52,966Obligatory Parts and Sunnah Acts of Prayer
1. There are 14 pillars of prayer and there are 8 obligatory parts of prayer. There are many Sunnah acts of prayer, both words and actions. 2. The difference between a pillar and an obligatory part is that a pillar cannot be waived, whether one omits it deliberately or by mistake, rather it must be done. An obligatory part is waived if one forgets, and it can be compensated for by doing the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud as-sahw). Learn more in the detailed answer.427,458Is Sending Blessings upon the Prophet in Tashahhud Mandatory?
Scholars differ on sending blessings upon the Prophet in Tashahhud. Opinions range from it being a pillar, obligatory, or Sunnah. Most likely, it is Sunnah, not invalidating prayer if omitted.71,224Moving Finger in Tashahhud
It is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to point with his index finger and move it during the tashahhud when praying.451,352Moving the forefinger during the Tashahhud
82,410Sunnah Prayers: What Are Their Virtues and Times?
1- Sunnah prayers are of two types: * Sunnah prayers which are done before the obligatory prayer – two rak’ahs before Fajr and four before Zhuhr. * Sunnah prayers which are done after the obligatory prayer – two rak’ahs after Zhuhr, two rak’ahs after Maghrib and two rak’ahs after ‘Isha. 2- It is not correct to pray the Sunnah prayer before the time for the obligatory prayer begins, rather you should wait until the time for that prayer comes, then pray it.346,254Tashahhud in a Two-Rak’ah Prayer: What to Say?
In a two-rak’ah prayer, a Muslim should say the normal tashahhud (first and second part) and follow it with the reported du`a and then he can say any du`a he likes.382,178Can I Recite Aloud When I Pray Alone?
Reciting aloud in Fajr prayer and in the first two Rak`ahs of Maghrib and `Isha’ is Sunnah for both, one who is leading the prayers and one who is praying alone. If a person recites silently there is no sin on him, but he would be neglecting an act of Sunnah.145,635
