Supererogatory prayers are meritorious practices during the Blessed Month of Ramadan, given the immeasurable benefits they contain.
However, they should be distinguished from the 13 rakacs traditionally performed after each evening prayer (cishâ) which are made up of 10 rakacs as well as shafac (2 rakacs) and Witr (1 rakac).
During the month of Ramadan, these supererogatory prayers become reinforced traditional practices and are held in assembly in mosques under the direction of an imam.
Whoever intends to perform these prayers can perform them after the evening prayer before shafac and witr. On the other hand, the one who has already performed shafac and witr can nevertheless continue his supererogatory prayers according to the number of rakacs he desires without repeating them.
CLARIFICATION: In Islam, it is the night which precedes the day. So when we say first night, it is the night of the appearance of the lunar crescent. To be clearer, the celebration of supererogatory prayers (nafilas) must precede the day of Ramadan. In other words, when we say 12th night, it is the 11th day in the night, that is to say the night of the 11th to the 12th day.
