Types or Kinds of Sunnah



The Sunnahs are of two kinds:
·         Emphasized (Mu’akkadah)
·         Un-emphasized (Ghair-Mu’akkadah)
The emphasized sunnah is an act, which the Holy prophet (Peace be upon him) practiced without fail, or ordered it to be practiced regularly. In other words, it is an act which was always performed and never neglected without excuse. Giving up such acts of Sunnah without genuine reason is a sin. The un-emphasized sunnah is an act that the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) performed frequently but at times also gave it up without any reason. Practicing these Masnun acts earn greater reward than the Mustahab act, but  it is no sin to miss them. These are also known as additional Sunnah.
