Solat Sunat Rawatib

 Bismillah ! As you know, I'm currently unemployed. It's been 10 months now and one of the things I cherish most while at home is free time. Free time means I can pray on time and take my time to pray properly. Back when I was working at KFC, everyday, usually, I need to pray there for Zohor, Asar, and Maghrib. It was tough, firstly to pray on time cuz if there are many customers, I can't simply leave the counter and go pray, unless there's other colleague who is willing to take my counter for a while. Other than that, I would always rush through my prayers. I recite Al-Fatihah in about two breathings, and no dua' after prayers. I pray Subuh and Isyak at home but can't seem to focus too because I was too tired. 

Now, alhamdulillah for this gift of time by Allah. I try my best to be ready before every prayer, and on top of that, do as much as solat sunat as I can. Cuz I never know what would happen in the future. I might have a business and have to work so I'm scared I can't do my best in praying anymore. 

So, from day to day, I try to perfect my solah. I try to do solat-solat sunat, sometimes solat qada, and I pray to Allah to increase my knowledge about solah. So for today, I wanna memorize solat sunat rawatib (solat sunat qabliyah and solat sunat ba'diah. )

1. Solat sunat Qabliyyah (solat sunat yang didirikan sebelum solat fardu)
2. Solat sunat Ba’diyyah (solat sunat yang didirikan selepas solat fardu)

Sunat muakkad bermaksud sunat yang amat digalakkan untuk diamalkan iaitu:

1. Dua rakaat sebelum fardu Zohor dan dua rakaat sesudahnya
2. Dua rakaat sesudah fardu Maghrib
3. Dua rakaat sesudah fardu Isyak
4. Dua rakaat sebelum fardu Subuh, tidak ada sunat rawatib sesudahnya.

Dari Aisyah, Rasulullah SAW bersabda:

Sesiapa yang sentiasa (berterusan) mengerjakan  solat (sunat) 12 rakaat, Allah SWT akan membina rumah baginya di syurga, iaitu; 4 rakaat sebelum solat Zuhur dan 2 rakaat selepas Zuhur, serta 2 rakaat sesudah Maghrib, 2 rakaat  selepas Isyak dan 2 rakaat lagi sebelum solat Subuh.” 

— Hadis riwayat Tirmizi

I really really hope one day I would have khusyuk in my solat cuz it's so hard to focus in prayers. Khusyuk is something I need to constantly work on every single day. 

Love,
