In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You" Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Everything you wanted to know about Taraweeh(1 of 3) 1 : It is Sunnatul Muakkadah to performTaraweeh with jamaah. If the entire community omits performing Taraweeh with Jamaah, all will be sinful for this omission. By performing the taraweeh with the congregation at home the virtue will be obtained. However the additional reward of 27 times which is obtained by joining the congregation of the Musjid will not be obtained. read more Praying Taraweeh in the mosque in congregation is better than praying at home http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/45781/Taraweeh Dr Zakir naik about Ramadan taraweeh 8 or 20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSADd3dBHKU ________________________________ 2 : For the purposes of Taraweeh one made the intention of performing "the salaah of the nights of Ramadhaan," or "Taraweeh," or merely the intention of performing the "Sunnah," or the intention of "following the Imaam," all these intentions will be valid and the Taraweeh will be fulfilled. Merely intending to perform salaah or making the intention of nafil salaah will not suffice for Taraweeh. ________________________________ 3 : If after the Taraweeh it was discovered that the Esha salaah was null and void due to the Imaam having left out a fundamental aspect of salaah, or having forgotten to make wudhu, etc., the Esha as well as the Taraweeh must be repeated. ________________________________ 4 : The Imaam should recite Bismillah aloud, in the same tone that he is reciting the rest of the Quraan, at least once in Taraweeh. This could be done at the beginning of any surah. ________________________________ 5 : During the recitation in Taraweeh if some aayats were missed. The error was only realised after having recited some portion of the Quraan after the missed aayats. The missed aayats must now be recited. In this case it will be preferable to repeat the recitation of the section of the Quraan that was already recited after the missed aayats. ________________________________ 6 : After the Imaam made salaam, the muqtadies (followers) differed in whether the Imaam had performed two rakaats or three rakaats. In such a situation the view of the Imaam will be given preference. ________________________________ 7 : It is most virtuous to perform the sajda tilaawat immediately after reciting the aayat of sajda. If he recites more than three aayats and did not as yet perform the sajda, the time for that sajda tilaawat has elapsed. Now it cannot be fulfilled in salaah nor outside salaah. The only recourse is tauba and istighfaar (repentance). read more The imaam forgot and stood up for a third rakah in Salaat al-Taraaweeh,then he sat down http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/8413/Taraweeh ________________________________ 8 : The Imaam performed sajda tilaawat after having recited an aayah of sajda which appears at the end of the surah. After rising from the sajda tilaawat he should not proceed immediately into ruku (due to having completed the sura). He should first recite at least three aayats before going into ruku. ________________________________ 9 : If Taraweeh had already been performed in a Musjid with jamaah, on the same night another Taraweeh salaah may not be performed with Jamaah in the same Musjid. It could nevertheless be performed individually. (Bahr) ________________________________ 10 : It is permissible to perform the Esha behind one Imaam and the Taraweehand witr behind another Imaam. (Kabiri) ________________________________ 11 : It is not permissible to appoint a boy who is not yet baaligh (i.e. he has not reached puberty) to lead the Taraweeh Salaah. However if those who are following him are also all children (not baaligh) it will be permissible. (Kabiri, Khaniya) ________________________________ 12 : If the Imaam of ones Musjid does not recite the Quraan correctly, it is permissible to go to another Musjid to fulfil the Taraweeh Salaah. (Alamghiri) ________________________________ 13 : It is makrooh tahrimi to appoint a person to perform Taraweeh Salaah for a fixed salary. (Alamghiri) ________________________________ 14 : A person has already performed his Taraweeh Salaah, either as an Imaam or as a follower. He now cannot lead another congregation in Salaah elsewhere on the same night. However, if he joins another jamaat of Taraweeh elsewhere as a follower with the intention of performing nafil, it is permissible. (Kabiri) ________________________________ 15 : After every four rakaats it is mustahab to remain sitting for some time. The same applies after the last four rakaats. However, if the followers find this onerous and tiring, it may be left out. (Aalmaghiri). To be contd....
