Would you like to build a houses in Jannah

Wouldn't you like to build a house in Jannah?

Umm Habiba, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (and her name is Ramlah daughter of Abu Sufyan and the sister of Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan the Kaliph, May Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَلِّي لِلَّهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعًا غَيْرَ فَرِيضَةٍ إِلاَّ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ إِلاَّ بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏"
 قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ فَمَا بَرِحْتُ أُصَلِّيهِنَّ بَعْدُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو مَا بَرِحْتُ أُصَلِّيهِنَّ بَعْدُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ النُّعْمَانُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏
It means: [If any Muslim servant (of Allah) prays for the sake of Allah twelve rak'ahs (of Sunan) every day, over and above the obligatory ones, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise, or a house will be built for him in Paradise (i.e. that's she heard the prophet saying either Allah will build for him or will be built for him)

Umm Habibah said  I have not abandoned observing after (hearing it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ), so said also 'Amr and Nu'man.] Narrated by Muslim 

Just think for a moment how hard people struggle in this world to buy a house that is not even guaranteed to deliver happiness to them.  I recently heard of someone who worked hard for years in North America and finally completed the building of a nice house in Ethiopia but died while he was planning to move in soon.  Another Canadian person worked for some thirty years for a good pay, took little vacation saving it for his retirement, and invested his money in one of the investment offers within his company and when he was near retirement he had about a million dollars in his investment and several months of vacation he didn't take; He wanted to go into retirement earlier and travel the world with the vacation he saved.  He got his trip plan ready and purchased his airline tickets but died before he could ever realize his dream.  You have no guarantee in life so why not get accustomed to adhere to the advice of Allah's messenger, and how much time and effort it takes to pray the 12 rak'ah of the sunnah of the obligatory prayers.  If you are not accustomed and never made a habit you will struggle until it becomes a habit and then you will start feeling shy and guilty within if you leave them. At least start with the 2 Raka'ha before Subh and make a habit of it and slowly build yourself.

'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying: 

"‏ رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا ‏"‏

[The two rak'ahs at dawn are better than this world and what it contains. ]  

Narrated by Muslim.  And this is the 2 Raka'h you pray before the subh (dawn) prayer.

Also, it was narrated in At-Tarmidy from the rout of Umm Habibah that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

"‏ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ ‏" 

"Whoever prays twelve Rak'ah in a day and night, a house will be built for him in Paradise: Four Rak'ah before Duhr, two Rak'ah after it, two Rak'ah after Maghrib, two Rak'ah after Isha, and two Rak'ah before Fajr in the morning Salat."

Moreover,It was narrated that Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ ثَابَرَ عَلَى اثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ ‏"‏ ‏

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever persists in praying twelve rak'ahs each day and night will enter Paradise: Four before Duhr and two after, two rak'ahs after Maghrib, two rak'ahs after Isha' and two rak'ahs before Fajr.'' Narrated by Ibn-Maajah.

So let's follow the guidance of Allah's messenger ﷺ  and the habit of the companions and the righteous once in this limited life before we regret. Pray your sunnah along with your obligation, don't go into things that don't concern your, be busy in your matters and don't be nosy about others, be merciful, think positive of others and avoid situations of conflict and fitnah, and remember in your grave you are alone and none of those with you today with be their with you, but it's your deeds that will accompany you in your grave and aid you to pass the bridge in the hereafter. 

2 before subh

4 before Duhr and 2 (You may also pray 4 before and 4 after or 2 before and 2 after as stated in other hadiths)

[Not mention in this hadith but taken from other hadith you can pray 4 (or 2) before 'Asr]

2 After Maghrib [you may pray 2 before also]

2 After 'Isha` ( you may pray 2 before also from the hadith that states that between every Adhan and Iqaamah there are 2 raka'ah)

Finally, pray 3 witr, or you can pray 3 witr immediately after 'Isha` unless you intend to pray the night prayer then delay the 3 witr raka'ah to end your night prayer

There are several Ahadith that talks about the sunnah of the five prayers a portion of that sunnah are what scholas considered as sunnah Mu`akadah.  That is the 2 before Subh, 4 before Duhr and 2 after, 2 after Maghrib and Two after 'Isha` and also witer is Sunnah Mu`akadah and Hanafis consider them Wajib and the five prayers they call them Fard, Therefore in Hannafy one must pray the witr, its considered Wajib and the five prayers are considered Fard (in Hanafi terms) and in other schools, it is highly recommended sunnah mu`akkadah.

These prayers the prophet, in spite being guaranteed Jannah never abandoned them.  

As reported by Imam Alghazali that some of the Salaf addressed some people by telling them that they are at a time where people perform deeds more than they talk and there will come people who speak more than they perform.  So strive to be among those who live Islam by action, Sunnah, Quran, going to the masjid, and beautify your manners and don't be among those who are attracted to talking while leaving the fruits of performance, or even worse focusing and argument, and negative thinking while putting little effort to exemplify the sunnah of Allah's messenger in their day to day activities.  Pray to Allah to grant you a clean tongue and a pure heart and Allah knows best.
