Question

Why Are the Four Rak’a before ’Asr Called None Emphasized?

Shaykh Abdul-Rahim will elucidate the criteria for a voluntary prayer to be considered emphasized (Sunna Mu’akkada) and will enumerate them for us in order of importance.

Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat pursued Arabic Grammar and Morphology alongside his English and History degree. Post-graduation, he deepened his studies in Damascus, learning Arabic, Hanafi Fiqh, Theology, and more under notable scholars like Shaykh Adnan Darwish and Shaykh Rashad Shams. He continued in Amman, expanding into Tafsir, Hadith, Prophetic Biography, and other Islamic sciences, guided by teachers such as Shaykh Ali Hani and Dr. Hamza al-Bakri.
