After performing the fardh (obligatory) prayers in Islam, one can either perform the Sunnah Muakkadah prayers (recommended prayers with a higher emphasis) or the Nafil prayers (voluntary prayers). The number of Sunnah Muakkadah after the fardh prayer varies depending on the time of the day. For example:
1. After the Fajr (dawn) prayer, it is recommended to perform two Rak'ahs of Sunnah Muakkadah.
2. After the Dhuhr (midday) prayer, it is recommended to perform four Rak'ahs of Sunnah Muakkadah, and an additional four Rak'ahs of Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah (non-emphasized recommended prayers).
3. After the Asr (afternoon) prayer, it is recommended to perform four Rak'ahs of Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah.
4. After the Maghrib (evening) prayer, it is recommended to perform two Rak'ahs of Sunnah Muakkadah.
5. After the Isha (night) prayer, it is recommended to perform four Rak'ahs of Sunnah Muakkadah, and two Rak'ahs of Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah.
It is important to note that Sunnah Muakkadah and Nafil prayers are voluntary acts of worship and not obligatory. However, they hold reward and spiritual significance for those who perform them.
