The witir prayer is a sunnah prayer that can be performed as a complement to the night prayer, including after performing the tarawih prayer in Ramadan. Usually, this prayer is done in an odd number, such as three cycles.
Like other prayers, don’t forget to read the intention for the witr prayer for 3 cycles before performing the sunnah worship. The goal is to convey the intention of worship to Allah SWT.

In language, witir means odd, as quoted from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). Therefore, this prayer should be done in an odd number of cycles, such as one cycle, three cycles, five cycles, up to a maximum of 11 cycles.
If the witir prayer is performed in three cycles, then Muslims can do three cycles at once and then close it with greetings. However, if the witir prayer is done for more than three cycles, then it is recommended to do it with greetings every two cycles.
The Witir prayer actually has a loose time, starting from after the Isha prayer until before the Fajr prayer. Therefore, this prayer is considered as the ‘finishing’ after performing a series of night prayers, as was done by Rasulullah SAW.
May God bless them both. He said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: Make your prayers an odd number of times at night
Meaning: Do the witr prayer as your last night prayer.
When about to perform the Witr prayer, the Prophet SAW taught that Muslims should read several Sunnah letters, namely Sabbih-isma Rabiika, Al-Kafiruun, and Al-Ikhas or Al-Falaq or An-Nas.
