50 RAKA'ATS A DEVOTED BELIEVER SHOULD MAKE DAILY!

(Advice of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse)

    As-Salam Alaykum, 

Here is a gift for our Tijani brothers and sisters.

    Mawlana Shaykh-al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA) wrote in a letter to one of his senior muqaddams: 

    "And I give you permission to perform the following amount of Salahs daily, which are a total of 50 Rak'ahs of Fard and Nafl between the Night and the Day:

 

The Fards (obligatory) are 17 Rak'ahs:

    - Fajr: 2 

    - Zuhr: 4

    - Asr: 4 

    - Maghrib 3

    - Esha: 4 

And the Nafls (voluntary) are:

    - Salat al-Layl (the night prayers after Esha till end of Tahajjud): 12 

    - The Witr (final prayer): 3

    - Sunnah before Fajr: 2 

    - Salat al-Duha (prayer after sunrise): 2

    - Sunnah before Zuhr: 4 

    - Sunnah after Zuhr: 4

    - Sunnah before Asr: 4 

    - Sunnah After Maghrib: 2

    So persist on this worship; and I give permission in it to all brothers who wish to practice it as well, without any hardship on the self; and all strength and power comes from none but Allah the most High the most Great". 

From the Collection of Baye's Letters by Shaykh Abu'l-Fathi entitled Ziyadat al-Jawahir (p.17)

 

 

In his Tafsir lessons, Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) mentioned these as the 50 Raka'ats devoted believers (خاشعون) should ideally pray daily.

However the breakdown of Raka'ats mentioned in the Tafsir is slightly different than the one mentioned above.

Rather than prescribe the Salat al-Layl/Tahajjud as 12 Raka'ats (as qouted above), he counted it as 10 only, adding 2 Raka'ats before the Esha prayer (not mentioned in the letter above). 

So 2 Raka'ats before Esha, and 10 night Raka'at which would ideally be 2 after Esha and 8 at Tahajjud time.

So the breakdown of the 50 Raka'ats as mentioned in the Tafsir is: 

20 = 17 Fards & 3 Witr

2 = Before Fajr

2= Salat al-Duha

4= Before Zuhr

4= After Zuhr

4= Before Asr

2= After Maghrib

2= Before Esha

10= In the night (Tahajjud)

So these are the fulfillment of the original Divine commandment of 50 prayers a day. 

(Tafsir Shaykh Ibrahim, Surah al-Nisa, vol. 2 p.57)

 

One could say that if you have time before Esha, then pray 2 Raka'ats before the Fard. Then 10 Raka'ats in the night.

If you didn't get a chance to pray 2 Raka'ats before Esha, then pray 12 Raka'ats in the night, to complete the 50. 

Whichever version one follows, is good as it is all from the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.

May ALLAH grant us Tawfiq. Ameen.

Imam Fakhruddin Owaisi
