“Allah Witr hai (Aik) aur Witr ko pasand karta hai, is liye Witr padho.”
(Sunan Abu Dawood)

Matlab: Witr ko apnana Sunnat-e-Muakkadah hai; Hanafi fiqh ke nazdeek ye wajib ke darje ke qareeb maana gaya hai.

Witr Namaz Kitni Rak‘at Hoti Hai?

• Hanafi fiqh: 3 rak‘at Witr (wajib) — continuous (saath) padi jaati hai.
• Shafi‘i, Hanbali, Maliki: Witr odd rak‘at (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) — tareeqa thoda alag hota hai.

Is post me hum Hanafi method (3 rak‘at) ko detail me samjhayenge.

Niyyat (Intention) of Witr

Urdu/Arabic me (example):
“Main niyyat karta hoon teen rak‘at Witr Namaz Allah ke liye, muh mera Qiblah Shareef ki taraf.”

Hinglish Transliteration:
Niyyat karta hoon main teen rak‘at Witr ki, Allah ke liye, wajah Allah ke liye, Qiblah ki taraf.

2. Sana padhen:
   Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabaarakasmuka wa ta‘aala jadduka wa la ilaaha ghairuk
   (Translation: “O Allah! You are pure, all praise is Yours, blessed is Your name, exalted is Your majesty and none is worthy of worship besides You.”)
3. Surah al-Fatiha padhen.

4. Salam na pheren — seedha khade ho jaayein teesri rak‘at ke liye.

Teesri Rak‘at (Special Rak‘at)

‘alayka wa nuthnee ‘alaykal khayra kullahu nashkuruka wa laa nakfuruka wa nakhla‘
u wa natruku man yafjuruk. Allahumma iyyaka na‘budu wa laka nusalli wa nasjudu wa ilayka nas‘aa
wa nahfidu wa narju rahmataka wa nakhsha ‘adhaabaka inna ‘adhaabaka bil kuffari mulhaq.

(Translation: “O Allah! We seek Your help, ask Your forgiveness, believe in You, rely upon You, and we praise You for all goodness. We are grateful to You and not ungrateful. We abandon the disobedient. O Allah! You alone we worship, for You we pray and prostrate. To You we strive. We hope for Your mercy and fear Your punishment… ”)

Takbeer-e-Qunoot aur Dua ke baad normal ruku/sujood karein. Phir Qa‘dah Akheera me At-Tahiyyat, Durood Ibrahim aur masnoon duas padhen, phir Assalaamu ‘alaikum (daayen phir baayen) se namaz khatm karein.

Namaz ke Aakhri Ashaar (Qa‘dah Akheera)

1. At-Tahiyyat (Arabic)

At-Tahiyyat (Tashahhud)
Arabic:

اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ لِلّٰهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلٰى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِينَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

Transliteration:
Attahiyyaatu Lillaahi wassalawaatu wattayyibaat,
Assalaamu ‘alaika ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,
Assalaamu ‘alainaa wa ‘alaa ‘ibaadillaahis-saaliheen.
Ash-hadu allaa ilaaha illallaah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhoo wa rasooluh.

Meaning :
“Sab izzat, ibadat aur paak cheezein Allah ke liye hain. Salam ho aap par (ai Nabi ﷺ), aur Allah ki rahmat aur barkat. Salam ho hum par aur Allah ke nek bandon par. Main gawahi deta hoon ke Allah ke siwa koi maabood nahi, aur Muhammad ﷺ Allah ke bande aur Rasool hain.”

2. Durood Ibrahim (Arabic)

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلٰى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلٰى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.
اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلٰى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلٰى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلٰى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

Transliteration:
Allaahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammad,
kamaa sallaita ‘ala Ibraaheema wa ‘ala aali Ibraaheem,
innaka Hameedum Majeed.
Allaahumma baarik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammad,
kamaa baarakta ‘ala Ibraaheema wa ‘ala aali Ibraaheem,
innaka Hameedum Majeed.

Meaning:
“Ya Allah! Rahmat bhej Muhammad ﷺ aur unki aulad par, jaise Tu ne Ibrahim (A.S) aur unki aulad par bheji. Tu tareef ke laayak aur buzurg hai. Ya Allah! Barkat ata farma Muhammad ﷺ aur unki aulad ko, jaise Tu ne Ibrahim (A.S) aur unki aulad ko di. Tu tareef ke laayak aur buzurg hai.

Witr Namaz Kab Padhi Jaye?

• Waqt: Isha ke baad se Fajr ki azan se pehle.
• Agar aap Tahajjud padte hain to Witr ko Tahajjud ke baad akhir me padh sakte hain.
• Hanafi practice me Tahajjud wale bhi Witr ko aakhri namaz rakhte hain.

Witr Namaz Ki Fazilat (Hadith Se)

• “Witr haqq hai, jo padhe bina na soye.” — Musnad Ahmad
• “Witr tumhari namazon ka akhri hissa banao.” — Bukhari, Muslim
• Agar shak ho ke Fajr se pehle uth nahi paayenge to Isha ke baad hi Witr padhen.
