It is stated in a Hadith Al-Qudsî, in the words of Allâh تعالــى as follows: "My slaves acquire salvation from My divine punishment with their performance of the Fardh (obligatory) prayers and they draw near to My divine pleasure with the Salat Al-Nawafil (optional prayers)”. SALÂH AL-AWWÂBÎN There are a hundred divine merits in the performance of Salâh Al-Awwâbîn. Allâh تعالــى , grants His slaves seventy- five merits in the Hereafter and twenty-five in this worldly life. Accordingly, those who continue to perform Salâh Al- Awwâbîn shall not experience any hardship on the Day of Judgement. Salâh Al-Awwâbîn is performed in six rakahs after Maghrib Salâh. SALÂH AL-DHUHÂ In the performance of Salâh Al-Dhuhâ there are also a hundred merits, seventy-five are granted by Allâh تعالــى in this world and twenty-five in the Hereafter.
