Salah - Sunnah prayers

Sunnah, unlike Fard, are voluntary prayers performed by musalleehs for extra reward. The Sunnah salah (as with all other Sunnahs) originated from the practice of the Prophet who used to perform more prayers than the obligatory amount.

While general Sunnah salaah may be performed at any time of the day (with certain exceptions, see below), certain Sunnahs have prescribed waqts associated with them.

Salah - Sunnah Associated with the Five Daily Prayers

Apart from the obligatory prayers, each of the five daily salah also have associated Sunnah prayers which may be performed either before (qab'li'atan) and/or after (ada'an) the Fard Salah. The qad'li'atan sunnah is performed between the completion of the Adhan and the start of the Iqamah, while the ada'an sunnah is performed after the completion of the Fard salah up to the next waqt. Any amount of extra Sunnah may be performed, although most madhabs prescribe a certain number of Sunnah for each salah.

Salah - Taraweeh

Taraweeh is extra salah prescribed during the month of Ramadaan. Followers of Imaam Abu Hanifa recite 20 raka'ats, (10 sets of two) which must be performed after Isha'a. It is common practice to complete a khatm (complete recitation) of the Quran in Taraweeh during the month. It is considered a bidah, or an innovation, by Shi'as.
