WHAT ARE THE FOUR TYPES OF PRAYER?

1 The First and most important is Fardh Prayer. Fardh Salat is obligatory and missing the prayer is grave sin. The 5 normal prayer fall under here

2 Wajib Salat is also obligatory and missing it also constitutes a major sin, but not as great as missing a Fardh Salat. Two rakat witr, the two rakat for the two eids respectively, and the two rakat when at the kaba

3 The next is Sunnah which is the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) practice. Now, there are two kinds of Sunnah Salat which are Muakkadah and the other is Ghair Muakkadah. The first was practiced regularly and missing it also constitutes a sin.

Some consider the two eid prayers to fall under Muakkadah, and the two rakat after maghrib as well

Ghair Muakkadah is prayers that Rasulullah (pbuh) practiced occasionally but you may or may not pray it. Ghair Muakkadah are non-emphasized sunnah IE. four rakat before dhur and other sunnah rakat

4 Nafl is the last of the four types and is voluntary. It is often prayed for extra virtue but missing it does not constitute a sin This is like tahjjud
