2. Witr prayer before going to bed
There is a misunderstanding that night prayer (circumcision prayer) and witr can only be performed in the last third of the night before Fajr.
This causes many people to become discouraged and not try to do it.
In fact the time for night prayer and witr can start after Isyak until dawn
Aisha narrated:
The Messenger of God performed the witr prayer Whatsapp Mobile Number List at every part of the night, at the beginning, middle and end of the night. However, he will finish his witr before dawn”
— Bukhari and Muslim
The truth is, it is better if one can sleep and wake up again at 3:00 in the morning to perform tahajud and witr prayers .
But if this feels heavy, I recommend that we start the night prayer (circumcision prayer other than tahajud) and witr before we go to sleep, even if it is only two rakats of circumcision prayer and three rakats of witr prayer.
Prayer before going to bed will add more relaxation and calmness before we go to sleep and make it easier for us to fall asleep.
Abu Hurairah narrated:
My friend Prophet Muhammad SAW has instructed me to do three things
Three days of fasting every month, two rakats of Dhuha Mailing Lead prayer and performing witr before going to bed.
— Muslim
