Lo! (the recital of) the Qur’an at dawn is ever witnessed. The best of the voluntary prayers is Tahajjud prayer:Īllah Most High said, “Establish worship at the going down of the sun until the dark of the night, and (the recital of) the Qur’an at dawn. The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Ask (anything)." Rabi'ah said: "I ask of you to be your companion in paradise." The Prophet said: “Anything else?" Rabi'ah said: "That is it." The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said to him: "Then help me by making many prostrations (i.e., supererogatory prayers)." So praying many voluntary prayers will enable us to be closer to our Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) who is in the highest ranks of Jannah: So the more we prostrate, the more our ranks will be raised in Jannah insha’Allah until we reach the highest level, Jannat Al-Firdaus, and this is where the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) will be. “Prostrate much because there is no Muslim that prostrates to God except that God raises him one degree in Paradise by it and forgives for him a sin.” (Ahmad) It will also enable us to do many more prostrations which is the best and most closest position a Muslim can be towards Allah as the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) taught us: ….and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (voluntary deeds) until I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My Protection, I will protect him." Nafil prayers enable one to get closer to Allah as Allah says in Hadith Qudsi: I is done by the heart so just by intentding to pray a nafil prayer is enough but if you want to say it by the tongue then that is also fine.
Intention does not have to be said by the tongue. But they are very rewarding and will also help in filling in any gaps or mistakes made during fard prayers.
Nafil prayers are voluntary prayers as in they are not emhpasised for us to pray like Fard or wajib prayers. I was wondering, how do you pray nafl prayers? Is it prayed just like a fard prayer of do you have to say something in it to make it nafl prayer? Like in witr, you have to say dua qunoot.
