Witr is a significant voluntary prayer in Islam, typically offered after the Isha prayer and before dawn. Its performance involves a specific number of Rak’ahs (units of prayer), concluded with supplication. The precise method of performing it varies according to different schools of thought within Islamic jurisprudence.
This prayer holds a special place due to its emphasis on seeking closeness to the Divine and invoking blessings. Traditionally, it is seen as a means to strengthen one’s connection with God, seek forgiveness, and express gratitude. Throughout history, its consistent practice has been encouraged as a means of spiritual purification and advancement.
