Differences in the 4 raka'ats of sunnah mokidah and sunnah non-mokidah

[Allah's_Servant]

Assalam Alykum

I want to inquire that what is the main difference between these two sunnah salah with respect to 4 raka'ats?

Thanks.

Wassalam.

P.S. I'm new to this forum, so if the answer is already there then please share in the link. Thank you.

At the end of the second rakaat of Sunnah Ghair Muakkedah, read durood Ibrahim after the attahiyat, then say takbeer and stand up. Start from thana (as in the beginning of first rakaat) and finish as normal. Basically, four sunnah ghair muakkedah are like to nafl joined together. If you don't read like this, its not a sin, but its preferable to do so

Thank you brother ahmed12.

While the topics' on this can you, also, please tell me how to perform the 4 raka'at sunnah mokidah?? Is it like the 4 fardh (i.e. No Surah after Fatiha in 3rd or 4th raka'at) or is it different?

The reason for asking this is that Im somewhat confused in this. I hope you won't mind.

Thank you.

No Probs

You have to read a surah after Al Fatiha in 3rd and 4th rakaat of sunnah muakkedah and also sunnah ghair muakkedah. You also read it in the 3rd rakaat of witr, before the Du'a e Qunoot
