What additional prayers are there?

In the name of God the Merciful. The second pillar of the great Islam is the fulfillment of the five-fold prayer. From the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him) it becomes clear how important prayer is for the believer, he also pointed to the merits of namaz and how it affects the life of a Muslim. This is indicated by the words of Allah Almighty himself in the Quran. Observance of a fivefold prayer is a duty of a Muslim, and abandonment is unbelief, according to the authentic hadeeth that Imm Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Abu Dawood and others brought in their books. And this is the opinion of Ahli Sunn on this issue.

In addition to the obligatory prayers, in Islam there is alsoadditional prayers, for which a great reward is promised from the Lord of the Worlds. The abandonment of such prayers is not considered a great sin, but this is a blameworthy affair in religion. To know what kind of additional prayers, types and their time in general, you need to look at the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him). In it everything is very clear and clearly explained.

Ratibat prayer

The first kind of additional prayers thatdeserves special attention - these are the ratibats. About their merits The Prophet (peace be upon him) in his authentic hadith said that their alignment will cause the construction of a house in paradise. There are 12 rak'aats during the day ritabat namaz. A special sunnah is to read two rak'aats voluntarily before the morning compulsory prayer. Prayer is read in a shortened form, and it does not take a very long time. The Messenger of Allaah (peace be on him) said that this prayer is better than this world and everything that is in it. Therefore, it should not be neglected.

Next come 4 rak'aats before lunch prayer and twoafter. Following the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him), one should read any other surah in each rakahat after Fatih when reading these ratibats. Also these additional prayers include building after the sunset and evening prayers. They are read in 2 rak'aats, in general it will be 12. To follow the Prophet was full, you should try to stand these prayers. According to the hadith from the Messenger of Allah, these additional prayers on Sunnah are read at home, so that the Lord of the Worlds will give a share of the blessing to the believer's house.

The night prayer of Tahadjut

Almost a year Tahajout - a prayer for the Prophet (peacehim) and his companions - was compulsory. Then, by His mercy, Allah sends down surah, in which he makes the nightly extra prayer voluntary. However, all the same, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) himself was constant in his alignment and encouraged his companions to this. There is a certain hadith, where the Prophet (peace be on him) informs about the descent of the Gracious Allah to the near heaven. This happens in the last third of the night, and at this time all prayers of believers are accepted.

Additional prayer at night you need to read 2rak'aat and aloud, but not in a very loud voice. The Prophet (peace be upon him) loved a long stand, practically did not begin to grow light. I read long surahs, carefully pronouncing all the sounds and pausing. He said that after five obligatory prayers, Tahajout goes according to the reward. The righteous predecessors of this community loved to spend the nights in prayer, because they had a completely different understanding of religion. They understood the true value of this prayer.

Witr namaz

Witr - this is what ended the nightadditional prayer. The name is because of the oddness of the rakaat, they can be from 1 to 11. The Messenger of Allah said that reading Witr is a duty, and whoever leaves it is not from his community. That's how much he was demanding of his commission. It is necessary to add du'a kunut to this additional prayer. However, there are several opinions about when to add it. The Hanafis read the kunut in Vitra every day, the Shafi'is in the second half of Ramadan.

The distinction of this prayer is that it containsspecial sequence. There are additional suras in prayer, as indicated by the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Thus, in the first rak'ahat after Fatihi, al-A'la is read, and in the second and third al-Kafirun and al-ihlyas. Although the reading of other parts of the Koran is also permitted.

The Prophet strictly forbade going to bed, notafter reading Witr Salat. He himself woke up for the night prayer and ended his prayer with one rakatha of prayer Witr. A Muslim who does this will receive a lot of good for following the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him).

Namaz spirit

This type of prayer is recited after the sunhas already risen and until the moment when it will be at its zenith. The Spirit is prayer at a time when the person is most immersed in worldly affairs. The remembrance of Allah at such a time is a very rewarding good deed, and the reward for this is great. In some traditions from the Prophet (peace be on him) it is narrated that Allah will forgive the man who read the prayer of the spirit, even if sins are like froths in the sea. And in another hadith it is said that in Paradise there is a gate of the Spirit-Namaz, and through them those who were constant in it will enter into paradise.

Strict indications of the number of rakaaths are not, because it isvoluntary prayer. However, it is reported that the Messenger of Allah did 2, 4, and sometimes 8 rak'aats. Everyone chooses what he wants and can read, because he will receive the award himself. The fulfillment of this prayer becomes the reason for Allah's contentment, perhaps because of the spirit of the servant enters paradise.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that he who readsmorning prayer with the team, and then stay in the mosque, remembering Allah, and so long as the sun is not high, then he will read the prayer of the spirit, he will receive the reward, both for full-fledged umra and hajj. And this is a great opportunity for Muslims!

Prayer tarawih in the holy month of Ramadan

The holy month of Ramadan is a special time forMuslims. During this period, it is especially necessary to stay away from our sins and strive to make as many as possible of good deeds. Additional prayers in Islam in Ramadan occupy a special place, because the reward for them increases. However, there is a prayer that can be found only this month. This is tarawih salah. This prayer is read every day after the evening prayer and until the first signs of the dawn appear.

One who will read tarawih salah, hoping forthe reward of Allah, past sins will be forgiven. This is an approximate translation of the hadeeth from the Prophet (peace be upon him). This is a very important Sunnah for both men and women. It is better to read it with the collective in the mosque, but you can also at home. As for the number of rakaatas tarawih salah, during the time of the righteous Caliph Umar, 20 rakaats were planted. However, there are traditions about 11 rak'ahs, everything depends on people's desire, how much they want to do good. But you do not need to go to extremes.

During prayer tarawih it is desirable to read the wholeThe Qur'an for the month of holy Ramadan. A truly believer takes great pleasure in this prayer. It also acts as a factor in the unity of the community, as the importance of collective namaz can not be overemphasized.

Additional prayer after ablution (tahiyyatul voodoo)

Doing, as it should, washing and readingspecial dua at the end, the person becomes ritually purified. In this state, one can approach the Lord of the Worlds with any entreaty. However, in the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) there are words about the dignity of namaz after bathing or tahiyyatul voodoo.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) once met onefrom his companions, who was constant in committing tahiyatul voodoo. It is narrated in the hadeeth that the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him about the deed that brings the companion to paradise. It is reported that his footsteps were heard in paradise. Then the companion replied that he always performs two rak'aatas of prayer after each ritual bath. This tradition reflects the great dignity of this prayer, and how this deed is loved by Allah.

Prayer greeting the mosque (tahiyatul Masjid)

Everyone in the world has his own right, and thisand concerns the houses of Allah. Based on what is called the additional prayer Tahiyatul Masjid, you can understand that it is directly connected with the mosque. It is translated as "prayer of the greeting of the mosque". There is a direct order from the Messenger of Allah, entering the mosque at once did not sit down, but to perform two rak'aatas of prayer.

There are many versions of whether this prayer is being donealways, or there is a time when it does not need to be done. Comparing all the arguments, one can see that the first correct opinion is the first. The Prophet, even on his Friday sermon, stopped and made the tahiyatul read the Masijid of one of his companions. So important is this prayer. After all, Friday's sermon takes a special position in Islam, and every Muslim should listen to it. This is one of the most powerful arguments in favor of this opinion.

Requesting help in matters through the prayer of the truth

Human knowledge is limited, and he often does not know,how to act in a certain situation. But Allah is omniscient, and He has endless knowledge. Therefore, in all matters where there is doubt, one must ask for help from the Lord of the Worlds himself. In the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), there is such a wonderful namaz as the trichor. This prayer is an appeal for help to Allah.

The Istikhora consists of two rakaats, after whichyou need to read a special prayer. The content of this prayer is the praise of Allah Almighty and voicing a problem that cares the believer. In prayer, a Muslim asks his Lord for help in choosing and trusts Him in this matter. This attitude helps to relieve tension. And then follows the help from Allah in the form of the best option.

After reading the prayer of the Truthor, one should consult withpossess knowledge and act in accordance with knowledge. Allah will find a way to help his sincere slave. After all, there is a promise of the Supreme Lord in the Koran, and this is already worth a lot.

Eclipse Prayer

According to Sunnah, there are additional prayers for many occasions. In the case of solar and lunar eclipses, the Prophet (peace be upon him) read a voluntary namaz, and his example is the best guide for a believer.

It is necessary to perform this prayer without Azan and Icomat,it is somewhat like a Friday prayer. The difference is that the sermon is not read. According to the Hanafi madhhab, the prayer of the eclipse is read as ordinary two rak'aats. And the opinion of the Shafi'i scholars is the fulfillment of additional earthly obeisances, which take place after reading the surah of Al-Fatiha. The Qur'an is recited to oneself in the solar eclipse, and in the lunar eclipse. You can read both with jamaat, and individually.

This sunna in our time is not very common, but for its revitalization you can get a rich reward. After all, according to the hadeeth, the beneficiary of one hundred martyrs will be written down to the one who revives the sunnah.

Prayer tasabih

Another prayer from the number of additional prayersis tasabih. This prayer the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught his uncle Abbas and made the believers happy with the good news. He said that all sins will be forgiven if a Muslim makes at least once tasabih namaz.

In this prayer the following words are uttered"Subhanallahi val-hamdullillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar". They need to be repeated seventy-five times, in each rakaat prayer. The tasbeeh prayer itself is read in four rak'aats. The main difference from the other four-hat prayers is only this tasbich formula, which is pronounced in almost all positions.

An intention is made to commit a voluntaryprayers in four rak'aats. Then you need to pronounce the Takbir and read the dua-vivigfar, then 15 times you need to pronounce the aforementioned tasbich formula. Then read Sura al-Fatiha and any other surah and say fifteen times tasbih. After they make a bow, and in this position the tasbih is pronounced ten times. Then they straighten out of their waist bows and say ten times this tasbich formula again. It is bowed and ten times pronounced tasbih. Between the earthly bows and during the second one also this formula is pronounced ten times. In the end, one rak'ahat contains seventy-five tasbiha pronunciation. The subsequent rak'aats are read in this way. For all the prayer, the tasbih formula repeats three hundred times.

This prayer can be performed as with a collective,and alone. But bearing in mind that this is a voluntary prayer, it will be better to do it alone. Generally, it is preferable to do voluntary prayers not in public, to exclude the element of show-off.

We considered additional prayers and theirdescription, it now becomes clear that the mercy of Allah is great in relation to people. Each type of prayer indicated in the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is the greatest wealth of a Muslim. Depending on how the additional prayer is called and when it is performed, it is necessary to perform it according to the sunna. If all the conditions are met, a person can approach Allah and receive for this a huge reward, the magnitude of which only the Almighty knows. One thing is known: retribution for good deeds will be paradise. For a believer, what could be better than coming to the abode of pleasure and knowing that Allah is pleased with you? After all, voluntary namaz is the best way to satisfy the Almighty. For this reason, you can move away from the fire of hell and enter the paradise gardens. This is a success, after which there is no success!
