During the Isha prayer, they pray the two rakats of nafl after the two sunnah mu'akkadah and wajib prayers. [51] There are many specific conditions or situations when one may wish to offer nafl prayers. They cannot be offered at sunrise, true noon, or sunset. The prohibition against salah at these times is to prevent the practice of sun worship. [52] Some Muslims offer voluntary prayers immediately before and after the five prescribed prayers.
