QUICK LESSONS:
Pray witr with nine rak’ahs according to Sunnah

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Aishah tells us that the Prophet Muhammad used to pray witr with nine rak’ahs and two of them sitting down. Witr is a special prayer that is performed at night after Isha prayer. It consists of an odd number of rak’ahs, usually three or more. During the prayer, Muslims stand up for some parts and sit down for others while reciting verses from the Quran or supplications to Allah. This hadith teaches us about the importance of praying witr as well as how it should be done according to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. It also encourages us to follow his example in our own prayers so that we can gain rewards from Allah Almighty.
