EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised Muslims to make their last prayer of the night a witr. A witr is an odd-numbered prayer that is performed after Ishaa and before Fajr. It is usually performed in three rakats but can be done in any odd number up to eleven rakats. This hadith encourages Muslims to perform this special prayer as it will bring them closer to Allah and help them gain rewards from Him. Additionally, it serves as a reminder for Muslims that they should always end their day with worshiping Allah and seeking His forgiveness for any wrongdoings they may have committed throughout the day.

The Prophet ﷺ also taught us that we should strive for consistency in our prayers so that we can reap its full benefits and become better believers. By making sure that we perform our witrs regularly, we are able to stay connected with Allah even when our days are busy or filled with distractions from worldly matters. Furthermore, performing this special prayer at night helps us start off each new day on a positive note by reminding ourselves of our purpose in life - worshipping Allah alone - and striving towards achieving His pleasure through all our actions throughout the day ahead of us.
