Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The Witr prayer is Sunnah Mukkadah (confirmed Sunnah). This is the preponderant opinion of the Muslim scholars. It is not an obligatory prayer like the other five obligatory prayers. Performing only one Rakah of Witr prayer is permissible. But despite its permissibility praying three Rakah or five or seven Rakah is more perfect. The way of performing three Rakah of Witr should not be similar to the way of performing three Rakah of Maghrib prayer. However, performing two Rakah and concluding them with Tasleem and then praying one Rakah separately with a Tashahud and Tasleen is recommended. Likewise it is also allowed to pray three Rakah consecutively without making Tashahud after second Rakah, but the Tashahud should be in this case made only one time in the last Rakah, i.e. no Tashahud in second Rakah as in Maghrib prayer.
Witr prayer is like other supererogatory prayers, which may be performed while sitting or riding on any means of transport.
The evidences for praying one Rakah of Witr is the Hadith reported in Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet said: "The prayer of the night is sets of two Rakah. If one fears the coming of the dawn, he should perform one Rakah, thereby making all of them odd (Witr)". Imam Muslim adds after this narration that someone inquired Ibn Umar what is the meaning of 'sets of two Rakah' he replied, after completing two Rakah finish them by Tasleem". This explanation of Ibn Umar is also narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) in al-Musnad.
There is a Hadith that the Prophet said: "Witr is only one Rakah at the last part of the night". [Reported by Imam Muslim] The Prophet also said: "Witr prayer is one's due, so whoever likes to perform five Rakah of Witr he may perform them, whoever wants to perform three Rakah of Witr he may perform that, and whoever wants to perform one Rakah of Witr he may do so. And whoever faces hardship to perform it, he may perform it only by making gestures". [Books of Sunan and Sahih Ibn Hibban]
All the above Ahadith establish the fact that performing one Rakah of Witr prayer is permissible.
The evidence for the rule that the three Rakah of Witr should not be similar to the Maghrib prayer is the Hadith reported by Imam al-Hakim in his book named al-Mustadrak and Imam Ibn Hibban in his Book Sahih Ibn Hibban that the Prophet said: "Do not perform three Rakah of Witr resembling to the Maghrib prayer. But you can perform five, seven or eleven Rakah of Witr or more".
The evidence that performing the Witr prayer while standing is not compulsory, is the Hadith narrated in Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet sometimes performed Witr prayer while riding on his camel.
Allah knows best.

A True Muslim does not discriminate.

I will make it as simple as possible.

Witr prayer comprises of three rackets. After offering two rackets, one should sit down and read the at-Tahiti. The droid should not be read. Instead, one should immediately stand up after the at-Tahiti. One should then read the Surah Faatihah and another Surah. Thereafter, one should say Allahu Akbar and raise one?s hands up to one?s ears (and upto the shoulders if it is a woman). The hands should be clasped again, and thereafter, the dua-e-qunoot should be recited. Thereafter, he should go into ruku, complete the third rakaat, sit down for at-tahiyyaat, durood, and a dua and then make the salaam.

Witr Sal is 3 rajah.

The first 2 rajah are as usual, but in the 3rd rajah after saying Surah Fatiha you have to say Dua Qanoot.

Mashalllah @ Sadaat

If one does not know Dua e Qunoot, he/she can read " Rabbana Aa'tina Feedoonya WA Fil Akhirati Hasanato wa Kie Na AzaabanNaar.
If da above dua is hard, any dua can be read.
