Tata Cara Sholat Witir Yang Benar Sesuai Sunnah Yang Diajarkan Nabi Muhammad - Ustadz Adi Hidayat

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to perform the Sholat Witir prayer according to the Sunnah taught by Prophet Muhammad. Sholat Witir is a significant Sunnah prayer that is usually performed after the Isha prayer. This guide will clarify the proper method and etiquette to ensure your practice aligns with Islamic teachings.

Step 1: Intention for Sholat Witir

• Begin by making a sincere intention to perform the Sholat Witir prayer.
• The intention can be made in your heart and does not need to be spoken aloud.
• Remember that the intention is crucial as it differentiates your prayer from other acts of worship.

Step 2: Perform Two Rak'ahs

• Start by praying two rak'ahs (units of prayer).
• In each rak'ah:
  • Recite Surah Al-Fatiha followed by another Surah of your choice.
  • Ensure your movements are calm and focused, maintaining humility in your prayer.

Step 3: Complete the Final Rak'ah

• After completing the two rak'ahs, prepare for the final rak'ah.
• In this rak'ah:
  • Again, recite Surah Al-Fatiha followed by another Surah.
  • You may raise your hands in Takbir (saying "Allahu Akbar") before the bowing position.

Step 4: Recite the Qunoot Supplication

• After standing up from the bowing position in the final rak'ah, raise your hands and recite the Qunoot supplication.
• The Qunoot supplication can include various forms; one common version is:

  اللّهُمَّ اهْدِنَا فِي مَنْ هَدَيْتَ
  

• This supplication is a plea for guidance and support.

Step 5: Complete the Prayer

• After reciting the Qunoot, proceed with the bowing (ruku) and the remainder of the rak'ah.
• Conclude your prayer with Tasleem:
  • Turn your head to the right and say "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah."
  • Then turn your head to the left and repeat the greeting.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Avoid rushing through the prayers; maintain focus and tranquility.
• Ensure you have the correct intention before starting your prayer.
• Do not forget the Qunoot supplication, as it is an essential aspect of the Witir prayer.

Conclusion

Performing Sholat Witir is a rewarding practice that strengthens your connection to God. By following these steps, you can ensure that your prayer aligns with the Sunnah teachings of Prophet Muhammad. Take the time to practice each step mindfully, and consider incorporating other Sunnah prayers into your routine for further spiritual benefits.
