3)how many of Salaah r there that prophet use to do like Chaast, Ishraaq please tell me all and time to do it.


Answer:

 

                  

 

1)      The reward and Barakah endowed to one by performing Salaah at its prescribed time is limited to the duration of that Salaah time and is unachievable once the time has elapsed. Therefore, you should make sincere Taubah and make Qadhaa of all the Salaahs missed.

2)       In reality, Allah has created man so that he may recognize Allah and He designed the universe to facilitate the needs of man, And I have created jinn and humankind only that they may worship Me.” (Surah Thariyaat, verse 56), “Blessed is He in Whose control is the entire sovereignty; and He has power over everything,

Who created death and life so that He may try you, that, which of you is better in    deeds. And He is the All Mighty, Oft-Forgiving.” (Surah Mulk, verse 1-2),

“Indeed on man such a period of time has also passed when he was hardly anything    worth making mention of.

          Indeed We created man of a mix drop of semen, that We may try him (with the   obligations of the Shari’ah); then We made him a hearing, seeing entity.

          Indeed We showed him the path. (He now) becomes either grateful or ungrateful.

          Indeed We prepared chains and shackles and blazing flames for the disbelievers.

But for the pious, they will drink from a cup, the mixture of which will be of   Kafoor (camphor).” (Surah Dahr, verse 1-5)

In order to guide man towards the object of his creation and to deliver the   message of Allah, Allah sent Ambiyah. The messengers came and fulfilled their task by aiding man in acquiring his object and teaching them to obey the commandments of Allah. The most eminent from amongst all these messengers is our beloved Nabi (S.A.W.), in fact he (S.AW.) is the leader of all the Ambiyah. With regards to Nubuwwat, Nabi (S.A.W.) is the primary figure while all the other Ambiyah are his successors. It is for this reason that Allah first sent all the Ambiyah, who not only guided their people to the straight path, but also informed them of the appearance of the last Nabi (S.A.W.) and instructed them to bring Imaan on him and aid him in his cause. The Qur’an speaks, And call to mind when Allah took a covenant from the prophets, that: “Whatever Book and wisdom I bestow on you, thereafter a messenger come to you who ratify the Book that is with you, you should bring faith in him and render him assistance.” Allah said: “Have you acknowledged and accepted the terms of My covenant?” They said: “We have acknowledged.” Allah said: “Well you should all testify; and I am with you among those who testify.”

          Now whosoever turns away after that, it is they who are the wicked ones.

Do they seek (a religion) other than the Deen of Allah, when all those in the skies   and the earth have willingly and unwillingly surrendered to Him alone, and (when) to Him alone they will all be returned?

Say: “We believe in Allah and in that (command) which is revealed to us, and in those (commands) which were revealed to Ebrahim, and Ismail, and Ishaq, and Ya’qoob, and the tribes (of Ya’qoob and in those (commands) that were endowed to Moosa, and Isaa and the apostles from their Sustainer. We maintain no distinction between any of the apostles; and we are those who submit to Allah alone.”

          And whosoever seeks a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of    him; and in the hereafter he will be among those who will suffer loss. (Surah Aale ‘Imraan, verse 81-85), And when Isaa, son of Mariam said: “O the children of Israel! Indeed I am Allah’s messenger to you, (I) reaffirm the Taurah before me, and (I) give glad tidings of a messenger who will come after me, whose name will be Ahmad.” So, when Isaa brought evidences to them, they said: “This is sheer sorcery.” (Surah Saff, verse 6), “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and the Sahabah with him are stern against the infidels; compassionate among themselves. You will see them bowing and prostrating, seeking the bounties and pleasure of Allah. Their marks are apparent on their faces due to the traces of prostration. This is their description in the Taurah and their description in the Injeel, similar to a plantation that sent out its shoot, then it strengthened it, then the shoot swelled, then it rose straight up on its stalk which now pleases the farmers, so that Allah may enrage the unbelievers by them (description of the Sahabah). Allah has promised forgiveness and immense reward for those of them who bring faith and practice virtuous deeds.” (Surah Fatah, verse 29).

Nabi (S.A.W.) was not only sent for the people of his time, but as a master and guide for every soul until the day of Qiyaamah, Say: “O people! Indeed I am a messenger (commissioned) to you all from that Allah, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is none worthy of worship besides He. He gives life and death. So bring faith in Allah and in that messenger of His, who is an unlettered apostle. He has faith in Allah and in His words. And you should follow the messenger; perhaps you attain guidance.” (Surah A’araaf, verse 158)

On the day of Qiyaamah, when the people will approach the Ambiyah and request them to intercede on their behalf, they will all direct them to Nabi (S.A.W.) who will be granted permission to intercede. In the Ahadeeth it is mentioned that Nabi (S.A.W.) will be the first to open the doors of Jannah and the first to enter therein. Nabi (S.A.W.) has mentioned: “I am the leader of all the Ambiyah, and I do not say this out of pride.”

From the above explanation it is quite clear that Nabi (S.A.W.) is the primary cause of Risaalah (prophet hood) and it is through Risaalah that man understood the reason of his creation and the creation of the entire universe. Therefore, one can conclude, that the object of creating this universe and man was completed by virtue of our beloved Nabi (S.A.W.). This is what is meant by the words of the Hadith, “Oh Muhammad, if it was not for you the universe would not have been created.    

3) Apart from the Faraaidh, there are a number of other optional prayers (Nawaafil) observed by Nabi (S.A.W.). Mentioned below is a list of most of these prayers:

However, it is best to perform it once the time has entered.

B)     Salaatul Dhuha (Chaasht):
