Assalamu alaykum

I hope i have posted this in the right place insha'allah.
Okay my question is regarding sunnah prayers and if something similar to this was posted i apologize. The thing is i pray my sunnah BUT not the full. What i mean is like you know for dhuhur prayer i only pray 2 rak'ah sunnah after..Whereas some ppl pray 4 rak'ah so my question is do i have to pray the full 4 rak'ah or is okay that i just pray the two cause i know that i wont be able to pray the 4 rak'ah all the time so i jsut wanna stick with something that i will be able to do all the tym insha'allah. I hope i made sense.

wa alaikom assalam

sunnah ratibah is as follows

2 before fajr
4 before dhahr 2 after
2 after maghreb
2 after Isha

12 rakas in total. If you pray them all the time, Allah will build a house for you in paradise as the prophet s.A.a.w said. So, it's better to pray them as they also make up for the shortcomings of the fardh prayer in case one did not do it with concenration all the time. You know one might pray but he may only get 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 the reward or simply non as the prophet s.A.a.w said. However, it's not a sin if you leave it.

One last this to say, it is recommended to leave sunnah ratibah during travel except the fajr sunnah.
