects in the
obligatory prayer.
