In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Salaat-ul-Witr
by Irshad Mahmood - Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
We Must Come out of BLINDLY Believing:
When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that has sent down, they say: nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following). What if it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing) Fire? [Al_Quraan_031.021]
Allah
wants us to be United Perfectly:
If
you DIFFER
in
anything (Faith,
Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat,
Hajj, etc.) amongst yourself, then REFER
to Allah and
his Messenger,
if you really
believe
in Allah and
in the Last Day.
That is better and more suitable for determinations. [Al_Quraan_004.059]
Weather
you believe or not, our Foundation
(Worshipping
Method)
is widely divided
into several sects.
Not only every group, believing on, that they are right, BUT
every person practically believe that he is right, and perfect, so he
is acting
accordingly.
Check your Faith, Kalimah, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc (Every Act including Worship). Think again, why you are different from other Muslims. First see yourself, may be you are not Correct.
Only No Innovations, No Additions or Subtractions in our Faith, Kalimah, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc. will brought us to Perfect Unity.
Cross
Marriage between Arabs and Non-Arabs might be very helpful to come
closer.
Salaat-ul-Witr is
one, single Rakaat, before going to bed.
Before Witr prayer, you need to pray at least two Rakaat Sunnah Prayer.
Al_Qunoot (Special Invocation) for a Calamity and When it is to be said:
It is from Sunnah that Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) performs a special invocation, and supplicates for the Muslims when some calamity strikes them.
It is
to be said after the
bowing (rukoo’), after he has said:
Duaa Qunoot:
'Allahhumma Inna Nastainooka Wa Nastaghfiruka Wa Noo Minoo Bikaa Wa Natawakkaloo Alaika Wa Nusnee Alaikal Khaira Kullahoo Wa Nashkoorooka Walaa Nakfoorooka Wa Nakhlaoo Wa Natrookoo Maiyn Yaf Joorook. Allahhumma Iyaa Kaanaa Boodoo Walaka Nusallee Wa Nasjoodoo Wa Ilaika Nas Aa Wa Nahfidoo Wa Narjoo Rahmataka Wa Nakhshaa Azaabaka Innaa Azaabaka Bil Kuffaaree Mulhiq'
Translation
O Allah!
We beg help from You
alone; ask forgiveness from You alone, and turn towards You and praise
You for
all the good things and are grateful to You and are not ungrateful to
You and we
part and break off with all those who are disobedient to you. O Allah!
You alone
do we worship and pray exclusively to You and bow before You alone and
we hasten
eagerly towards You and we fear Your severe punishment and hope for
Your Mercy
as your severe punishment is surely to be meted out to the unbelievers.

However
regarding Witr
containing 3 rakaat, there are only very few and not clear references
are
available.
Weather you believe or
not, our Foundation (Worshipping
Method) is
widely divided
into several
sects. Not
only every group, believing on, that they are right, BUT
every person practically believe that he is right, and perfect, so he
is acting
accordingly.
Blind
Faith:
When they are told to follow the (Revelation) that has sent down, they say: nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following). What if it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing) Fire? [Al_Quraan_031.021]
Think
again,
why we Muslims are so divided and who is taking benefits from it and
destroying
us, one group at a time and who knows next will be yours. It is only the
concept that I am right.
Islaam
spread from Makkah al-Mukarramah
( مكة
المكرمة)
to
the rest of the world and not the other way.
Take an example,
if a new
person becomes Muslim, from north
west (ALASKA, USA) or south west (Argentina) or North East(Japan) or
South East
(New Zealand or Australia), What
method of worship
he should follow???. Why we
are creating so many
confusions to new Muslims??? When will we
open our eyes???
In India, Pakistan,
and Iran we have
Shia, Brelwee, Dewbandi, AhleHadees and much more. Every group saying
they are really following Quraan
and Sunnah and
every group is giving clear
reference from
Quraan and Hadiths.
Where should this
new muslim go to learn
the method of worshiping, India, Pakistan, or Iran.???
My
suggestion
will be to go
to Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة
المكرمة),
the Center of the world Landwise. and
obviously the Center of Islaam.
I believe
that Allah has
to keep
the releigion Islaam
till the day of judgment
and there will be no
new religion. I also
believe that Allah is one,
Rasool Allah(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) is one,
Quraan is one and so the worshiping method is one.
Change yourself NOW Before it gets Too LATE:
Verily
Allah will never change the
condition of a people until they (first)
change it themselves. [Al_Quraan_013.011]
And
if
you turn
away,
Allah will exchange you for some another people, and they will not
be like you. [Al_Quraan_047.038]
