According to Hanafi fiqh, the ones in red are mandatory:

Fajr: 4 total - 2 sunnah, 2 fardh
Dhuhr: 12 total - 4 sunnah, 4 fardh, 2 sunnah, 2 nafl
Asr: 8 total - 4 sunnah, 4 fardh
Maghrib: 7 total - 3 fardh, 2 sunnah, 2 nafl
Isha: 17 total - 4 sunnah, 4 fardh, 2 sunnah, 2 nafl, 3 witr, 2 nafl

The order laid out above is how you'd pray them too.

thank you so much brother

do you or any one know of a video/audio of how to properly recite"attaya tul" (sorry I don't know the name or how to ask for it properly) but it is the first verse you recite after 2 rakah and you're sitting down after your sajda. I have found some youtube videos of how to recite them but its not clear and Im having a hard time saying the entire verse properly. I cannot read Arabic either.

also when I go to friday prayer why is it when I'm behind Imam we do 2 rakah?

**|Mo|** · 09-02-2010

well I dont mean why I mean is the 2 rakah behind imam sunnah or fardh?

As stated above, Dhuhr has 12 rakaahs. In friday prayers too you have 12 rakaahs.But you offer 2 fardh and 4 rakaah sunnath after fardh.

So the total is :-
Jum'ah: 12 total - 4 sunnah, 2 fardh, 4 sunnah, 2 nafl

Allahu alim.

and maybe theres 2 more nafl in Jum'ah, but I'm not sure.

One more thing. Whenever you pray behind the Imam, its fardh.

The only exception is in Ramdhan, where you pray the Sunnath-e-muakkidah taraweeh, and the Witr behind Imam after Isha.

That's named Tashahud Du'a. http://transliteration.org/quran/tahET.htm

Yeah, for jum'ah there is another 2 but not nafl, but rather 2 sunnah muakkadah. So we have: 4 sunnah, 2 fardh, 4 sunnah, 2 sunnah, 2 nafl

The red are obligatory.
