Synopsis
Our beloved Prophet ﷺ despite being the best of mankind, would perform supplementary acts regularly. Ranging from his dzikir to his istighfar. Similarly, Muhammad ﷺ would increase the intensity and frequency of his supererogatory solat through-out the day. This was an expression of the love and gratitude of our Prophet to his Creator.
Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Allah said, ‘I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till 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 (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him.” – [Al-Bukhari]
Being the paragon for humanity, it is our mission to emulate the Prophet ﷺ in all of his affairs. Essentials this time round aims to highlight the daily supplementary (sunnah) prayers of the Messenger ﷺ in preparation for Ramadan in order to maximise the benefits of the auspicious month. We will discuss the rulings and practices of the forms of prayer in an effort to enhance and immerse ourselves in our connection with Allah.
