Method of Taraweeh prayer

Taraweeh prayer

Taraweeh prayer is an essential and special prayer in the month of Ramadan as we offer special prayer on Eids.

It is not obligatory. Prophet Muhammad SAW, and all the Muslims scholars laid emphasized offering the special prayer of Ramadan.

Method of Taraweeh prayer

There are 20 Rakah of Taraweeh. Some scholars say less than 20.

Method of Taraweeh prayer is simple. After performing the obligatory prayer of Isha, we select 2 Rakah of prayer to perform Taraweeh prayer. We can pray this prayer in our home, but It is of great importance to pray this prayer in the mosque, particularly in the congregation.

We should make intention for two Rakah of prayer. We should complete it satisfactory either alone or with the Imam. After paying salutation, we should make intention for another 2 Rakah of prayer. And, it will happen thus till the 20 Rakah is complete.

It means that you will stand for two Rakah prayer ten times.

After completion of the Taraweeh prayer, we should make intention for 3 Rakah of Witr prayer.

It is useful to recite the big Surah of the Quran in the Taraweeh prayer. Commonly, in the different mosque, across the World, the Muslims recite the complete Quran in the Taraweeh prayer. This is due to the increase in blessings because, in Ramadan, every good action carries double rewards from Almighty Allah. It is not compulsory to recite the whole during Traweeh’s prayer. Taraweeh also is not obligatory, but Prophet Muhammad SAW, and Islamic scholars gave great importance to offer this prayer.
