Asalamu Alaikum Wa Rahamthulalhi Wa Barakathu!
May you all be under best security and mercy of Allah swt always! Aameen!
Brothers And Sisters.. Im new to Islam and i was wondering if someone can help me with prayers.. I Just need to know how many rakas i need to do for Fard and Sunnah and Wajib for each Prayer.. If someone can assist me i would appreciate it
the wajib or fard i.e obligatory one are only 5:
fajr:2 rak'as
duhr:4
asr:4
maghreb:3
eisha:4
as for the sunnah (=nafela)
they are mustahab i.e prefered or beloved but not obligatory
the most persistently prayed by the prophet pbuh and known as "al sunan al rawateb" or "al sunan al mu'akada" are as follows:
fajr: 2 rak'as before
duhr: 2(or 4) before and 2(or 4) after, the scholars have differed
asr: none
maghreb: 2 after
eisha: 2 after
also it is sunnah to pray "shaf3"(2 rak'as) and watir (1 rak'a) right before sleeping or after eisha
but in general you can pray as many rak'as of sunnah as you wish, although a good practice is to start with less and work your way up as you get stronger.
"the deeds most beloved to Allah are those that are consistently carried out even if they are small"
