The Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Allah has added a prayer for you, which is the Witr, so observe it between the ʻIsha prayer and the break of dawn."
Source: Sunan Abi Dawud 1416
The Science
Witr seals the night’s worship with an odd number of rakʻah, a beloved practice the Prophet ﷺ never abandoned and which trains the heart to end each day turning to Allah.
How to Practice
1
Pray Witr after ʻIsha and before Fajr, in an odd number (1, 3, 5…)
2
A simple form: pray two rakʻah, then one rakʻah on its own
3
Recite the duʻa of Qunut in the last rakʻah if you wish
4
Make it your final prayer of the night
