Five prayers have been made obligatory by Allah upon the servants. Whoever comes with them, having not done anything in them that would detract form what is obligatory in them, then for him is with Allah a covenant that he will admit him into Paradise.

 3: The Nafil-Voluntary Prayers:

Nawafil plural form of an Arabic word Nafil that means voluntary or optional salaat.

Any prayer that is prayed daily or nightly that is not one of the Sunnat Mokadda prayers or Sunnat Ghair Mokadda prayers mentioned above is known as a Nafil or voluntary prayer.

Following are some of the Nawafil-Voluntary Prayers:
1: Eight Rakaat of Tahajjud
2: Two Rakaat after the four/two Rak’at of Sunnah at the end of Dhuhr Prayer
3: Four Rakaat before Fardh of ‘Asr Prayer
4: Two Rakaat after the two Rak’at at the end of Maghrib Prayer
5: Four Rakaat of Ishraaq Prayer

Note: The Nafil-voluntary namaz is not obligatory but is best, One may offer as many nafil-voluntary salaat as one wish. However, Nafil prayers should not be offered during the forbidden like between Asr and Maghrib time. It is superior to perform nafil salah at home rather than in a masjid.
