Morning Reminder. Wednesday. 26th/27th day of Muharram. The Significance of Supererogatory (Sunnah and Nafl) Salast (Prayers). Sunnah Salaat are voluntary prayers which were prayed by the Messenger of Allah (saws),and thus they become his (saws) Sunnah for us. If one prays them, he will earn a huge reward from Allah Subhanah; and if one does not pray them, there is no sin. The most that can be said of one who does not pray the Sunnah prayers is that he lost a great opportunity to earn huge rewards from Allah and to perfect his or her obligatory Salaat. The Sunnah or Nawaafil (supererogatory prayers), have been legislated to make up for any deficiencies or unknown errors left in the performance of Fard salah (obligatory prayers). In Salah, there are virtues that are not found in any other form of worship. Abu Hurairah reports that the Prophet (saws) said: The first thing that the people will be called to account for on the Day of Resurrection will be the 5x obligatory Salaat. Our Lord will say to the Angels, although He knows better: Look into the (Fard) Salah of my servant to see if he observed it perfectly or been negligent in it. So if he observed it perfectly it will be recorded to his credit, but if he had been negligent in it in any way, Allah would say: See if My servant has any supererogatory prayers. Then if he has any supererogatory prayers, Allah would say: Make up the deficiency in My servants obligatory prayer with his supererogatory prayers. Thereafter all his actions will be examined in like manner. Related by Imam Abu Dawud. To be continued. May Allah aid us to be able to emulate our beloved messenger of Allah and offer our sunnah Salaat along side the obligatory Salaat and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
