Jazakallah for the explanation. Indeed helped me a lot. But can u clear this thought i had known that its not that compulsory to stick one fiqh. Atleast once a life time we need to follow all other fiqhs. Please support your answer with an authentic and trustworthy explanation since this matters me a lot.

Akhy,

Follow the Qur'an and Sunnah and the rightly guided scholars who follow the same and who do not introduce bidah into the din.

All of the imams of the mathabin are correct because that's what they do. �They simply have different interpretations and ways of following, which are all according to the Qur'an and Sunnah.

As Salaan Sign Reader, All the video said was it performed like Zuhr prayer, which doesn't help me becuase i still don't know the basic of Fard and Sunnah, but i think i am beginning to understand it a little better.  all these other terms and schools of thought  boggle my mind.  it sometimes seems there is nothing simple in Islam

Salaam:Kay
The Witr literally means "odd number" sunnah prayer with a special supplication in it's third rakkat and yes it  is of  3 rakkats, as your video says and I hope it also explains how to do it. If not write back please.

Keep it simple

Senekerk,

If you are not performing the 5 daily compulsory prayers, do not worry about praying salatul witr. �First, learn about and be in a habit of praying the 5 daily prayers, then the sunnah of each fard, then witr.

Salaam Kay: I don't know which video you have, which makes (Witr=3 rakahs) like, Zuhr which is 4 rakahs.

It would be like Mughrib prayer with add on to the third rakah a surah and a supplication.

OK Kay let's get the Fard and sunnah prayer defined.

Fard means compulsory and sunnah prayer are supererogatory ones.

I believe I have previously posted links for the methods.
I see your question in the Islam for non Muslim section, that begs the question
have you done the reversion to Islam i.e., Shahadah or not?

You don't need to concern yourself school of thought at this stage, take these steps in stages to keep it simple.
I will concur with knowledge01.

Signreader, No I have not reverted to Islam yet. I know the dfifference between fard and sunnah.

Let me see if I can understand":

 

The first Rakah would be fard. This includes the Niyyah,the Takbir,and the Qiaah Then repeat the Takbir, place hands on knees recite Subhanna rabbiy al azeem, then Sami allaahliman hamidah. Then perform Sujid.

 You repeat this and after the second prostration in Sujid you recite the Tashahhud, then Taslim

This would be 2 fard. without the sunna

The tape is the one  I found on the IslamiCity site, I bought the iPod with the Quran, Salat and other stuff on it from the IslamiCity site.

Since you have not reverted to Islam yet, you should only be studying the meaning of "la ilaha illa Allah wa anna Muhammadur Rasulullah". �You study the five pillars of islam and learn how to pray after you have said your shahadah.

My dear brother, I see nothing wrong with study all of Islam  prior to reverting.  If I am going to make that major of  a decision in my life that will affect everything and everyone around me I want to know all there is to know.  I suppose since I have prayed the Salat with my video several times and I have prayed theTashahud I am a Muslim, but that is not official yet.

Kay
