About Nafl
Nafl prayers include the sunnah prayers that go with the five daily prayers, the night prayer, and the two rak'ahs on entering a mosque. They are not required, but they bring extra reward and make up for gaps in the obligatory acts. A person chooses how much to do according to their ability.
