Sunnah Prayers - Sunnah of the Obligatory Prayers

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) told us: “The first thing the people would be accountable for on the Day of Judgement will be prayer, Allah (SWT) will say to His angels: ‘Look at my servant’s fardh prayers. Were they complete or not?’. If they were complete, it would be written as complete. If they were not fully complete, Allah will say to the angels: ‘See if my servant has sunnah prayers’. If he has them, Allah will say: ‘Complete his obligatory prayers shortage with his voluntary prayers.’ Then the rest of his deeds will be dealt with in the same manner.” - Ahmad, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi

Sunnah Prayers - Salatul Duha

Salatul Duha is an often neglected salah hence the tag 'the forgotten prayer'. It is attributed numerous names such as the Sunrise Prayer, the Victory Prayer or the Morning prayer to name but a few. This prayer should not to be confused with Fajr (the dawn prayer which is obligatory) as Salatul Duha remains a recommended sunnah prayer. Salatul Duha is a prized prayer and while it isn't compulsory, (the benefits which we will discuss) of just two rakahs of it make it worthwhile.
