## Text

### PLEASE NOTE: Be it clear that the reason for presenting Translation is to understand Salaat and to recite in Arabic with concentration because reciting Salaat in other than Arabic language (or Transliteration) is not correct.

### It is mustahab to recite all the below mentioned Zikr, but if not possible, then reciting of (11 rakats or last 2+1 rakats or just 1 rakat Vatr) Namaz is sufficient.

- Instruction: This namaz consists of 11 rakat, which includes 8 rakat Namaz of Nafilah’e Shab, 2 rakat Namaz’e Shafa and 1 rakat Namaz’e Vatr. It has to be performed between midnight and dawn (Fajr Azan). Yet it is recommended to offer as near as possible to dawn.
- Instruction (Urdu): یہ نماز ۱۱ رکعت ہے، جس میں سے ۸ رکعت نوافلِ شب، ۲ رکعت نمازِ شفع اور ایک رکعت نمازِ وتر ہے۔ اس نماز کو آدھی رات اور صبح صادق کے درمیان ادا کرے۔ بہتر ہے کہ اسے صبح صادق سے قریب وقت میں انجام دیا جائے۔
