Takeaways

• 😀 The first Ramadan prayer after Isya is Salat Tarawih, which involves breaks between the rak'ahs for rest (tarwihah), especially due to the long recitations.
• 😀 The word 'Tarawih' comes from the Arabic term for rest (tarwihah), as the prayer includes breaks due to the long standing postures.
• 😀 During the time of Umar Bin Khattab, the Salat Tarawih was unified under one Imam, Ubay Bin Ka'ab, and its rak'ahs were set to 20 with an additional 3 rak'ahs for Witir, totaling 23.
• 😀 Different versions of Tarawih exist, with some traditions offering 36 rak'ahs (plus Witir for a total of 39), and in some places like Yemen, even 100 rak'ahs are performed.
• 😀 In Morocco, the longest Tarawih prayers are observed, lasting from Isya to Fajr, with shifts in the Imam and congregation.
• 😀 Two main types of Tarawih are: one with long verses resulting in prolonged standing, and the other with shorter verses but frequent prostrations.
• 😀 Tarawih should be seen as a spiritual act, not merely a count of rak'ahs, as it's a time to fill the nights of Ramadan with sincere worship and devotion.
• 😀 Witir prayers follow Tarawih and are traditionally prayed in odd numbers (e.g., 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 rak'ahs). However, even one rak'ah is valid for Witir.
• 😀 It's important not to perform Witir twice in one night. After Tarawih and Witir, if one wakes up for Tahajjud, no additional Witir should be prayed.
• 😀 The practice of tasbih (remembrance of Allah) during the breaks between Tarawih rak'ahs is encouraged, particularly during rest periods, reflecting the practice of Makkah and Medina worshippers.
• 😀 The role of Bilal in guiding the congregation through the prayer, including reminding them of the number of rak'ahs left, helps to ensure clarity, especially for those unfamiliar with the specific prayer practices.

Q & A

What is the significance of Salat Tarawih during Ramadan?

Salat Tarawih is a special prayer performed after the Isha prayer during Ramadan. It is significant because it allows Muslims to engage in extra worship and reflect on the teachings of the Quran, particularly during the holy month of fasting.

Why is Salat Tarawih called Tarawih?

The term 'Tarawih' comes from the Arabic word 'Tarwihah', meaning rest or break. It refers to the rest taken between every four raka'ah (units of prayer) due to the long recitation of the Quran during the prayer.

Why do people sit during Salat Tarawih?

People sit during Salat Tarawih to rest after long periods of standing while listening to the recitation of the Quran. This rest period allows worshippers to continue their prayer without becoming fatigued, as the prayers are often lengthy.

What was the origin of the 20 raka'ah Tarawih prayer?

The 20 raka'ah Tarawih prayer originated during the time of Umar bin Khattab. He organized the congregation by appointing one imam, Ubay bin Ka'b, after previously having many smaller groups. This setup led to the common practice of 20 raka'ah in Salat Tarawih.

How many raka'ahs are there in Salat Tarawih and Witir prayers?

The number of raka'ahs in Salat Tarawih varies. It can range from 20 raka'ahs with 3 raka'ahs of Witir (23 in total), to as many as 36 raka'ahs in some regions. Salat Witir, which follows Tarawih, is an odd number of raka'ahs, usually 1, 3, 5, 7, or 11.

What is the Witir prayer, and why is it important?

Witir is a special prayer performed after Tarawih that is considered to be an odd number of raka'ahs, typically 1, 3, 5, or more. It holds significance because it is a prayer performed to conclude the nightly worship during Ramadan, and it is highly recommended in the Sunnah.

Can Witir prayer be performed more than once in a single night?

No, according to Islamic tradition, Witir prayer should not be repeated twice in one night. If someone has already performed Witir after Tarawih, they should not perform it again later, as it disrupts the essence of the odd-numbered nature of the prayer.

What are the different methods of performing Witir prayer?

Witir prayer can be performed in several ways, including 1 raka'at, 3 raka'at (either 2+1 or 3 with one salam), or 5, 7, or 9 raka'ahs in a sequence. The most common practice is 3 raka'ahs, and sometimes the 3 raka'ahs are divided into two parts: two raka'ahs followed by one.

Is it acceptable to perform Tasbih (remembrance of Allah) during breaks in Tarawih?

Yes, it is acceptable to engage in Tasbih, such as reciting 'Subhanallah', 'Alhamdulillah', and 'Allahu Akbar', during breaks in Tarawih prayer. This practice is supported by the tradition of people in Makkah and Madinah, who would recite Dhikr or perform Tawaf during breaks.

What is the relationship between Tarawih and Tahajjud prayers?

Tarawih is usually performed after Isha during Ramadan, while Tahajjud is a voluntary prayer done in the late night, typically after a portion of sleep. Both are optional prayers, but Tahajjud can be performed after Tarawih if someone chooses to wake up later in the night for further worship.
