My respectable brothers and sisters in Islam, Ishaa prayer is fast approaching, so let get ourselves prepare with joy, cleanliness and humility to prostrate ourselves for Almighty Allah.
In Islam, after performing the obligatory deeds, one of the best ways of drawing closer to Allah is by performing voluntary good deeds. So therefore (after) performing Ishaa prayer, one can perform 2 sunnah rakats, and (before) Ishaa (there is no) Sunnah Prayer to be performed for Ishaa.
My Brothers and Sisters, Witr Prayer is one of the greatest acts of worship that draws one closer to Allah.
It can be performed by praying 1 rakat only, 3 rakats continuously (with one Tashahud and Salam on the last Rakat) or 2 rakats and after Salam you pray 1 rakat on it own and say Salam.
Witr prayer is a confirmed sunnah (Sunnah Mu'akkadah) which the Muslim should observe regularly and not neglect. Imam Ahmad (May Allah have mercy on him) said: "whoever neglects Witr is a bad man whose testimony should not be accepted. This indicates that Witr prayer is something that is confirmed
May Allah help us to perform our Salaah well.
