We know that Isha prayer is 15 rakats in total in short, first 4 rakats sunnat then 4 rakats obligatory, 2 rakats sunnat, 2 rakats nafal, last 3 rakats witr. Now, if for some reason one cannot perform the 4 Rakats of Sunnah before the obligatory prayer, then after performing the 4 Rakats of the obligatory prayers, can one perform the 2 Rakats of the Sunnah after performing the 2 Rakats of the Nafal?
The Rakats of the Isha prayer are short
Isha prayer totals 10 Rakats. This is the number of short Rakats. But anyone can read more if they want. Those Rakats will be Qiyamul Lail and Tahajjud for him.
- 4 Rakat is obligatory
- 2 Rakat Sunnah
- 3 Rakats of Witir
The short Rakats of the Isha prayer are as follows.
- 1st: Four Sunnah (If you read it you will get the reward, if you don’t read it there is no problem)
- 2nd: Four rakat is obligatory, it must be recited, otherwise you will be guilty.
- 3rd: Two rakat sunnah gair Muaqaddah, this must also be read, if not read it will be a sin. In total, the Isha prayer is 10 rakat.
However, most people pray three Rakats of the Witr prayer after the Isha prayer, even though the Witr prayer is not related to the Isha prayer. However, it is not a sin to pray Witr after Isha prayer, but it is better to pray this prayer on the last night.
After Witr prayer, many people offer two rakat nafl prayer, offering nafl namaz is also an act of worship with many rewards.
Short rakats of Isha prayer for girls
If the girls want, they can recite four Rakats of Isha prayer shortly. If they are unable to perform the Rakats of the Sunnah prayers for any reason, then only performing the next four Rakats of the obligatory prayers will be sufficient.
But it is better if you have enough time and there is no difficulty, then perform the sunnah Rakats of Isha as much as possible. Because Sunnah Rakats will increase the reward in your deeds. But if for some reason you cannot perform the Sunnah prayer, then you will not be guilty of sin.
And we know that there is an exemption for women in special cases, when they are menstruating, they do not need to pray four Rakats of Isha in short. Then they are completely excused from prayer. However, the fasts that they spend at that time will have to be performed later.
Is Qirat of Isha prayer recited loud?
In the night prayer you have to recite the Qiraat to the Almighty and during the day if you pray the night Isha Sunnah prayer then it is better if you read it alone then it is better to read the Qiraat aloud. Can read slowly.
If Isha Farz Jamaat is to be recited then the Qiraat should be recited aloud and the Adhan should be given. It is Sunnah to do these things. If you read alone, then you can read slowly or loudly in any way since there is no problem with the Qaza prayer, but Sunnah should read the Qiraat aloud in the night prayer. If you don’t have any problem then recite the Qiraat aloud.
How to pray the four rakat Sunnah prayers of Isha?
Say Allahu Akbar and put your hands on your chest.
The first
- Sana will read
- Auzubillahi Minash Shwaitani’s Rajim
- Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
- Surah Fatiha
- At least 3 verses from any other surah
- bow down
- prostration
Read the 2nd rakat like this. Then the meeting. Read only Tashahhud here. Then get up and pray two rakat again. In this case, another Surah will be added after Surah Fatiha. Which does not have to be done in obligatory prayers.
Then at the end of 4 Rakats the last meeting. Now recite Tashahhud, Darude Ibrahim, and Duaye Mas’ura. Salam will return. By the way, 4 rakat sunnat prayers have been performed.
Rules and elements of Isha prayer
First: you have to make the intention of prayer. Niyyat means focusing one’s will and actions on Allah. I am facing the Qibla and offering 4 Rakats of Esha’s obligatory prayer – these do not need to be uttered.
Recitation of Tahrima and Sanaa in Takbeer
Chobhanaka Allahumma wa Bihamdika wa Tabarakasmuka wa ta’ a-la jadduka wa la-ilaha gairuka. Then tie hands
Ajujubillah and Bismillah will be recited
- Auzu billah-hi minash shayt-nir rajim.
- Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim.
Surah Fatiha
Alhamdu Lillahi Rabbil A’lamin Ar Rahmani Rahim Maliki Yaomiddin, Yayaka Na’budu wa Yayaka Nastain Ihdinas Sirtal Mostakim. Sirtallazina an Amta Alaihim, Ghairil Magdubi Alaihim Waladdallin. Amen.
After that any other surah should be recited as Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim. After reciting the Surah, one should go to Ruku. Allahu Akbar says
Tasbeeh of Ruku
Subha-na Rabbial Azim. (Say 3 times) After that Tasmi should be recited like this.
Tasmi
Sami Allah Liman Hamidah. Now bow and stand straight.
Tahmid
Rabbana Lakal Hamad. After saying Allahu Akbar, you should go to Sijdah.
Sijda Tasbeeh
Subhana Rabbiyal A’la. Say Allahu Akbar 3 times and sit up. And again say Allahu Akbar and go to sajdah and say Subhana Rabbiyal A’laa (3 times) and stand up.
There is a supplication between the two prostrations if you wish.
Dua
Allahummagfirli, warhamni, wahdini, wa afini, Waryukni.
Then the 1st Rakat ended and the 2nd Rakat started. From Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim to Sijdah in the same way, then sit for the 1st meeting and recite Tashahhud.
Tashahhud
Attahiyya-tu lilla-hi wassala watu wat tayyiba-tu assalamu alaika aiyuhan nabiyu wa rahmatullahi wa baraka-tuhu assala-mu alayna wa ala ibadilla-hiss-lihin. Ashhadu Allah-ila-ha illallah-hu wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasuluhu.
Now stand for the 3rd rakat after just reading Tashahhud. The 2nd rakat ends and the 3rd rakat begins. After saying Bismillah again, after reciting Surah Fatiha, you don’t have to recite another Surah. (It is only in the 3rd and 4th Rakat during Fard prayer) Then after bowing and Sujood again one should stand for the 4th Rakat. After reciting Surah Fatiha in the 4th Rakat, after Ruku and Sujood, sit for the last sitting with hands on knees, Shahadat finger raised, Tashahhud, Darood Sharif and Dua Machura. Dua Mushura will finish the finger. Then return the salam and finish the prayer.
Darud Sharif
- Allahumma salli ala Muhammadio wa ala Ali Muhammadin kama sallaita ala Ibrahima wa ala Ali Ibrahima innaka hamidum majid. Allahumma barik ala muhammadio wa ala ali muhammadin kama barakata ala ibrahima wa ala ali ibrahima innaka hamidum majid.
Salam
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah. Then you can raise your hands and pray.
Dua
Rabbana Jalamna Anfusana wa Illam Tagfirlana wa Tar Hamlamana Kunanna Minal Khasirin.
DUa Kunut
Allahumma inni nasta’i’nuka wa nastagfiruka, wa nu’minubika wa natawakkalu alaika wa nuchni alaikal khair. Wa nashkuruka wala nakfuruka wa nakhlau wa natruku mai yafjuruka. Allahumma yayaka na’budu wa laka nusalli wa nasjudu wa ilaika nas’a wa nahfidu wa narju rahmataka wa naksha azabaqa inna azabaqa bil kuffari mulhiq.
