Sunnah & voluntary prayers

Turn on Voluntary prayers and the prayer times page grows one quiet line under each obligatory prayer: “Before 4 rak‘at · After 2 rak‘at”, in the order they are prayed. Duha follows sunrise and carries a window rather than a time; Tahajjud, Shaf‘ and Witr close the day in a block of their own. The point is what they are not: they live in a separate journal, so a day without Duha is not a gap, nothing here ever enters the make-up ledger, and no voluntary prayer can break — or inflate — an obligatory streak. Statistics follow the same rule: obligatory prayers are measured as a rate, voluntary ones as a volume. You will never see a percentage next to a sunnah.

  • The eight rawatib, named before and after each obligatory prayer
  • Duha anchored to sunrise, with its window — not a fixed time
  • Night prayers as their own block: Tahajjud · Shaf‘ · Witr
  • A separate ledger — a missed sunnah is never recorded as missed
  • Counted in rak‘at and days, never as a percentage of a duty
  • Hide a whole family — rawatib, daytime or night — in one switch
  • Off by default: turn it on the day it helps you, not before
How it works

How it works


  1. 01

    Turn them on

    Prayer settings → Voluntary prayers. The five obligatory prayers are untouched; nothing else in the app changes.

  2. 02

    Read them in place

    Each obligatory prayer carries its sunnah on one line, before and after, in the order they are prayed.

  3. 03

    Log what you offered

    In Tracking, tick the ones you prayed and set the rak‘at for Duha, Tahajjud and Witr. What you leave blank stays blank.

FAQ

Questions about this feature


Will skipping a sunnah count against me?

Never. Voluntary prayers have their own journal and there is no way to record one as “missed”. They add up; they are never claimed back.

Why does Duha show a period instead of a time?

Because it is a window, not an appointment: it opens shortly after sunrise and closes before the sun reaches its zenith. EsSiraj shows both ends so you can choose your moment.

How many rak‘at are the rawatib?

Twelve confirmed rak‘at across the day — two before Fajr, four before and two after Dhuhr, two after Maghrib, two after Isha. The app shows each one on the line of the prayer it accompanies.
