The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, “Pray as you see me pray.” I’badaah Fard, Sunnah in Salaah

The object of prayer is to remember Allah. That is why prayer was dearest to the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, as he said: "He who gives up prayer has indeed disbelieved.“ It is also important not to pray carelessly as the Quran says: "Woe to praying ones who are heedless of their prayers." [Al-Ma'un 107:4-5]

The Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: "You should worship Allah as if you see Him; because though you don't see Him, He surely sees you.“ Prayer protects one from sins and shameful deeds. Prayer purifies a person and brings him closer to Allah.

The five daily prayers consist of Fard: obligatory prayer Sunnah: Prophet's tradition Nafl: voluntary prayer

The sunnah are again divided into 1.Sunnah Muakkadah and 2.Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah. Sunnah Muakkadah means an act that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, always used to do. These rakats must be offered. (However if missed, there is no makeup or qada for it). Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah are sunnahs that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to leave sometimes without any reason. These are not obligatory.
