Vitr prayers are basically a part of Tahajjud’s prayers. Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: You will perform the last Vitr of your night prayer.īukhari H / 943, Muslim H / 1245. And whoever is interested in performing Qiyam on the last night, let him perform the Witr prayer on the last night. Because the angels attended last night’s prayer. The person who fears that he will not be able to get up for the supererogatory prayers on the last night should perform the Vitr prayers in the early part of the night. Narrated from Jabir (R), he said, the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, It has been proved in Sahih Hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sometimes offered the Witr prayer in the first part of the night, sometimes in the second part, and most of the time in the last part.Īyesha (R) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered the Witr prayer in every part of the night It became his habit to recite Vitr in the early part of the night, in the middle of the night and then at the end of the night.īukhari, Chapter Juma H / 941. Muslim, Chapter: Musafir’s Prayer H / 1231.

However, it is better to collect it on the last night, i.e.

The time for Vitr prayers is from the time of Esha prayers till the time of Fajr. Perform this prayer in the middle of that time As mentioned earlier in the hadith narrated by Khareja Ibn Hudhafa (R). Many hadiths have been narrated about the importance and virtue of Vitr prayer. Here are some of them:ġ) Khareja Ibn Hudhafa (R) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) once came to us and said: Surely Allah Ta’ala has blessed them with a prayer. It is better for you than a red camel. That is the Vitr prayer. It is time for him to perform this prayer. Determined, from the time of Asr prayers until the dawn of Fajr. O Allah, dress us with the beauty of Faith, and make us guides who are upon (correct) guidance.Vitr means odd. And Vitr prayers mean odd prayers Which is basically one rak’ah. Because no prayer is odd without adding one Rakat Rasulullah (sm) said, Nafl prayer of the night is two Then when one of you fears the dawn, let him recite one rak’ah Which will make all the previous naafil prayers witr.īukhari H / 990 Muttafaq alaih, Mishkat H / 1254. I ask You for the delight of gazing upon Your Face and the joy of meeting You without any harm and misleading trials befalling me. I ask You for pleasure after Your Judgment and I ask You for a life of coolness after death. I ask you for blessings never ceasing and the coolness of my eye (i.e.

I ask You for moderation in wealth and in poverty. I ask you for the word of truth in times of contentment and anger. O Allah, I ask You to grant me fear of You in private and in public. Translation O Allah, by Your Knowledge of the unseen and by Your Power over creation, let me live if You know that life is good for me, and let me die if You know that death is good for me.
