Intention for Witr Prayer

The closing night prayer, an odd number of rak'ah

One-rak'ah Witr (follower)

أُصَلِّيْ سُنَّةَ الْوِتْرِ رَكْعَةً مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ مَأْمُوْمًا لِلّٰهِ تَعَالَى

Ushallii sunnatal-witri rak'atan mustaqbilal-qiblati ma'muuman lillaahi ta'aalaa

I intend to pray the recommended Witr, one rak'ah, facing the qibla, as a follower, for Allah the Exalted.

When & how

Prayed to close the night prayers, after Tarawih in Ramadan. The number of rak'ah is odd (1, 3, and so on).

For your little one

The Prophet ﷺ encouraged making Witr the last prayer of the night.
