Farż, Wājib, Sunnat and Nafl

Farż is an action that is obligatory on every Muslim. No person can reject this.

 

The status of a Wājib is slightly less than that of a Farż but to fulfil it is also essential.

 

A Sunnat is that action which the Holy Prophet (pbuh) himself acted upon and which the Khulfa-e- Rashideen (four Caliphs) followed. There are two types of Sunnats:

 

1. Sunnat-e-Mu'akkadah  2. Sunnat-e-Gher Mu'akkadah

 

Sunnat-e-Mu'akkadah is that action which the Holy Prophet (pbuh) always acted upon or has given the command to act upon and of which has no leave without any valid reason.

 

Sunnat-e-Gher Mu'akkadah is that action which the Holy Prophet sometimes performed and sometimes not.

 

A Nafl and Mustahab (desirable action) are actions that if performed, bring reward. There is no accountability for them if they are left out.

Spiritual Prayer

KHWAJA SHAMSUDDIN AZEEMI


Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
