Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, I am Muhammad Ibrahim
Ahmed from Ethiopia.
My question is how many sunnah salah are
there in a single day?
As far as the sunnah salah are concerned,
there are several sunnah that we can offer
during the day.
Certain sunnah are more important as compared to
the others and the most important from among
the sunnahs that we need to offer throughout
the day.
First, we have the fardh salah which is
but natural compulsory, the five daily prayers.
These are 17 rakah but besides this from
among the sunnah salah, the most important it
is the qiyamul lail and in the qiyamul
lail, the most important it is witr and
according to the Hanafi school of thought, witr
is compulsory.
So witr is a very important salah and
you should see to that we offer the
qiyamul lail on a regular basis and I
have given an entire course and the title
of the course is qiyamul lail, the most
important sunnah after the faraidh.
So the most important sunnah after the faraidh
and in fact after the fardh salah, it
is the qiyamul lail.
So the most important sunnah after the faraidh,
it is qiyamul lail and qiyamul lail, what
is the sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad
peace and blessings be upon him?
The sunnah is to offer 8 rakah followed
by 3 rakah of witr.
So total it is 11 rakah and there
are several verses in the glorious Quran which
stress upon the importance of qiyamul lail.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, surah al-sajdah, chapter number 32,
verse number 16, تَتَجَافَ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ
رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفَ وَطَمَعَ Their sights forsake their beds
calling upon their Lord in hope and aspiration
and several other verses which talk about the
importance of qiyamul lail and the best time
to offer the qiyamul lail, it is during
the last one third of the night and
especially during this time when our Palestinian brother
and sisters, they are going through a lot
of hardships.
We should see to it that when we
get up at night for qiyamul lail, we
remember our Palestinian brother and sisters during the
last one third of the night in the
sujood.
Now besides the qiyamul lail which is very
important, after this we have the sunnah al
-mu'akkadah or sunan al-rawaatim and these
sunnah, they are the sunnah which the Prophet
peace be upon him offered it regularly, they
are not compulsory but they are recommended but
the Prophet peace be upon him offered these
sunnah regularly and the Prophet peace be upon
him, he missed the sunnah only if there
was a valid reason.
The Prophet peace be upon him also offered
the tahajjud salah, the qiyamul lail regularly, in
fact the qiyamul lail, it was compulsory upon
our beloved Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings
be upon him.
So regarding the sunan al-rawaatim or sunnah
al-mu'akkadah, they are twelve throughout the
day which are offered before and after, before
or after the five obligatory prayer.
So the most important is the sunnah salah
before the fajr salah, two rakah of sunnah
salah before the fajr obligatory prayer and our
beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said
that the one who offers two rakah of
sunnah fajr prayer, it is better than the
world and the wealth in it.
This is the importance of offering the sunnah
fajr prayer and then we have the other
sunnah al-mu'akkadah or sunan al-rawaatim,
we have four rakah before the dhuhr salah,
two rakah after the dhuhr salah, two rakah
after the maghrib salah and two rakah after
the isha salah.
So total it equals to twelve rakah throughout
the day and there's a hadith of our
beloved Prophet Muhammad may peace and blessings be
upon him which mentions regarding the one who
offers ten rakah of sunnah al-mu'akkadah
and he will enter paradise.
But this talks about all the sunnah al
-mu'akkadah that I mentioned except the four
rakah before dhuhr salah.
So it only talks about two rakah before
the dhuhr salah instead of four rakah before
the dhuhr salah.
So if a person offers ten rakah, he
will inshaAllah enter paradise.
But the best is offering twelve rakah and
our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
said that the one who offers twelve rakah
of sunnah al-mu'akkadah, the ones which
I mentioned, then he will have a house
close to the Prophet peace be upon him
in Jannah.
So this is a higher status.
We should see to it that we are
regular as far as the qiyam al-layl
is concerned and the best is to offer
eleven rakah as I mentioned and besides this
we should try our level best to be
regular as far as the sunan al-rawaatim
or sunnah al-mu'akkadah salah are concerned.
So these are twelve.
So you have eleven rakah plus twelve rakah
and then you have salah of dhuhr which
is very important.
A person can offer two rakah, four rakah,
six rakah, eight rakah.
But the sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him is to offer four
rakah of dhuhr prayer and the duration for
dhuhr prayer, it is a few minutes after
sunrise, approximately 15 minutes after sunrise until about
15 to 20 minutes before zawal or before
the time of dhuhr.
During this duration you can offer the dhuhr
prayer.
But the best time is to offer at
the midpoint during this duration.
So we have eleven rakah of qiyam al
-layl, twelve rakah of sunnah al-mu'akkadah
or sunan al-rawaatim and four rakah of
dhuhr salah, total it equals to 27 rakah.
Then besides this we have the sunan ghayr
al-rawaatim or sunnah ghayr al-mu'akkadah
and the Prophet peace be upon him missed
this a few times and even when he
missed this it wasn't for a particular reason
but he missed it.
But even this he used to try to
offer it as often as possible.
And these are ten, two rakah after dhuhr
salah, four rakah before asr salah, two rakah
before maghrib salah and two rakah before isha
salah.
So total it equals to ten and our
beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said
that the one who offers these ten rakah
of sunnah ghayr al-mu'akkadah then he
will be safe from the torment of hellfire.
So these are as far as the daily
sunnah salah are concerned.
Besides this we have for example offering two
rakah after you perform wudhu, we have offering
two rakah when you enter the masjid which
is called as tahiyyatul masjid.
So generally if you enter the masjid and
you do not offer any salah, so you
should see to it that you offer two
rakah of tahiyyatul masjid and we have certain
salah which are the non-daily sunnah which
are based on occasions or based on certain
situations.
We have salah tul khusuf which we offer
for the solar eclipse and then we have
salah tul khusuf which we offer for the
lunar eclipse and it is a sunnah of
our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
to offer these salah during the time of
eclipse and the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam when
he used to offer this salah it used
to be long and then we have salah
tul istisqa that when there is no rain
in a particular region so the people they
gather together and they offer this salah and
the sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him is that the cloak that
a person is wearing that too after they
complete the salah to wear this cloak the
other way round to turn it and we
know at the time of the Prophet peace
be upon him they used to wear outer
cloaks.
So the sunnah is to turn this cloak
after you offer salah as an indication that
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala change the
situation there is no rain for several days
so may there be rain and we call
upon Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala asking it
to be a beneficial rain.
So this was regarding the sunnah salah that
we need to offer during the day certain
sunnah are more important as compared to the
other as I mentioned so we should see
to that we are regular as far as
offering the sunnah salah are concerned.
Offering salah is very important there are several
words in the glorious Quran which talk about
establishing regular prayer aqeemus salah aqeemus salah and
if you want to be more if you
want to be connected to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala you should offer salah with khushu
and khudu with concentration and it will bring
about satisfaction tranquility in our lives.
So I hope that answers your question.
