The total number of rak’ats for the Fajr prayer is four. Two rak’ats of sunnah muakkadah before the fardh prayer and the two rak’ats of the fardh. The two rak’ats before the fardh prayer is the most important of all sunnah prayers.

Aisha رضياللهتعالىعنهاrelates that Nabi صلىاللهعليهوسلمsaid “The two rak’ats before Fajr is better than the world and whatever it contains” (Tirmidhi)
The total number of rak’ats for the Zuhr prayer is twelve. Four rak’ats of sunnah muakkadah before the four fardh. After the fardh prayer two rak’ats are sunnah muakkah and two rak’ats are mandoob(commendable).The Jum’a prayer consists of four sunnah muakkadah before the fardh and four sunnah muakkadah after the fardh. After these four rak’ats another two rak’ats are mandoob.

The total number of rak’ats for the Maghrib prayer is five rak’ats. Three fardh and two sunnah muakaddah. If a person performs six rak’ats after Maghrib he shall gain the reward for all his sins being forgiven. This is known as the Awwabeen prayer. One may include the two sunnah of Maghrib in counting these six rak’ats.
