salat

[mohammedali]

in regards to salat, what is the meaning of sunnah mokadda?

Also, what is the difference between sunnah mokadda and sunnah ghair mokadda?

As well as this, in which rakats of which salat is there no need to recite a surah after surah fatiha has been recited?

whilst praying salat, if a mistake is made what should one do? for example; on the first rakat i stayed seated after the second sajdah for the tashahud and began reciting, then i realised after a couple of seconds that i was still in the first rakat and stood up to continue with my salah. in the event of this, what should one do?

in regards to salat, what is the meaning of sunnah mokadda?

Also, what is the difference between sunnah mokadda and sunnah ghair mokadda?

SUNNAT IS OF THREE TYPES:

1. Sunnate Mukada (Emphatic Sunnah)
Is an action which was continuously practiced by Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and was not abandoned without a valid reason. If a person neglects it continuously then it is sinful for example, azaan, sunnat rakat of Fajar, Zohar, Maghrib and the two rakats after Isha Salah. To offer Salat-ul-Tarawih is also Sunnate Mukada.

2. Sunnate Ghair Mukada (Non-Emphatic Sunnah)
Is an act of which was practiced by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions but sometimes they abandoned it without an excuse. To constantly neglect it is not desirable in Sharia. Such as four units of sunnah before Asar salah.

3. Sunnate Mukada Kifaayah
Is an act if few people carry it out then others are discharged from it, for example Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadaan, offering Tarawih prayer with jamat but Tarawih prayer itself is Sunnate Mukadah.

As well as this, in which rakats of which salat is there no need to recite a surah after surah fatiha has been recited?

The Surah after the fatiha is to be recited in every rakat of sunnah prayers n first two Rakats of Fard prayers.For e.g In the Fard of Zuhr,asr, magrib,isha, The surah is to be recited only in the first two rakats.In the last two rakats (in case of magrib last 1 rakat) only till Fatiha is to be recited.

whilst praying salat, if a mistake is made what should one do? for example; on the first rakat i stayed seated after the second sajdah for the tashahud and began reciting, then i realised after a couple of seconds that i was still in the first rakat and stood up to continue with my salah. in the event of this, what should one do?

2. Sunnate Ghair Mukada (Non-Emphatic Sunnah)
Is an act of which was practiced by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions but sometimes they abandoned it without an excuse. To constantly neglect it is not desirable in Sharia. Such as four units of sunnah before Asar and Isha salah.

brother

Some one told me that there is no any authentic reference of 4 rakats sunnah before Isha salah from our prophet!!!. Can you bro post some evidences? It's for just want to know.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry bro, my mistake. I edited it.

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

There is no Hadith that explicitly proves that 4 raka’ts before the prayer of Isha is sunnah. However, there is a Hadith reported in Sahih Al Bukhari, narrated by Abdullah bin Mughaffal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

باب بين كل أذانين صلاة لمن شاء

Between every two calls of prayer, there is a prayer for the one who wishes to perform it.

Sahih Al Bukhri Vol.1 Pg.174 (Darul Fikr)

It is unanimously accepted by the commentators of Ahadith that the words, “two calls of prayer”, mentioned above, refer to Adhan and Iqamah. Therefore, we understand that it is advisable to read some kind of Salaah between the Adhan and Iqamah of every Salaah.

On the basis of this Hadith, Muslim Jurists have inferred that it is mustahab (desirable) to perform some prayer, nafl or sunnah, before every obligatory prayer, except before Maghrib, according to the Hanafi Mazhab. The rak’ats performed before Fajr and Zuhr are sunnah muwakkadah, whilst the ones performed before the rest of the prayers are either nafl or sunnah ghair-muwakadah.

No mention has been made about the number of rak’ats in the abovementioned Hadith, meaning that praying any number of rak’ats will serve the purpose of the Hadith. However, a large number of scholars have preferred to perform 4 rak’ats before Isha on the analogy of Fajr, Zuhr and Asr. It may be seen in the case of these three prayers that the number of sunnah and nafl performed before each of them correspond to the number of obligatory prayers respectively. On this analogy, the said scholars have preferred to perform 4 rak’ats before Isha, as it corresponds to the 4 obligatory rak’ats of Isha.

However, it should be borne in mind that these 4 rak’ats should not be taken as determined by Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), nor as a specific Sunnah.
