Understanding Witir Prayer
Witir Prayer, also known as Tahujjud Prayer, is a voluntary prayer that is performed after Isha prayer and before Fajr prayer. It is usually performed in sets of one or three Rakat. The Witir Prayer is considered to be one of the most important prayers in Islam, as it is believed to be a way of seeking closeness to God. It is also believed that the Witir Prayer can bring about spiritual and material blessings.
The Witir Prayer is composed of reciting the Qur’an and performing supplications. It is recommended to perform the Witir Prayer in a quiet place, with a calm mind and a sincere heart. The Witir Prayer is usually performed in the last third of the night, as this is the time when the gates of heaven are believed to be open and the prayers are most likely to be accepted.

After this, the believer should perform the Rakat by bowing, prostrating, and standing. During the Rakat, the believer should recite the supplications that are prescribed in the Islamic tradition.
