THIRD REMINDER: Yaum Al-thalaatha 11th day of Zul-Qa'âdah (24th July). ACTS OF WORSHIP IN DIFFERENT KINDS. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
It is necessary to divide acts of worship into parts.
FARD: Everything that ALLAH definitely wants us to do or to avoid. It is our Prophet who carries out the commands and prohibitions of ALLAH in the best way and who serves as an example. We should follow him in order to carry out the commands and prohibitions of ALLAH. Such as performing prayers, fasting, avoiding fornication and not eating anything haram (forbidden).
WAAJIB (Stressed Sunnah): The waajibs of our religions are commands of our beloved Messenger of ALLAH which is not found directly in Qur'an but was commanded by the Prophet: for instance, it is wajib to perform the prayer of witr, grow our beared etc.
NAAFILAH (Non Stressed Sunnah): The things other than fard and wajib that we carry out while performing prayers. For instance, to offer two rakaats Salaat anytime we perform wuduu is naafl.
ADAB: If we do as the Prophet did while doing our daily tasks like eating, sleeping, entering the mosque or toilet, etc, we will have done them in accordance with their procedures. A person who does not act accordingly is not regarded to have committed sins.
We can think of it like a human body. Man has necessary organs to live: for instance, the brain, heart, head, etc. The principles that we must believe in are like the heart and brain of our spirit.
Our body has sense organs like eyes, ears, hands, feet, etc. Fards are like them. They are the eyes, ears, hands and feet of our spirit. A person who does not perform fards is like a person without hands, feet, eyes and ears.
We also have some beauties and adornments like fingers, eyebrows and hair in our bodies. We can live without them. However, if we have them, we will be perfect. Similarly, the nafilah and adab parts of sunnah are the adornments and beauties of our spirit. If we perform them, we will receive many rewards; if we do not perform them, we will not receive any sins.
To sum up, the fard and wajib parts are the sunnahs that are obligatory to be performed. We will receive many rewards if we perform the nafilah and adab parts.
May ALLAH keep guiding us all to adhere to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Aameen.
