1. Is Witr Salah the 6th Prayer in a Day? No, Witr Salah is not considered the 6th obligatory prayer in a day. There are five obligatory daily prayers in Islam: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. Witr Salah is a voluntary (Sunnah) prayer that is performed after the Isha prayer.

2. Best Time to Pray Witr Salah: The best time to pray Witr Salah is after the Isha prayer and before the break of dawn (Fajr). It is recommended to pray Witr Salah in the last third of the night, but it can be performed at any time after the Isha prayer until the time of Fajr begins.

3. Number of Rakat in Witr Salah: The number of Rakat (units of prayer) in Witr Salah can vary based on different Islamic schools of thought (madhabs).

• In the Hanafi Madhab: Witr Salah consists of three Rakat. After the first two Rakat, there is a sitting for Tashahhud (the middle sitting), and the Tashahhud is recited. After the Tashahhud, one continues with the third Rakat.
• In the Shafi’i Madhab: Witr Salah can be prayed with one, three, five, seven, or more Rakat. The most common practice is to pray Witr Salah with three Rakat. In the Shafi’i method, one can sit for Tashahhud after the second Rakat and then continue with the third Rakat.

4. Number of Salat (Prayers) Mentioned in the Quran: The Quran mentions the importance of prayer and the concept of Salah but does not specify the exact number of Rakat or the specific names of the five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha). The details of the daily prayers, including the number of Rakat and their names, are derived from the Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) and the consensus of Islamic scholars.

5. Dua-e-Qunoot: Dua-e-Qunoot is a supplication recited in the Witr Salah, typically after the Ruku (bowing) of the last Rakat. Whether you recite it with Takbeer (saying “Allahu Akbar”) or without Takbeer can vary based on different Islamic traditions and scholars.

• In the Hanafi Madhab: It is common to recite Dua-e-Qunoot without Takbeer. The supplication is recited after raising the hands in Ruku.
• In the Shafi’i Madhab: It is common to recite Dua-e-Qunoot with Takbeer. The supplication is started with the Takbeer.

The practice may also vary based on local customs and individual preferences. It’s essential to follow the guidance of your specific Islamic school of thought or the instructions provided by your local mosque or Islamic community regarding the recitation of Dua-e-Qunoot.
