A Description of the Supererogatory (Sunnah) Prayers

Shaikh Muhammad ibn Umar Bazmul | Hikmah Publications

O Muslim, be consistent with the regular supererogatory Prayers, imitating the excellent example of the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Being consistent with the supererogatory Prayers is also a way to compensate for any fault or deficiency that transpired in the obligatory Prayers. Man is prone to fall short and fail to achieve perfection, and therefore he is in need of something to compensate for his negligence.
