<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) The Sunnah of the Zhuhr prayer is two or four Rak‘ahs before it and two Rak‘ahs after it.<br> 2) He who regularly offers four Rak‘ahs before the Zhuhr and two Rak‘ahs after it will get a great reward.<br> Note:<br> According to the Prophet’s guidance, we ought to offer supererogatory prayers at home, even though some people believe that it is better to perform them in the mosque, given the noble status of the place. What is better and preferable, however, is to adhere to the Prophet’s Sunnah and example - {And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided.}
