Chafa'a
Shafa'a () is an Islamic prayer (''salat'') that is performed at night after '' Isha'' (night-time prayer) or before ''Witr'' (odd or imparity prayer). Presentation The term ''Chafa'a'' is cited in the Quran into the '' Āyah 3'' of '' Surah Al-Fajr'': Recitation It is desirable (''mustahabb'') in the ''Chafa'a prayer'' to recite the qiraat and tilawa of Surat Al-Fatiha and the surah that follows it in a loud voice like a , just as it is desirable to recite Surat Al-Ala in the first ''rak'ah'', then recite Surat Al-Kafirun in the second ''rak'ah''. The ''jurists'' have relied on the ''loudness'' and the ''silence'' in the ''Chafa'a prayer'', as well as the ''Witr prayer'', which is part of the law of God, which requires that the recitation be in the entire night prayer, including Chafa'a and Witr, sometimes loudly and sometimes in silence. This jurisprudential opinion was based on the prophetic ''hadith'' narrated by the Mother of the Believers Aisha bint Abi Bakr in the Su ...

Witr
Witr () 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. According to Abdullah ibn Umar, Muhammad: "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 told him to do three things: to fast three days every month, to offer the witr salat before sleep, and to offer two raka'at sunnah for fajr. There is a ''hadith'' that says that the best time for the witr salat is at night, and that those who fear that they will not be able to awake, or may die in their sleep, should perform the prayer before sleeping.

Salah Times
Salat times are prayer times when Muslims perform ''salat''. The term is primarily used for the five daily prayers including the Friday prayer, which takes the place of the Dhuhr prayer and must be performed in a group. Muslims believe the salah times were revealed by Allah to Muhammad. Prayer times are standard for Muslims in the world, especially the fard prayer times. They depend on the condition of the Sun and geography. There are varying opinions regarding the exact salah times, the schools of Islamic thought differing in minor details. All schools of thought agree that any given prayer cannot be performed before its stipulated time. Muslims pray a minimum of five times a day, with their fard (obligatory) prayers being known as Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (noon), Asr (late afternoon), Maghrib (at sunset), and Isha (nighttime), always facing towards the Kaaba. The direction of prayer is called the qibla; the early Muslims initially prayed in the direction of Jerusalem b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
