Rawatib Sunnah Prayers and How to Do

It Between each of the two adzan (adzan and iqamah) there are sunnah prayers that are organized to be performed. 

Salat is the first practice calculated on the Day of Judgment. Prayer is also the difference between believers and polytheists (infidels).

Whoever keeps the obligatory prayers and enlivens the sunnah prayers then he will be the luckiest person in this world and the hereafter. There are many kinds of sunnah prayers that are organized to be performed. One of them is Sunawat Rawatib Prayer.

Rawatib prayer is a sunnah prayer that is performed before and after the obligatory prayer (five times prayer). Rawatib sunnah prayers performed before the obligatory prayers are called Qobliyah sunnah prayers. Rawatib sunnah prayers performed as a obligatory prayer are called Ba'diyah sunnah prayers.

Rawatib Prayer is divided into 2, namely:

1. Mu'akkad Rawatib Prayer (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to do).

That is a prayer that is highly emphasized by the Prophet and he always performs prayers that is 10 to 12 rak'ahs:

• 2 rak'ahs before the dawn prayer
• 2 or 4 rak'ahs before the Zhuhur prayer
• 2 or 4 rak'ahs after the Zhuhur prayer
• 2 rak'ahs after Maghrib
• 2 rak'ahs after Isha

2 Rawatib Ghoiru Mu'akkad Prayer (ORGANIZED to be performed).

It is rawatib sunnah prayer that is less emphasized. As for the sunnah prayers of Rawatib Ghairu Muakkad, namely:

• 2 or 4 rak'ahs before Ashar prayers (if done 4 rak'ahs, can be done with one salutation or two salutations)
• 2 rak'ahs before Maghrib prayer
• 2 rak'ahs before Isha prayer.
