Advice to Those Who Are Not Praying Any Nawaafil Prayers
QUESTION :
What is your advice to someone who has stopped praying the Sunnah prayers in the daytime and does not pray anything at night?
ANSWER by Shaykh Muhammad ‘Umar Baazmool, instructor at Umm Al-Quraa University in Makkah
There is nothing more outstanding as advice than the hadeeth of the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam), when he said:
“The very first thing a servant will be asked about on the Day of Judgement is the prayer. If it is found to be deficient, then it will be said, ‘Doesn’t he have any optional prayers?’ If it is found that he has optional prayers, then they will fill the void, and thus his prayers will be accepted, and the rest of his deeds will also be accepted.” [1]
And the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) was asked about a dream that Ibn Umar had, so he (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said:
“What a good man ‘Abdullaah ibn Umar is, so long as he prays at night.” [2]
So then consistently praying the optional prayers, the most important of them being the Witr prayer and the (12) Sunnahs throughout the day and night, is from the most important of all affairs to the Muslim. This is because you, O Muslim, by way of them, compensate for the lapses found in your obligatory prayers.
And the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) clarified in a hadeeth that a man may pray but he may only be credited with half of it, another may pray but only be credited with one third of it, and another may pray but only be credited with one fourth of it… [3]
The meaning is that it often occurs that the people have shortcomings in their prayers, while it is obligatory to offer them, completing them perfectly. So have you actually offered all of your prayers completely and perfectly according to the Sharee’ah?
So then you must take care to consistently offer optional prayers, you must take care to consistently offer the Witr prayer, you must take care to offer the other optional prayers consistently. It has been related that Imaam Ahmad said about the one who does not consistently pray the Witr prayer, “He is an evil man, his witness is not to be accepted.”
So how could a Muslim who has no work keeping him from his worship become lazy and then abandon these (optional) prayers. No doubt, he has caused himself to lose a great amount of good, and to miss an opportunity to obtain tremendous virtues, while being free to do them and try to keep consistency in offering them.
I ask Allaah to excuse us and him, and to be gracious.
There is a hadeeth of the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam):
“May Allaah have Mercy on the one who offers four (rak’ahs) before ‘Asr prayer.” [4]
When you do not pray this prayer, four rak’ahs before the ‘Asr prayer, you have prevented your own self from being included in those whom the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) supplicated for, those who pray this prayer.
The Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said:
“Whoever consistanly prays twelve rak’ahs throughout the day and night, a palace will be built for him in Paradise.” [5]
When you abandon the rawaatib prayers, and you do not pray these twelve rak’ahs, you have deprived your own self from this virtue.
Most of the optional prayers have great virtues attached to them, described by the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam). So then, O Muslim, how can you lose out, how can you not be concerned about it?
And Allaah knows best.

Virtues of the Prayer
Author:Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-’Uthaimeen
Source:Sifat Salaat-in-Nabee
Translator:isma’eel alarcon
Produced by:al-manhaj.com
The Prayer: is the second pillar from the pillars of Islaam and the most important pillar of Islaam after the Shahaadah (testimony) of Faith.
The Prayer: is a link between the servant and his Lord. The Prophet (saws) said: “Indeed, when one of you prays, he speaks privately with his Lord.” [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree] And Allaah says in the qudsee hadeeth: “I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant into two parts, and My servant will have what he asks for.
So when the servant says: ‘Al-Hamdulillaahi Rabb-il-‘Alameen’, Allaah says: ‘My servant has praised Me.’
And when he says: ‘Ar-Rahmaan-ir-Raheem’, Allaah says: ‘My servant has extolled Me.’
And when he says: ‘Maaliki-yawm-id-Deen’, Allaah says: ‘My servant has honored Me.’
And when he says: ‘Iyyaaka Na’bdu wa Iyyaaka Nasta’een’, Allaah says: ‘This is between Me and My servant and My servant will have what he asks for.’
And when he says: ‘Ihdinaas-Siraat-al-Mustaqeem. Siraat-aladheena an’amta ‘alaihim. Ghairil-Maghdoobi ‘alaihim wa lad-Daalleen’, Allaah says: ‘This is for My servant and for My servant will be what he asks for.’” [Reported by Muslim]
The Prayer: is a garden of ‘ibaadaat (acts of worship), in which every splendid type of worship is found. There is the takbeer, by which the prayer is initiated, the standing in which the person praying recites the words of Allaah, the bowing in which he extols his Lord, the rising from the bowing position, which is filled with the praising of Allaah, the prostration in which he glorifies Allaah by His highness and in which he implores him through supplication, the sitting in which there is the tashahhud and (more) supplication and the closing with tasleem.
The Prayer: is a means of support and assistance in times of distress and grief. And it prevents one from evil and shameful deeds. Allaah says: “Seek assistance in patience and prayer.” And He says: “Recite what has been revealed to you from the Book and establish the prayer. Verily, the prayer prevents one from evil and shameful deeds.”
The Prayer: is the light of the believers in their hearts and in their place of gathering (on the Day of Judgement). The Prophet (saws) said: “The prayer is light.” And he (saws) said: “Whoever guards it (his prayers), it will be a light, a proof and a (means of) salvation for him on the Day of Judgement.” [Reported by Ahmad, Ibn Hibbaan and At-Tabaraanee]
The Prayer: is the joy and delight of the believers’ souls. The Prophet (saws) said: “My delight was placed in the prayer.” [Reported by Ahmad and An-Nasaa’ee]
The Prayer: wipes away sins and expiates evil deeds. The Prophet (saws) said: “Do you think that if there was a river by the door of one of you and he bathed in it five times a day that there would remain any dirt on him?” They (the Companions) answered: “There would not remain any dirt on him.” The Prophet (saws) said: “That is how it is with the five (daily) prayers, through them Allaah washes away the (minor) sins.” [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim] And the Prophet (saws) said: “The five (daily) prayers and Jumu’ah (prayer) to Jumu’ah (prayer) are an expiation for what (sins) occur between them so long as one is not guilty of major sins.” [Reported by Muslim]
The Prayer in Congregation: Ibn ‘Umar (raa) reported that the Prophet (saws) said: “Prayer in congregation is better than praying alone by twenty-seven degrees.” [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim] Ibn Mas’ood (raa) said: “Whoever would be happy to meet Allaah tomorrow as a Muslim, then let him preserve (in establishing) these five prayers from the place where they are called from (i.e. masjids), for verily, Allaah has legislated for your Prophet the ways of guidance. And indeed these (five prayers in the masjid) are from the ways of guidance. And if you were to pray in your homes as this man who refrains (to pray in the masjid) prays in his home, then you would have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet. And if you were to abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet (saws) you would go astray. There is not a man that performs the ablution and does it well, then sets out to go to one of these masjids except that Allaah records a good deed for him for every step he takes and raises him up one level and erases one evil deed due to it. You have certainly seen us, and no one would refrain from the prayer (in the masjid) except the hypocrite whose hypocrisy was well known. And indeed a man would be brought supported by two men until he was made to stand in the row (for prayer).” [Reported by Muslim]
Al-Khushoo’ (Submissiveness) in the Prayer, which means that 1) the heart is present and attentive, and 2) preserving that condition – are both from the means of entering Paradise. Allaah says: “Successful indeed are the believers. Those who in their prayers are submissive. And those who turn away from vain talk. And those who pay their Zakaat. And those who protect their private parts – Except in front of their spouses or those (women) whom their right hands possess, for indeed they are not held to blame (in that). So whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors. And those who keep their trusts and covenants. And those who preserve their prayers. They are the inheritors – the ones who will inherit Al-Firdaus (highest level in Paradise), in which they will abide forever.”
Being sincere to Allaah in the prayer and performing it according to the manner it is described in the Sunnah are the two fundamental conditions for its acceptance. The Prophet (saws) said: “Verily, actions are by intentions and every person will have what he intended.” [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim] And he (saws) said: “Pray as you have seen me pray. {Reported by Al-Bukhaaree]

Question No.1
Why has Allaah created us?
Answer
To worship Him alone and to worship no other besides Him.
Evidence from the Noble Qur.aan
{And I have not created Jinn and human beings except they should worship Me}, {Soorah adh-Dhaariyaat, Aayah 56]
Evidence from the authentic Sunnah
((The right of Allaah upon slaves is to worship Him and not to associate partners with Him)), Transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]
Nifaq is of 2 types:
1. nifaq [hypocrisy] of belief
2. nifaq of action
1. nifaq of belief: it is to outwardly demonstrate Islaam whilst inwardly there is kufr [disbelief]. The individual who practices this type is a muslim outwardly and a kafir and zindeeq [heretic] inwardly and when he dies he is in the lowest depths of the fire. as Alla said, "Verily, the hyprocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for them." (An-Nisa 4:145) "Except those who repent (from hypocrisy), do righteous good deeds, hold fast to Allâh, and purify their religion for Allâh (by worshipping none but Allâh, and do good for Allâh's sake only, not to show-off), then they will be with the believers. And Allâh will grant to the believers a great reward." (An-Nisa 4:146)

1.2. nifaq of actions: as for the nifaq of action then it is what is mentioned in these two ahadeeth from the five blameworthy attributes

1.abdullah ibn amr radi allahu anhu said, who said that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "there are four characteristics of munafiq, whosoever has all of them in him is a true munafiq, and whoever has in him someof them, then he has some part of nifaq in him until he leaves it. when he is trusted, he proves to be dishonest, when he speaks, he lies, when he makes a promise he breaks it, when eh disputes, he uses evil languages."

Muhammad Rasul Allah means: with the explanation of the testimony that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and its requisite are: to believe him in what he informed, and to obey him in what he ordered, and to leave off what he forbade about and prevented from and that Allah is not worshiped except with what Allah legislated and His Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam.
The excellence of the prayer and its wiping away of sins and evil deeds
From Aboo Hurairah radi allahu anhu who said that i heard Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam say: do you think that if there was a river at the door of one of you and he bathed in it five times a day, would any dirt remain upon him? they said, no dirt would remain upon him. He said, that is how it is with the five daily prayers, through them Allah washes away the sins." [al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Aboo Huraira radi allahu anhu, also narrates that Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, the five daily prayers, and the Jumu'ah to the Jumu'ah are an expiation for what is between them, as long as one is not guilty of major-sins. [Muslim]
From Uthmaan radi allahu anhu, who said that Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, there is no muslim upon whom the obligatory prayer becomes due, so he perfects the wudhu, humility and attentiveness [khushu] and the bowing [ruku] except that it is an expiation of the sins that is coming before it as long as he does not commit major sins. This applies all the time. [Muslim]

Aboo Huraira radi allahu anhu, also narrates that Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, the five daily prayers, and the Jumu'ah to the Jumu'ah are an expiation for what is between them, as long as one is not guilty of major-sins. [Muslim]
From Uthmaan radi allahu anhu, who said that Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, there is no muslim upon whom the obligatory prayer becomes due, so he perfects the wudhu, humility and attentiveness [khushu] and the bowing [ruku] except that it is an expiation of the sins that is coming before it as long as he does not commit major sins. This applies all the time. [Muslim]
Why has Allaah created us?
Answer
To worship Him alone and to worship no other besides Him.
Evidence from the Noble Qur.aan
{And I have not created Jinn and human beings except they should worship Me}, {Soorah adh-Dhaariyaat, Aayah 56]
Evidence from the authentic Sunnah
((The right of Allaah upon slaves is to worship Him and not to associate partners with Him)), Transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]
Nifaq is of 2 types:
1. nifaq [hypocrisy] of belief
2. nifaq of action
1. nifaq of belief: it is to outwardly demonstrate Islaam whilst inwardly there is kufr [disbelief]. The individual who practices this type is a muslim outwardly and a kafir and zindeeq [heretic] inwardly and when he dies he is in the lowest depths of the fire. as Alla said, "Verily, the hyprocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for them." (An-Nisa 4:145) "Except those who repent (from hypocrisy), do righteous good deeds, hold fast to Allâh, and purify their religion for Allâh (by worshipping none but Allâh, and do good for Allâh's sake only, not to show-off), then they will be with the believers. And Allâh will grant to the believers a great reward." (An-Nisa 4:146)
2. nifaq of actions: as for the nifaq of action then it is what is mentioned in these two ahadeeth from the five blameworthy attributes
abu huraira radi allahu anhu said, Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wasallam said, "the sings of munafiq are three: when he speaks, he lies, when he promises, he breaks the promise, if you trust him, he proves to be dishonest, [if you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it] - [Bukhari and Muslim]
abdullah ibn amr radi allahu anhu said, who said that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "there are four characteristics of munafiq, whosoever has all of them in him is a true munafiq, and whoever has in him someof them, then he has some part of nifaq in him until he leaves it. when he is trusted, he proves to be dishonest, when he speaks, he lies, when he makes a promise he breaks it, when eh disputes, he uses evil languages." [bukhari]
Defination of Islam: Islam is to submit to Allah with Tawheed, and surrendering one’s full obedience to Allah, and leaving of shirk and innovation and their people (people of shirk and innovation).
[003 al-imraan :019] Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm.
[039 az-zumar:054] “And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islâmic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him (in Islâm) before the torment comes upon you, (and) then you will not be helped.
[019:048] “And I (ibrahim) shall turn away from you (his father) and from those whom you invoke besides Allâh. And I shall call upon my Lord and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord.”
Muhammad Rasul Allah means: with the explanation of the testimony that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and its requisite are: to believe him in what he informed, and to obey him in what he ordered, and to leave off what he forbade about and prevented from and that Allah is not worshiped except with what Allah legislated and His Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam.
The excellence of the prayer and its wiping away of sins and evil deeds
From Aboo Hurairah radi allahu anhu who said that i heard Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhe wa sallam say: do you think that if there was a river at the door of one of you and he bathed in it five times a day, would any dirt remain upon him? they said, no dirt would remain upon him.
