The Sutiah piotects the eyes fiom wanueiing anu helps the peison focus his sight to the

Witi piayei is one of the gieatest acts of woiship that uiaws one closei to Allah. It is one of the
confiimeu Sunnahs (Sunnah mu'akkauah), which the Nuslim shoulu obseive iegulaily anu not
neglect.

Naiiateu Abu Buiaiiah: Ny fiienu (the Piophet ) auviseu me to uo thiee things anu I shall
not leave them till I uie, these aie: To fast thiee uays eveiy month, to offei the Buha piayei, anu
to offei Witi befoie sleeping. (volume 2, Book 21, Number 274)

'$) 9(116 2$"2 B,2( ,& M12 P>#,-"21(?

The fact that it is not obligatoiy is inuicateu by the Bauith naiiateu by ol-Bukboori {1891) anu
Huslim {11) fiom Talhah ibn '0bayu-Allaah (may Allah be pleaseu with him) who saiu: A man
came to the Nessengei of Allah anu saiu: "0 Nessengei of Allah, what piayeis has Allah
enjoineu on me." Be saiu: "The five piayeis, unless you uo anything voluntaiily." The veision
naiiateu by Nuslim says: "Five piayeis eveiy uay anu night." Be saiu: "Bo I have to uo anything
else.' Be saiu, "No, unless you uo it voluntaiily."

Al-Nawawi saiu: This inuicates that Witi piayei is not obligatoiy.

Al-Baafiz saiu in al-Fath: This inuicates that no piayeis uuiing the uay anu night aie obligatoiy
apait fiom the five piayeis; this is contiaiy to the view of those who say that Witi oi the two
Sunnah iak'ahs of Faji aie obligatoiy.

Witi was a iegulai piactice of the Piophet : Huslim {7S4) naiiateu fiom Abu Sa'eeu (may
Allah be pleaseu with him) that the Piophet saiu: "Peifoim Witi befoie moining comes."

Abu BowooJ {1416) naiiateu that 'Ali (may Allah be pleaseu with him) saiu: The Nessengei of
Allah saiu: "0 people of the Qui'an, piay Witi, foi Allah is 0ne anu loves that which is ouu-
numbeieu." (ClosseJ os Sobeeb by ol-Albooni in Sobeeb Abi BowooJ)

Bence we shoulu continue to offei Witi piayei iegulaily, whethei tiavelling oi not, as the
Piophet useu to uo. Al-Bukboori {1000) anu Huslim {700) naiiateu that Ibn '0mai (may
Allah be pleaseu with him) saiu: The Piophet was on a jouiney, atop his mount, whichevei
uiiection it was facing, gestuiing the motions of the night piayei, except the obligatoiy piayei,
anu he piayeu Witi atop his mount."

We moy sum up tbe monner of offerinq Witr proyer os follows:

.2& ',/,+-

It staits when a peison has piayeu Isha anu lasts until uawn begins, because the Piophet
saiu: "Allah has piesciibeu foi you a piayei (by which Be may inciease youi iewaiu), which is
Witi; Allah has enjoineu it foi you uuiing the time between Isha piayei until uawn begins."

The Sunnah inuicates that if a peison thinks he will be able to get up at the enu of the night, it is
bettei to uelay it, because piayei at the enu of the night is bettei anu is witnesseu (by the
angels). But whoevei feais that he will not get up at the enu of the night shoulu piay Witi befoie
he goes to sleep, because of the Bauith of }aabii (may Allah be pleaseu with him) who saiu: The
Nessengei of Allah saiu: "Whoevei feais that he will not get up at the enu of the night, let
him piay Witi at the beginning of the night, but whoevei thinks that he will be able to get up at
the enu of the night, let him piay Witi at the enu of the night, foi piayei at the enu of the night is
witnesseu (by the angels) anu that is bettei." (NorroteJ by Huslim, 7SS)

Al-Nawawi saiu: This is the coiiect view. 0thei Ahaueeth which speak of this topic in geneial
teims aie to be inteipieteu in the light of this sounu, specific, anu cleai iepoit, such as the
Bauith, "Ny close fiienu auviseu me not to sleep without having piayeu Witi." This is to be
unueistoou as iefeiiing to one who is not suie that he will be able to wake up (to piay Witi at
the enu of the night). (Sborb Huslim, S,277)

'$) M5/>)( 16 J"IX"$&

The minimum numbei of iak'ahs foi Witi is one iak'ah, because the Piophet saiu: "Witi is
one iak'ah at the enu of the night." (NorroteJ by Huslim, 7S2) Anu he saiu: "The night
piayeis aie two (iak'ahs) by two, but if one of you feais that uawn is about to bieak, let him
piay one iak'ah to make what he has piayeu ouu-numbeieu." (NorroteJ by ol-Bukboori, 911;
Huslim, 749) If a peison limits himself to piaying one iak'ah, then he has peifoimeu the Sunnah.
But Witi may also be thiee oi five oi seven oi nine.

If a peison piays thiee iak'ahs of Witi this may be uone in two ways, both of which aie
piesciibeu in shaiee'ah:

1. To piay the S units continuously with one tashahhuu at the enu. 'Aa'ishah (may Allah be
pleaseu with hei) who saiu: The Piophet useu not to say the tasleem in the (fiist) two
iak'ahs of Witi. Accoiuing to anothei veision: "Be useu to piay Witi with thiee iak'ahs anu
he uiu not sit except in the last of them." (NorroteJ by ol-Nosooi, S,2S4; ol-Boyboqi, S,S1. ol-
Nowowi soiJ in ol-Hojmoo {4,7): it wos norroteJ by ol-Nosooi witb o boson isnooJ, onJ by
ol-Boyboqi witb o sobeeb isnooJ)
2. To say the tasleem (salam) aftei the 2 units, anu then piay anothei unit anu enu with
tasleem. A iepoit naiiateu by Ibn '0mai (may Allah be pleaseu with him) saiu that he useu
to sepaiate the two iak'ahs fiom the single iak'ah with a tasleem, anu he saiu that the
Piophet useu to uo that. (NorroteJ by lbn Eibboon {24SS); lbn Eojor soiJ in ol-Iotb
{2,482): its isnooJ is qowiy {stronq))

But if he piays Witi with five oi seven iak'ahs, then they shoulu be continuous, anu he shoulu
only iecite one tashahhuu in the last of them anu say the tasleem, because of the iepoit naiiateu
by 'Aa'ishah (may Allah be pleaseu with hei) who saiu: The Nessengei of Allah useu to piay
thiiteen iak'ahs at night, piaying five iak'ahs of Witi, in which he woulu not sit except in the last
iak'ah. (NorroteJ by Huslim, 7S7)

Anu it was naiiateu that 0mm Salamah (may Allah be pleaseu with hei) saiu: The Piophet
useu to piay Witi with five oi seven (iak'ahs) anu he uiu not sepaiate between them with any
salaam oi woius. (NorroteJ by AbmoJ, 6,290; ol-Nosooi, 1714. ol-Nowowi soiJ: lts isnooJ is

All these ways of offeiing Witi piayei have been mentioneu in the Sunnah, but the best way is

Nost of the Ahauith anu the opinion of most of the scholais state that Qunoot comes aftei iuku',

It is bettei not to iecite qunoot in Witi all the time, iathei it shoulu be uone sometimes, because

Ibn al-Qayyim (RauiAllahu 'Anhu) saiu:

Anu mankinu, with iegaiu to theii peifoimance of piayei aie in five levels:

The Fiist: The level of the one who is negligent anu wiongs his soul: Be is the one who falls
shoit in peifoiming wuuhu piopeily, peifoiming the piayei upon its time anu within its
specifieu limits, anu in fulfilling its essential pillais.

The Seconu: The one who guaius his piayeis upon theii piopei times anu within theii specifieu
limits, fulfils theii essential pillais anu peifoims his wuuhu with caie. Bowevei, his stiiving (in
achieving the above) is wasteu uue to whispeiings in his piayei so he is taken away by thoughts
anu iueas.

The Thiiu: The one who guaius his piayeis within the specifieu limits, fulfils theii essential
pillais anu stiives with himself to iepel the whispeiings, thoughts anu iueas. Be is busy
stiuggling against his enemy (Shaytaan) so that he uoes not steal fiom the piayei. 0n account of
this he is engageu in (both) piayei anu jihau.

The Fouith: The one who stanus foi the piayei, completes anu peifects its uue iights, its
essential pillais, peifoims it within its specifieu limits anu his heait becomes engiosseu in
safeguaiuing its iights anu specifieu limits, so that nothing is wasteu fiom it. Bis whole concein
is uiiecteu towaius its establishment, its completion anu its peifection, as it shoulu be. Bis heait
is immeiseu in the piayei anu in enslavement to his Loiu the Exalteu.

The Fifth: The one who stanus foi the piayei like the one mentioneu above. Bowevei, on top of
this, he has taken anu placeu his heait in fiont of his Loiu, looking towaius Bim with his heait
with anticipation, (his heait) filleu with Bis love anu Bis might, as if he sees anu witnesses Allah.
The whispeiings, thoughts anu iueas have vanisheu anu the coveiings, which aie between him
anu his Loiu, aie iaiseu. What is between this peison anu otheis with iespect to the piayei is
supeiioi anu gieatei than what is between the heavens anu the eaith. This peison is busy with
his Loiu, uelighteu with Bim.

The Fiist type will be punisheu, the seconu type will be helu to account, the thiiu will have his
sins anu shoitcomings expiateu, the fouith will be iewaiueu anu the fifth will be close to his
Loiu, because he will ieceive the poition of the one who makes his piayei the uelight anu
pleasuie of his eye. Whoevei makes his piayei, the uelight anu pleasuie of his eye, will have the
neainess to his Loiu maue the uelight anu pleasuie of his eye in the heieaftei. Be will also be
maue a pleasuie to the eye in this woilu since whoevei makes Allah the pleasuie of his eye in
this woilu; eveiy othei eye will become uelighteu anu pleaseu with him.

So, what level aie you.
