Hi I’m hoping if someone can help me. I am hoping to read some nafl prayers tonight before sunrise especially some that specifically intended for Laylatul Qadar. My problem/worry is I’m unsure whether I pray these nafals after witr or do I pray these nafals forst and just before fajar pray witr? As I am sure I read somewhere that you should read witr just before going to sleep?Hoping someone with more knowledge than I can help me out. Thank you in advance! Random_girl

Asalaamu alaikum sister. It is best to pray Witr before Fajr starts and to make it the last prayer of the night buts not compulsory to do so but recommended.

There is no specific Nafil just for Laylatul Qadr but the programme I would suggest is to recite Quran as much as possible and do some dhikr. Then for right now I would pray Salaatul Tasbih and then after that Tahajjud at least 8 rakat is recommended. In the Tahajjud you can read whatever Quran you know.It is best to pray it with dim light so one can pray with more humility. Imagine Allah watching you pray and be overcome with emotion an cry as much as you can and feel close to Allah.

After that make intense Duas begging and crying to Allah feeling helpless and in need of Allah the most high whilst feeling like the most low. Make this intense Dua and then pray Witr when there is 20 mins left for Suhur then have a light bite to eat as its sunnah then make intense dua until Fajr.

Then pray Fajr and not to sleep between Fajr and Sunrise as that is a blessed time and,one should spend it in dhikr, Duas and reciting Quran.

After Fajr one should not pray any Nafils but recite Quran, dhikr and Duas. Do worship until 20 minutes after sunrise and then pray 2 x 2 Rakat Salaatul Ishraq which carries Nafil Hajj reward. Then make sincere Duas and sleep.
