Brothers and sisters in Islam, there is no doubt that the Nawafil prayers also known as voluntary prayers that we normally observe before or after the obligatory prayers hold special benefits and bountiful rewards.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the numerous benefits and rewards associated with these Nawafil prayers, many Muslims neglect their performance. These can be attributed to several factors such as a lack of understanding of the benefits involved or busy lifestyles.<\/p>\n<p>Alhamdulillah, most Muslims are good at keeping the daily obligatory prayers but are only lazy in performing the Nawafil prayers (voluntary prayers).\u00a0 These voluntary prayers are performed either before or after the compulsory ones and are well established in the Sunnah that our Prophet (Allah&#8217;s peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform them regularly.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_Of_Nawafil_Prayers_Voluntary_Prayers\"><\/span><strong>Significance Of Nawafil Prayers (Voluntary Prayers)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s quite unfortunate that a lot of Muslims today are not good at keeping up with the Nawafil prayers and are negligent in observing them. This negligence often stems from a lack of understanding about their significance.\u00a0 We should know that they are important because they complement the compulsory prayers if there is a deficiency or shortcoming on the Day of Judgment.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">There is no how we will be observing the daily obligatory prayers without making mistakes and errors in these obligatory prayers. The voluntary prayers that we observe will be used to complement the mistakes and errors we make in our obligatory prayers. Who can guarantee that he observed all his obligatory prayers very well and perfectly without any error?<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Of course, none of us are perfect, and no Salah (prayer) is free from distraction or mistake. In this situation, the reward from the Nawafil prayers (voluntary prayers) will be taken to complete and correct the compulsory prayers that have mistakes. The Prophet (Allah&#8217;s peace and blessings be upon him) said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The first thing about which the people will be called to account out of their actions on the Day of Judgment is prayer. Our Lord, the Exalted, will say to the angels &#8211; though He knows better: Look into the prayer of My servant and see whether he has offered it perfectly or imperfectly. If it is perfect, that will be recorded perfect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If it is defective, He will say: See there are some optional prayers offered by My servant. If there are optional prayer to his credit, He will say: Compensate the obligatory prayer by the optional prayer for My servant. Then all the actions will be considered similarly.
