The Reality of 17 Rak‘ahs in ‘Isha Prayer | عشاء کی 17 رکعات کی حقیقت JAVED AHMAD GHAMIDI

This explanation clarifies a common misunderstanding about the 17 rak‘ahs often associated with ‘Isha prayer. Ghamidi explains that ‘Isha itself is only 4 farz (obligatory) rak‘ahs. The remaining rak‘ahs—2 sunnah before/after, 2 nafl, 3 witr, and optional nafl—are not all compulsory. Over time, due to emphasis in communal practice and teaching, people began to perceive the total (17) as a fixed religious requirement, whereas Islam clearly distinguishes between farz (obligatory) and nafl/sunnah (voluntary or emphasized practice). The Qur’an establishes farz prayers, while the Prophet ﷺ encouraged additional prayers for spiritual excellence, not obligation. Turning recommended acts into binding rules creates unnecessary burden and distorts the religion’s balance. Ghamidi stresses that leaving nafl or sunnah does not invalidate prayer, nor does it make a person sinful—faith is built on clarity, not exaggeration. اسلام میں اصل مطلوب فرض کی ادائیگی ہے، نفل و سنت حسنِ عمل ہیں، جبر نہیں۔ دین آسانی چاہتا ہے، اضافے نہیں۔ ✨ Follow Official Platforms: ► Official Website — https://www.javedahmadghamidi.com ► Facebook —   / javedahmadghamidi   ► Instagram —   / javedghamidi   ► X (Twitter) — https://x.com/JavedGhamidi ► YouTube —    / @javedghamidiofficial   #ghamidi #gcil #javedahmedghamidi #IshaPrayer #17Rakahs #FarzAurNafl #IslamicClarity #EaseInReligion #JavedAhmedGhamidi #Ghamidi #GCIL
