Re: Correct Rakats for namaz?

^^ Zobia, I dont think that Captain1 was saying that you are making it up. He said that according to Hanafi Fiqh, there is no Sunna b/w Asr and Maghrib Farz.

Some group of, either Maliki's or Salafi's, however performed 2 rakaats. I've been to a Mosque in Seattle area, run by Somalians and they perform 2 rakkats before Maghrib Farz

Re: Correct Rakats for namaz?

hmm…actually i didnt go to some madrassa. it was a private skool :bummer:

n about hanbali, hanfi, shafi sects I HAVE NO CLUE that wat sect i belong to. (well i never will to find out, in fact i dont think its a proper thing to have differenciation with us, muslim brother n sisters)

only thing dat matters to me is that i know i am muslim n as muslims i got gift from ALLAH SWT in a shape of Namaz. Namaz is a way dats gives assurance/guaranteed of Sawab. whereas in everyother deed their is a duality that whther ALLAH SWT is happy or unhappy. though intentions matters the most.

Re: Correct Rakats for namaz?

completely agree with fraudia here!!!

Re: Correct Rakats for namaz?

True! No sunna/nafil after asr and before magrib farz.

Correct! This is done only once at the very start of namaz, just after takbeer.

Re: Correct Rakats for namaz?

Not one person has brought up the different fiqhs and their take on what is sunnah/nafl prayers...that is probably where you saw the difference. Farz is the same all around. other fiqh/imams have used hadith/sunnah to come to a VERY valid conclusion that a certain number is fine or better...but they can be different and fine.

Re: Correct Rakats for namaz?

Technically sunnat ( as in namaz/salat ) is basically those nafal prayers which prophet :saw: reported to have read habitually. It is preffered to pray these nafal, but unlike farz prayers they are not compulsary.

^^ this is loosely what sunni believe.

Acording to shia belief Farz are the same as sunni folks. but there is no distinction/ categories of sunnat prayers. They are called nafals, and can be prayed with every numaz as much as one likes

51

this is correct now baby....

52

Hold on, so if you do not read sunnah prayers, you become a sinner?? :eek:

Re: Correct Rakats for namaz?

On top of all this there isnt even a set time for maghrib where i live ek local masjid k imam ne calender diye n its saying 5-15am whereas a local tv channel is doing azaan aftr sehri at about 4-30am …:crying:
main kya karoun???

The word “sunnah” generally means the example or practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we talk about sunnahPrayers*, *we mean those ritual Prayers (salah](http://www.islamonline.net/english/introducingislam/Worship/Prayers/article02.shtml)) that the Prophet prayed in addition to the *fard *(obligatory) Prayers. They are optional, but it is highly recommended to perform these Prayers. Following the example of the Prophet brings its own reward, and further, if one has any missing fard Prayers on Judgment Day, the missing Prayers will be made up with the sunnah Prayers that were performed.
The sunnah *mu’akkadah *(confirmed sunnah) are those optional Prayers that the Prophet always performed. There are other optional Prayers that he performed less regularly, such as the one before Asr. This accounts for the variance in the number of *rakahs *before certain Prayers.
**Fajr (Subh) (Dawn Prayer): **Two *rak`ahs *of sunnah before the *fard *Prayers

rest read here Islam Online

regarding zobia’s post, two sunnah before maghrib prayer are non mu’akkadah.

it is highly recommended to perform Witr, as it was practiced by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he encouraged Muslims to practice it. However, it is not compulsory to offer Witr prayer according to the majority of scholars. Only Imam Abu Hanifah sees that it is obligatory or wajib (but it is according to him less in obligation than the other five daily prayers which are fard). It is rather a confirmed Sunnah that Muslims are highly recommended to offer.

Shedding more light on your question, we’d like to cite for you the following fatwa issued by Sheikh `Atiyyah Saqr, former head of Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, in which he states:

“Imam Abu Hanifah is of the opinion that Witr prayer is wajib (obligatory). As for the majority of Muslim scholars, they opine that Witr is a highly recommended Sunnah. So, this means that performing Witr is required in all Madh-habs (Schools of Fiqh), but the degree of this requirement is stronger according to Abu Hanifah than according to other scholars. Also, it indicates that negligence of performing Witr prayer, according to Imam Abu Hanifah, renders one (the negligent person) accountable before Allah for his negligence. He based his ruling on the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who is reported to have said: “Witr is a right that a servant of Allah owes to his Lord, so, the one who does not perform Witr does not belong to me, i.e., doesn’t follow my sunnah.”

According to other scholars, neglecting Witr is not like neglecting the prescribed (obligatory) prayers, i.e., neglecting it will not go to the extent that it will render one accountable before Allah in the same way as he will be held accountable for neglecting the prescribed (obligatory) prayers. Yet, it is highly recommended because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to observe it. But it is not obligatory like the five obligatory prayers. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) answered the one who asked him how many prayers Almighty Allah made obligatory on him saying: “Allah has prescribed five prayer in the day and the night.” The questioner said, “Am I obliged to do more?” He said: “No, unless you perform supererogatory prayers.” The man went away saying: “By Allah, I will not increase or decrease beyond these obligatory prayers.” Then, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “He would succeed if he did what he said.” (Reported by Muslim)”
