It’s a sunnah to make up the Witr prayer if missed. Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) missed Witr due to sickness or oversleeping he would pray it the next day. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said,” Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) missed Witr because of illness or sleep he would pray twelve Rak’at the next day.”
Most of the time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform eleven rak’ah. Therefore if something causes a person to miss eleven rak’ah for witr, he should add a rak’ah. This is the sunnah. He makes it up during the day, but with an even number of rak’ah. He doesn’t pray the odd number. He adds an extra rak’ah following the sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Hence if it’s the person’s norm to pray three rak’at at night with one tasleem, the next day he would pray four with two tasleems. Also if it’s a person’s norm to pray five rak’at for witr at night the next day he prays six with three tasleems.Moreover if it’s a person’s norm to pray seven rak’at at night for the witr prayer the next day he would pray eight rak’ah with four tasleems. If a person normally prays eleven rak’at like the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and misses witr, the next day he prays twelve rak’at with six tasleems. And if a person practices thirteen rak’at for witr at night and misses them, the next day he prays fourteen rak’at with seven tasleem and this practice is the best. This action is supererogatory not an obligation. May Allah reward you.
 
I highly recommend to pray taraweeh. I havent really been doing it in the past year but I have been going every day this year and inshallah I will try to keep going every day. I dont know what you do with your time, but for me it gives me a feeling of satisfaction that Im putting my time to good use praying taraweeh. It takes a little long, but Im a young lad and there are many older people that probably have a harder time with it than I do and I take example from these people.

Wa Alekum Asalam wa Rahmatul Allahi wa Barakatuh

Imam Abu Hanifah is of the opinion that Witr prayer is wajib (obligatory). As for the majority of Muslim scholars, they opine that Witr is a highly recommended Sunnah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) answered the one who asked him how many prayers Almighty Allah made obligatory on him saying: “Allah has prescribed five prayers in the day and the night.” The questioner said, “Am I obliged to do more?” He said: “No, unless you perform supererogatory prayers.” The man went away saying: “By Allah, I will not increase or decrease beyond these obligatory prayers.” Then, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “He would succeed if he did what he said.”
 
I've highlighted the relevant part :hmm:
Mufti Ebrahim said:
At the background of the above, you should have the courage to make up for your previous years of missed fardh salats from the time you became baligh (physically matured). That is generally around the age of fifteen. Therefore, you will have to make up for approximately fifteen years of farz and witr salats. An easy way of doing that is perform at least one missed fardh salat with each of the present fardh salat and witr salat. Inshallah, in fifteen years time, you would cover up all your missed salats. If you have more time, you could increase performing your missed salats. If you die while making up for your past, Inshallah, Allah will forgive you. You should also make wasiyyat (bequest) to pay fidya for each missed farz and witr salat if you did not make qaza. The amount payable for each missed farz and witr salat is the amount of sadaqatul-Fitr. You cannot deliberately leave out the Qadha Salaat and chose to pay fidya instead. Fidya is only if by chance you were unable to make Qadha as in a life and death situation.

And Allah knows best

Can u confirm me if it's recommended to recite the whole Quran in Tarawee ? Here Imams recite Quran so fast that it's hard to understand what they are saying .

It's not recomemended to recite the whole Qur'an in Taraweeh.

It's common here to finish the whole Quran on 27th Ramadan . it's called khatame Quran ( completing the full Quran).

In my place Muslims are suggested to recite Qur'an one Juz in one night, and completing this recitation (khatam) in the 30th night.

yes in the mosque I go to we read 1 Juz or sometimes 1 and half Juz - so that it can be finished on 27th - near or on the night of power.
