**Ishraq prayer

**

Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said that Allah Ta’ala says, ‘O son of Aadam, perform 4 Rakaats of Salat (Ishraaq) in the early part of the day. I shall help you in accomplishing all your responsibilities during the rest of the day.’ (Mishkaat pg.116)

In another narration of Tirmidhi, Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said, ‘He who performs Fajr Salat with Jamaat and remains seated in the same place while engaging in Dhikr until after sunrise and thereafter performs 2 Rakaats Nafil Salat, (Ishraaq), he will obtain the Thawaab of one Hajj and one Umrah.’ (Tirmidhi).

From the above Ahaadith, we learn that the number of Rakaats to be performed are 2 or 4 Rakaats, and the Mustahabb method of performing it is to remain seated in your place of Salat after Fajr and engage in Dhikr, etc. until sunrise. Then, approximately, 10-15 minutes after sunrise perform 2-4 Rakaats. ‘If a person gets occupied in some worldly activity after the Fajr Salat, and after sunrise he offers Ishraaq Salat, this will also be permissible although the reward will be less.’ (Bahishti Zewar part2 pg.30)

Q & A: Times for Ishraq and Chasht Prayers

**Awwabeen prayer

**

Salat al Awwabin can be prayed during duha time or between maghrib and `isha. According to the Reliance, Duha time “is after the sun is well up until just before the noon prayer (zuhr).” Salat al Tawba consists of two rak’ahs.
Salat al Awwabin can consist of two up to twenty rak’ahs. When I was in Syria, which is heavily Shafi’i, people tended to pray six rak’ahs of Awwabin after the maghrib prayer, in pairs of two.

Also, in the hanafi and shaafi madhabs, it is considered as 6 rakaats.
