وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ

3. By the even (number) and odd (of the days and things)²,

2. The witr prayer is done by praying one single ra'kah (unit) or two rak'ahs and then praying one single ra'kah. You can pray up to eight rak'ah, and then end it with one single rak'ah. Praying 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11 rak'ahs for witr prayer is recommended. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) practiced it regularly and encouraged others to perform it at night after Isha (night-time prayer) or before fajr (dawn prayer). As such, praying witr comes under semi obligatory sunnah. The Prophet (ﷺ) would perform the witr prayer and say: 'O you people (followers) of the Qur'an, perform the witr prayer, for Allah is one and He loves the witr (the odd number).
