It was Nafl for him but made Fard upon us so that on the day of resurrection: our accounting

(for sins and rewards) is made easy for us; we are saved from the fire of hell and granted

salvation from the great agitation that will take place on that day; and finally, that we removeourselves from out self conceited pride and we specially humble ourselves for the sake of

Allah.

Isha

The first to pray Isha Salah was Sayyiduna Musa alayhis salam, when he was returning from

the Madayin[2] and He forgot his way. He was overcome by 4 problems:

1. Sadness due to separation from his wife2. Worry for his children3. Anxiety of behalf of his Brother4. Concern of being captured by Firawn.

When Allah granted him salvation from all his worries, he prayed 4 Rakah Nafl Salah which

has been made Fard upon us so that Allah also shows us the path [to salvation]; that He

blesses us in our works; that He grants us union with our beloveds, and grant us victory over

our enemies.
