Tahajjud
Tahajjud, also known as the "night prayer", is a voluntary prayer performed by followers of Islam. It is not one of the five obligatory prayers required of all Muslims, although the Islamic prophet, Muhammad was recorded as performing the tahajjud prayer regularly himself and encouraging his companions too. Evidence in the Qur'an In Fiqh As-Sunnah, Sheikh Sayyid Sabiq elaborates on the subject of Tahajjud as follows: Evidence in hadith Next to these Qur'anic verses, there also exist a number of hadiths (narrated and confirmed traditions from Muhammad) that reinforce the importance of Tahajjud Prayer. In various hadiths, it has been mentioned as ''Qiyamul Sabah'' (standing of morning), ''Salatul Sabah'' (prayer of morning) and ''Tahajjud''. Recommended time To perform tahajjud signifies the act of rising from sleep during the night and then praying.

Sunnah Prayer
A Sunnah prayer ( ar, صلاة السنة) is an optional or supererogatory salah (ritual prayer) that can be performed in addition to the five daily salah, which are compulsory for all Muslims. Sunnah prayer have different characteristics: some are done at the same time as the five daily compulsory prayers, some are done only at certain times (e.g. late at night), or only for specific occasions (e.g. during a drought); some have their own name (e.g. ''Tahajjud'') and some are identified by how they are performed (e.g. "4 (rakat) before Zuhr and 2 after"). The length of Sunnah prayer also varies. While the five daily salah are ''wajib''/''fard'' (obligatory), Sunnah prayer (and other sunnah deeds) are ''Mustahabb'' (encouraged) -- those who perform them will earn a reward in the afterlife, but there will be no punishment for neglecting them.

Witr
Witr ( ar, وتر) is an Islamic prayer (''salat'') that is performed at night after ''Isha'' (night-time prayer) or before '' fajr'' (dawn prayer). Witr has an odd number of '' raka'at'' prayed in pairs, with the final raka'ah prayed separately. Therefore, as little as one ''raka'ah'' can be prayed, and eleven at most. Most Hanafis pray 3 raka'ah with dua qunoot in the third ''raka'ah''. According to Abdullah ibn Umar, Muhammad said, "The night prayer is offered as two raka'at followed by two raka'at and so on and if anyone is afraid of the approaching dawn (fajr prayer), he should pray one raka'ah and this will be a witr for all the raka'at which he has prayed before." In a ''hadith'' transmitted by Abu Darda, he states that Muhammad enjoined to him three things: to fast three days every month, to offer the witr salat before sleep, and to offer two raka'at sunnah for fajr. But there are many ''aḥādīth'' that show the best time for the witr salat to be at night. If someo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
