This may sound silly to you all but i would like to know something in regards to isha namaz.
I have been told that there are 4-4-2-2-3-2 rakats in isha then after that you read your witr is this right
Or wrong please advise. Im so worried.

[Aleenkagirlla]

4 Sunnah
4 Fardh - You Have To Perform
2 Sunnah - Its Sunnah Muakaddah
2 Nafl
3 Witr - It Is Wajib
2 Nafl

4 Fardh
2 Sunnah
3 Witr

After The Fardh - The Tahajjud Salaah Can Be Performed.

The reason why i ask is because i havent prayed for a while and now im confussed and also embarrased to ask people at the mosque. The way i would pray would be like above but i got confussed about the witr. So my question is do i carry on the way i have with 4-4-2-2-3-2 and then the witr or do i do 4-4-2-2 and leave the 3 after tuhajjad. Please help. Many many thanks.

It is a summation of 17 Rakahs distributed as follows:

4 Sunnah (Ghayr-Mauqida - Not-emphasized)
4 Fardh (Obligatory with explicit proofs)
2 Sunnah (Mauqida - Emphasized)
2 Nafl (Voluntary)
3 Witr (Wajib - Obligatory with derived proofs)
2 Nafl (Voluntary)

And Allah knows best.

I was under the impression that after one reads witr he cannot read any nafls thats why they say that if one wishes to read tahujjad namaz one should read witr after they have prayed tahujjad. Im confussed about this hence the reason why i ask. I want to know if 3 Witr (Wajib - Obligatory with derived proofs) this is the same witr that is the last namaz we read before going to sleep.
