Nawafil after Wajib prayers

In Shia teachings, Nawafil can be broadly classified into several categories. Each type displays distinct characteristics and benefits:

a. Sunnah Mu’akkadah – These are highly emphasized voluntary prayers that the Prophet Muhammad consistently performed and encouraged. They are often offered before or after obligatory prayers, ensuring that followers engage in consistent spiritual practice.

b. Sunnah Ghair Mu’akkadah – These are optional prayers that are recommended but not emphasized to the same degree as Sunnah Mu’akkadah. Their performance is meritorious but not consistently expected.
