59. SUPEREROGATORY PRAYERS (Nafl) part II

There are other supererogatory Prayers (Nawafil) which are observed voluntary by muslim without any obligations in line with precribed Traditions of the Prophet. These are signified as (sunna not Muakkada = Sunnah nmot Muakkada is unstressed Tradition carried out by the Holy Prophet, but left entirely as a voluntary act), such Nawafil include two or four bows of prayer early in the afternoon and two bow prayer before sun-set, Muhammad (peace be upon him), said :"Pray before sun-set, pray before sun-set, pray before sun-set as voluntarily for he who so wishes it". (Drawing the attention of Muslims not to consider it as a binding Sunnah).
A two bow prayer in the evening is also a Nafl in accordance with the abovementioned Traditions. The apostle said : "Between every two calls for prayer, there is a nafl".
The most preferable Sunna Prayer is that done at home, as explained by the Prophet, "The Supererogatory prayer of a man at his house is a light to any desiring to illuminate his home". In another Hadits, he was reperted as having said :"Make use some of your prayers at home otherwise, they will look like graves".
