i thought as a lot of us ppl have a lot of confusion about how to pray , so i thought i may as well start it....i dunno if there was one b4....cuz i neva duna search....but still....its a fresh start :okay:

rite ma first question is dat is salatul witr compulsory....i read it at da bak of a qaidah dat once u miss it, u v to re-do it ....i usually do dem prayers...but sumtimes wen it gets 11:45 pm, i feel too lazy to do em...jus read da fard n go to bed...in dat case it is compulsory to make it up

my mum has instilled a deep fear in my heart to always pray

isha fard, 2 rakaat sunnot, and 3 rakaat witr

i forgot why but the fear remains

seriously, is it only fard for isha thats absolutely compulsary, is it ok to miss the witr and sunnah of isha?

the witr are obligatory prayers sis..

Yep u have 2 pray witr but i would advise praying all the namaz/prayer because that increase your deen does it not...

And Allah swt knows best.

Assalamu alaikum

Until recently, i was under the impression that the 3 rakah witr was part of the isha salah.. but this is not so. The witr salah is salah prayed AFTER Isha salah.

For Isha salah to be complete, you have to pray 4 rakah fardh. Although there are only 4 fardh, i would not say it is okey to miss the sunnah rakahs (4 before the fardh and 2 rakah after) as to be part of the Prophet's ummah you have to follow his sunnah.

Witr salah is waajib. Waajib is an act extremely close to fardh but not made compulsory like the fardh.

Ma'assalama

hold on..are you guys saying that after my isha it's wajib for me to make salatul witr? How come i've never heard of this? And can someoen please bring a daleel?

ye it duz, if i eva miss even 2 rakaat nawwafil ma mum switches as me but i like it wen she duz that .

hmm... who reads nawwafil while at college/school??

just thought these would benifit bros and sis's

yes...but lyk is it sort of compulsary wen t is l8 at nite....n say ur very sleepy

you can pray it from isha time until fajr time, and if someone is sleepy i dont think there is info on that, but everyone has free will, and i would advise praying over sleeping anyday...
