Lengthy ad‘iyya (sometimes called "qunut") may be performed in the final rak`a (bowing/prostration cycle) of canonical prayer (salah), especially fajr (dawn) prayers, and to conclude the late-night tarawih prayers of Ramadan, during the final rak`a, the so-called "witr". These are particularly important during the last 10 nights, since one of these is the “laylat al-qadr” or “night of power”, during which channels between heaven and earth are open.

The style of du`a' during witr is similar to that of the morning prayer, but with much greater emotional intensity and buildup, partly due to the size of the congregation (which for Shaykh Muhammad Gabril can exceed 50,000). These vast congregations are a recent phenomenon due to the rise of interest in religion, together with technical innovations such as the amplifier, allowing the voice to be projected over an expansive area.
