๐ Taraweeh Ki Namaz – Fazilat, Ahmiyat aur Sahi Tareeqa
๐ Taraweeh Kya Hai?
“Taraweeh” lafz Arabic ke lafz “Tarweeha” se nikla hai jiska matlab hai aram karna. Kyunki sahaba karaam lambi qiraat ki wajah se har 4 rakat ke baad thoda aram karte the, is liye is namaz ko Taraweeh kaha gaya. Yeh namaz Ramzan me Isha ke baad padhi jati hai aur Sunnat‑e‑Muakkadah mani jati hai.
๐ Taraweeh Ki Fazilat – Sahih Hadith Se Daleel
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) se riwayat hai ke Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ ne farmaya:
ู َْู َูุงู َ ุฑَู َุถَุงَู ุฅِูู َุงًูุง َูุงุญْุชِุณَุงุจًุง ุบُِูุฑَ َُูู ู َุง ุชََูุฏَّู َ ู ِْู ุฐَْูุจِِู
“Jo shakhs Ramzan me imaan aur sawab ki niyat se qiyam kare, uske pichle gunaah maaf kar diye jate hain.” — (Sahih al‑Bukhari: 37, Sahih Muslim: 759)
Yahan “Qiyam‑e‑Ramzan” se murad Taraweeh ki namaz hai. Is hadith se maloom hota hai ke Taraweeh gunahon ki maghfirat ka zariya hai.
๐ Kya Rasool ๏ทบ Ne Taraweeh Jamaat Se Padhi?
Hazrat Aisha (RA) farmati hain: “Rasoolullah ๏ทบ ne ek raat masjid me namaz padhi aur logon ne aap ke peeche namaz padhi. Doosri aur teesri raat bhi aisa hua. Chauthi raat log zyada ho gaye, lekin aap ๏ทบ tashreef na laye. Subah farmaya: Mujhe andesha hua ke kahin yeh tum par farz na kar di jaye.” — (Sahih al‑Bukhari: 1129, Sahih Muslim: 761)
Is se maloom hua: Taraweeh jamaat se padhi gayi, farz hone ke khauf se aap ๏ทบ ne musalsal jamaat na karayi.
๐ Hazrat Umar (RA) Ka Daur Aur Jamaat Ka Nizam
Baad me jab Umar ibn al‑Khattab (RA) ka daur aaya to unhon ne logon ko ek imam ke peeche jama kar diya. Riwayat me aata hai: “Hazrat Umar (RA) ne Ubayy ibn Ka’b (RA) ko imam banaya aur log jamaat ke sath Taraweeh padhne lage.” — (Sahih al‑Bukhari: 2010)
Hazrat Umar (RA) ne farmaya: “Yeh kitni achi bid’at hai.” Yahan “bid’at” se murad naya tareeqa nahi, balke jamaat ko dobara munazzam karna tha.
๐ Taraweeh Ki Rakat Kitni?
๐น 8 Rakat Ki Daleel: Hazrat Aisha (RA) se riwayat hai: “Rasoolullah ๏ทบ Ramzan aur ghair Ramzan me 11 rakat se zyada nahi padhte the.” — (Sahih al‑Bukhari: 1147). Is bunyad par kuch log 8 rakat + 3 witr padhte hain.
๐น 20 Rakat Ka Amal: Hazrat Umar (RA) ke daur me 20 rakat jamaat ke sath padhi gayi, jo baad me ijma’ ki shakal ikhtiyar kar gayi. Aksar Hindustan, Pakistan aur Arab mumalik me 20 rakat padhi jati hain.
๐ Dono tareeqe jaiz hain. Ikhtilaf me narmi honi chahiye.
๐ Taraweeh Ka Sahi Tareeqa
- Isha ki farz aur sunnat ada karein
- Taraweeh 2‑2 rakat kar ke padhein
- Har 4 rakat ke baad chhota sa waqfa
- Aakhir me Witr ki namaz
- Taraweeh me lambi qiraat mustahab hai lekin zaroori nahi.
๐ Qur’an Khatam Karna Zaroori Hai?
Poora Qur’an sunna ya khatam karna sawab ka kaam hai. Sahaba ke daur me bhi Ramzan me Qur’an mukammal kiya jata tha. Lekin agar kisi masjid me mukhtasar qiraat ho to bhi Taraweeh sahih hai.
๐ Ghar Me Taraweeh Padhna
- Agar masjid na ja sake to ghar me akela padh sakte hain
- Family ke sath jamaat bana sakte hain
- Aurton ke liye ghar afzal hai
๐ Taraweeh Aur Tahajjud Me Farq
๐ Taraweeh Ke Roohani Faide
- Gunahon ki maafi
- Imaan me izafa
- Qur’an se lagao
- Raat ki ibadat ki aadat
- Allah ki rehmat aur barkat
✨ Ramzan Me Taraweeh Ki Special Tips
๐ Aakhri Naseehat
Taraweeh sirf rakaton ka naam nahi, balke dil ki hazri ka naam hai. Namaz me khushu, tawajjo aur Qur’an ko samajhne ki koshish karein. Ramzan ki raaton ko zaya na karein, kyunki ho sakta hai agla Ramzan naseeb na ho.
๐คฒ Allah humein Ramzan ki raaton ka sahih istemal karne ki taufeeq de. Ameen.
๐ Taraweeh Prayer – Virtues, Importance & Correct Method
๐ What is Taraweeh?
The word “Taraweeh” is derived from the Arabic term “Tarweeha” meaning rest. Because the noble Companions used to rest briefly after every four rak’ahs due to lengthy recitation, this prayer became known as Taraweeh. It is performed during Ramadan after Isha and is considered an emphasized Sunnah (Sunnah Mu’akkadah).
๐ Virtue of Taraweeh – Authentic Hadith
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Prophet ๏ทบ said:
ู َْู َูุงู َ ุฑَู َุถَุงَู ุฅِูู َุงًูุง َูุงุญْุชِุณَุงุจًุง ุบُِูุฑَ َُูู ู َุง ุชََูุฏَّู َ ู ِْู ุฐَْูุจِِู
“Whoever stands (in prayer) during Ramadan with faith and hope for reward, his past sins will be forgiven.” — (Sahih al‑Bukhari 37, Sahih Muslim 759)
Here “standing in Ramadan” refers to Taraweeh prayer. This hadith shows that Taraweeh is a means of forgiveness.
๐ Did the Prophet ๏ทบ Perform Taraweeh in Congregation?
Aisha (RA) narrated: “One night the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ prayed in the mosque, and people prayed behind him. This happened on the second and third nights as well. On the fourth night, many people gathered, but the Prophet ๏ทบ did not come out. In the morning he said: ‘I feared that this prayer might become obligatory upon you.’” — (Bukhari 1129, Muslim 761)
Thus, Taraweeh was prayed in congregation, but the Prophet ๏ทบ discontinued it lest it become compulsory.
๐ The Era of Umar (RA) and the System of Congregation
Later, during the caliphate of Umar ibn al‑Khattab (RA), he gathered the people behind one imam. It is narrated: “Umar (RA) appointed Ubayy ibn Ka’b (RA) as imam, and the people prayed Taraweeh in congregation.” — (Bukhari 2010). Umar (RA) remarked: “What an excellent innovation this is.” The term “innovation” here means re‑establishing the congregation, not introducing a new practice into the religion.
๐ How Many Rak’ahs?
๐น Evidence for 8 rak’ahs: Aisha (RA) reported: “The Prophet ๏ทบ never prayed more than eleven rak’ahs (in night prayer), both in Ramadan and other months.” — (Bukhari 1147). Based on this, some pray 8 rak’ahs + 3 witr.
๐น Practice of 20 rak’ahs: During Umar’s (RA) time, 20 rak’ahs were prayed in congregation, a practice that gained general acceptance. In most regions of India, Pakistan and the Arab world, 20 rak’ahs are offered.
๐ Both ways are permissible; flexibility should be shown in this matter.
๐ Correct Method of Taraweeh
- Perform the obligatory (farz) and sunnah of Isha.
- Pray Taraweeh in sets of two rak’ahs.
- Take a short break after every four rak’ahs.
- Conclude with Witr prayer.
- Long recitation is recommended but not obligatory.
๐ Is Completing the Entire Qur’an Necessary?
Listening to the whole Qur’an or completing it is a meritorious deed. The Companions used to complete the Qur’an during Ramadan. However, if a mosque offers shorter recitation, Taraweeh is still valid.
๐ Praying Taraweeh at Home
- If you cannot go to the mosque, you may pray alone at home.
- You can form a congregation with family members.
- For women, praying at home is preferable.
๐ Difference Between Taraweeh and Tahajjud
๐ Spiritual Benefits of Taraweeh
- Forgiveness of sins
- Increase in faith
- Connection with the Qur’an
- Habit of night worship
- Allah’s mercy and blessings
✨ Special Tips for Taraweeh in Ramadan
๐ Final Advice
Taraweeh is not merely about counting rak’ahs; it is about presence of heart. Strive to pray with humility, attention, and an effort to understand the Qur’an. Do not waste the nights of Ramadan, for perhaps next Ramadan may not come for you.
๐คฒ May Allah grant us the ability to make the best of the nights of Ramadan. Ameen.

๐ Taraweeh ke Ahem Masail
- 1. Taraweeh Ki Ahmiyat Aur Haisiyat: Ramzan-ul-Mubarak mein Taraweeh padhna shariat mein ek behad ahem ibadat hai. Yeh har aqil (samajhdar) aur baligh (adult) mard aur aurat dono par Sunnat-e-Muakkadah hai. Sunnat-e-Muakkadah ka matlab yeh hai ki yeh ek aisi sunnat hai jisko hamare Nabi (SAW) ne pabandi se ada kiya aur bina kisi sakht majboori ke isey chhodne se mana farmaya. Ramzan ki har raat ko 20 rakat Taraweeh padhna zaroori hai. Agar koi shakhs bimaari, thakawat ya kisi sakht majboori ki wajah se kabhi-kabar isey chhod de, toh uspe gunah nahi hoga. Lekin bina kisi uzr (reason) ke isko bilkul hi na padhne ki aadat bana lena ya isme jaan boojh kar susti karna ek musalman ko gunahgar banata hai.
- 2. Taraweeh Padhne Ka Sahi Waqt: Taraweeh ke waqt ke baare mein ek bunyadi asool yeh hai ki iska waqt Isha ki farz namaz ada karne ke baad hi shuru hota hai. Agar koi shakhs ghalti se ya jaldi mein Isha ke farz padhne se pehle hi Taraweeh ki niyat baandh le aur namaz padh le, toh shariat ke mutabiq wo namaz Taraweeh nahi kahlaya jayegi, balki wo aam 'Nafil' namaz ban jayegi. Sahi tarika yahi hai ki pehle Isha ke farz ada kiye jayein, uske baad Isha ki sunnatein padhi jayein, aur phir Taraweeh ka aaghaz kiya jaye. Iska waqt subah sadiq (sehri ka waqt khatam hone) se pehle tak rehta hai.
- 3. Ghar Par Taraweeh Padhne Ke Ahkam: Namaz chahe farz ho ya Taraweeh, mard hazrat ke liye shari'at mein yahi zyada afzal aur behtar hai ki wo masjid mein jamaat ke saath isey ada karein. Ghar par padhna: Lekin, agar kisi wajah se (duty, bimaari ya thakawat) masjid ki jamaat nikal jaye, toh ise bilkul aaram se ghar par akele ya ghar walon ki jamaat banakar padha jaa sakta hai. Aurton ke liye toh waise bhi ghar mein akele namaz padhna hi afzal hai. Waqt ki kami: Ek aur ahem masla yeh hai ki agar aap der se uthe hain aur waqt bohot kam bacha hai (maslan sehri ka waqt khatam hone wala hai) aur poori 20 rakat padhna namumkin hai, toh aisi soorat mein jitni rakatein aap aasani aur sukoon se padh sakte hain, utni hi padh lein. Allah ki zaat se umeed hai ki jitni niyat aur khuloos se aap padhenge, utna sawab zaroor milega. (baki raaton mein sunnat ka ehtemam rahega)
- 4. 10 Ya 15 Din Mein Quran Mukammal Karne Ka Masla: Aaj kal ek aam ghalatfehmi yeh ban gayi hai ki kuch masjidon mein 10 ya 15 din mein Taraweeh ke andar pura Quran Majeed khatam karwa diya jata hai, aur log yeh samajh lete hain ki unki poore Ramzan ki Taraweeh ab mukammal ho gayi hai. Phir wo baaki raaton mein Taraweeh padhna chhod dete hain. Yeh samajhna bilkul ghalat hai. Do Alag Sunnatein: Dar-asal, yahan do alag-alag sunnatein hain: Pehli, poore Ramzan mein kam az kam ek baar Quran sunna. Dusri, Ramzan ke har roze ki raat ko 20 rakat Taraweeh padhna. 10-15 din mein Quran mukammal hone se Quran sunne ki sunnat toh poori ho gayi, lekin baaki ke dinon ki 20 rakat Taraweeh padhne ki sunnat abhi baaki hai. Isliye, jin logo ne shuru mein Quran mukammal sun liya hai, unke liye laazim hai ki wo Ramzan ke aakhiri din tak rozana 20 rakat Taraweeh (choti suraton ke saath) padhte rahein. Iske alawa, Isha ki namaz agar qareeb masjid ho toh wahan jamaat ke sath padhna hi behtar hai.
- 1. Importance & status of Taraweeh: Praying Taraweeh during Ramadan is a greatly significant act of worship in Islamic law. It is Sunnah Mu'akkadah (emphasized Sunnah) for every sane, adult man and woman. Sunnah Mu'akkadah means it is a practice that our Prophet (SAW) regularly performed and discouraged abandoning without a valid excuse. Performing 20 rak'ahs of Taraweeh each night of Ramadan is necessary. If someone occasionally misses it due to illness, fatigue, or a strong excuse, they are not sinful. However, habitually abandoning it without reason or being deliberately lazy makes a Muslim sinful.
- 2. Correct time for Taraweeh: A fundamental principle is that the time for Taraweeh begins only after performing the Isha obligatory (farz) prayer. If someone mistakenly or hastily makes the intention for Taraweeh and prays before the Isha farz, according to Sharia that prayer will not count as Taraweeh; it will be considered a general 'nafl' prayer. The correct method is to first perform the Isha farz, then the Isha sunnah, and then begin Taraweeh. Its time remains until true dawn (the end of Sehri time).
- 3. Rulings on praying Taraweeh at home: Whether farz or Taraweeh, for men it is superior and better in Sharia to pray it in congregation at the mosque. Praying at home: However, if for some reason (duty, illness, fatigue) one misses the mosque congregation, it can be prayed at home alone or by forming a family congregation. For women, praying alone at home is already superior. Lack of time: Another important issue is if you wake up late and very little time remains (e.g., Sehri time is about to end) and praying all 20 rak'ahs is impossible, then pray as many rak'ahs as you can with ease and tranquility. It is hoped from Allah that you will receive reward according to your intention and sincerity. (the sunnah for remaining nights remains)
- 4. Completing Quran in 10 or 15 days – common mistake: Nowadays a common misunderstanding exists: in some mosques the entire Quran is completed within Taraweeh in 10 or 15 days, and people think their Taraweeh for the whole Ramadan is complete. Then they stop praying Taraweeh on the remaining nights. This understanding is completely wrong. Two separate Sunnahs: In reality, there are two distinct Sunnahs: First, to listen to the complete Quran at least once during Ramadan. Second, to pray 20 rak'ahs of Taraweeh every night of Ramadan. Completing the Quran in 10-15 days fulfills the sunnah of listening to the Quran, but the sunnah of praying 20 rak'ahs Taraweeh for the remaining nights still remains. Therefore, those who have heard the complete Quran early must continue praying 20 rak'ahs (with short surahs) every night until the end of Ramadan. Additionally, if the Isha prayer is available at a nearby mosque, praying with congregation is better.
