Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I need your kind advice, once during my childhood, I heard in a bayan if we pray 100 rakats nafl, Allah accepts our duas immediately, in one shot, in particular, Saturday night. In Islam, we don’t have Saturday night, it’s English days. Can I pray 100 rakats one shot if I have a problem in life and also to full fill my needs?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nafl salah is a type of opt<\/span>ional salah for which the person performing will receive an extra reward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is narrated by Umme Habibah that the Prophet (PBUH) has said: \u201cAny Muslim slave of Allah who prays for the sake of Allah 12 rakats every day other than the obligatory (prayers) Allah will build for him a house in Jannah.\u201d <\/span>(Sahih Muslim P.251 v.1)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is narrated by Saaidah Aaisha that the Prophet (PBUH) has said; \u201cThe two rakats (Sunnah of Fajr prayer are better than this world and what it contains.\u201d <\/span>(Sahih Muslim P251 V.1)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regarding your question one does not need to pray 100 rakats of nafl salah in order for one’s dua to get accepted immediately as Allah mentioned in the Qur\u2019an; \u201cCall upon me, I will answer you,\u201d (Surah Mu\u2019min\/Ghafir Ayah 60). From this ayah we can learn that Allah encourages his servants to call upon him regardless of how many times, and he guarantees to respond.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet (PBUH) mentioned; \u201cDua is the essence of worship\u201d. (Zaadut Taalibeen)<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three things that have been granted for this ummah which was not bestowed upon the previous nations, but only to Prophets;<\/span><\/p>\n
