[31] Any behaviour, thought or belief commanded overtly in the Qur’ân al-kerîm is called farz (or fard, pl. farâid or farâiz). When this commandment is incumbent on every individual Muslim, it is termed farz-i-’ayn. Otherwise, i.e. if all Muslims are absolved from a certain Islamic commandment when only one Muslim performs it, it is termed farz-i-kifâya. For Islamic terms such as farz, wâjib, and sunnat, please see our other publications such as Endless Bliss, The Sunnî Path, etc.
[32] ’Âdil means a Sunnî Muslim who avoids grave sins and who does not habitually commit venial sins.

[38] Final part of the âyat-i-kerîma reads: “... But Allâhu ta’âlâ wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own nafs.” (16-33)
[39] Prayers of salât which our blessed Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sal-lam’ performed in addition to each of the obligatory (farz) five daily prayers, are termed ‘sunnat’. Islamic scholars categorize the sunnats in two groups: ‘sunnat muakkad’, which means, ‘sunnat which is emphatic and close to being farz (obligatory); and ‘sunnat ghyr-i-muakkad’ which means ‘sunnat which is not emphatic’.
