- The Isha prayer (Arabic: صلاة العشاء ṣalāt al-ʿišāʾ, “night prayer”) is one of the five mandatory salah (Islamic prayer). As an Islamic day starts at sunset, the Isha prayer is technically the second prayer of the day.[1][better source needed] If counted from midnight, it is the fifth prayer of the day
It is a four rak’ah prayer in Sunni Islam. The two Sunnah rak’ah following the Isha’ are highly recommended and so is the three rakat Witr. There are a few optional prayers that can be recited after the Isha’ prayer, including the Nafilat ul-Layl prayers (together termed tahajjud), as well as the tarawih in Ramadan.
The five daily prayers collectively are one pillar of the Five Pillars of Islam, in Sunni Islam, and one of the ten Practices of the Religion (Furū al-Dīn) according to Shia Islam.
