Relating to the value of Witr Prayer, in a Sahih hadith, The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) claimed: The witr is a task for every single Muslim. [1]

As pointed out in our previous assist on the best ways to pray Prayer, every prayer is a possibility for a Muslim to spend in growing his/her partnership with their designer.
