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] |
Chafa'a Prayer
Chafa'a ( ar, شَفْعٌ) 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 B ...

Fajr Nafl Prayer
Fajr nafl prayer ( ar, رَغِيبَةُ الْفَجْرِ ; ''dawn supererogatory prayer'') is an Islamic prayer (''salat'') that is performed after the second adhan of dawn and before '' Fajr'' (dawn-time prayer). Presentation The supererogatory or optional dawn prayer is a pair of rakats which are offered to ''God'' (''Allah'') Almighty just before performing the obligatory Fajr prayer which is ''fard''. This nafilah is considered by Muslim jurists ('' fuqaha'') to be a ', and it represents the beginning of the daytime prayers of the ''Muslim'' day, while the Witr is the closing of the nighttime prayers just after the Chafa'a prayer. This ''Fajr nafilah'' is included in the prayers of '' regular Nafl prayers (ar - صلاة النافلة)'', which are the ''Sunnah prayers'' that follow the five obligatory prayers ( ar, الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسَةُ).

Salah Times
Salah times are prayer times when Muslims perform ''salah''. 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 of worshippers. Muslims believe the salah times were taught 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 five times a day, with their prayers being known as Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (afternoon), Asr (late afternoon), Maghrib (after 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 before this ...

In other words, the ḥadīth are transmitted reports attributed to what Muhammad said and did. Hadith have been called by some as "the backbone" of Islamic civilization, J.A.C. Brown, ''Misquoting Muhammad'', 2014: p.6 and for many the authority of hadith as a source for religious law and moral guidance ranks second only to that of the Quran (which Muslims hold to be the word of God revealed to Muhammad). Most Muslims believe that scriptural authority for hadith comes from the Quran, which enjoins Muslims to emulate Muhammad and obey his judgements (in verses such as , ).
