Farż
is an action that is obligatory on every Muslim. No person can reject this.
The
status of a Wājib is slightly less than that of a Farż but to fulfil it is also
essential.
A Sunnat is that action which the
Holy Prophet (pbuh) himself acted upon and which the Khulfa-e- Rashideen (four
Caliphs) followed. There are two types of Sunnats:
1.
Sunnat-e-Mu'akkadah 2. Sunnat-e-Gher
Mu'akkadah
Sunnat-e-Mu'akkadah is that action
which the Holy Prophet (pbuh) always acted upon or has given the command to act
upon and of which has no leave without any valid reason.
Sunnat-e-Gher Mu'akkadah is that
action which the Holy Prophet sometimes performed and sometimes not.
A Nafl and Mustahab (desirable
action) are actions that if performed, bring reward. There is no accountability
for them if they are left out.
KHWAJA SHAMSUDDIN AZEEMI
Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
