what do you think about shalat tarawih or qiyamul lail.. in there we will tell about shalat tarawih... ^_^
Tarawih (Arabic: تراويح) refers to extra congregational prayers performed by Muslims at night in the Islamic month of Ramadan.
They are not compulsory; however, many Muslims pray these prayers in
the night during Ramadan. Some scholars maintain that Tarawih is not a Sunnah, but is the preponed Tahajjud prayer shifted to post-Isha for the ease of believers.
Tarawih prayers are prayed in pairs of two and can be prayed in at least 20 raka‘āt
according to two schools (Hanafis, Shafi'i) of Sunni Islam. Some
believe that 8, 12 or 20 can be read. A break is taken after every 4
rak'ah - Imam Malik added 4 raka'h in each break (to account for the
time spent in Tawaf, since he was in Madinah)
thus taking the total number to 36. Due to varying numbers, the number
of prayers performed is broad in scope. This prayer is performed only
during Ramadan of the Islamic calendar after Salāt of Isha'a. Muslims believe it is customary to attempt a khatm "complete recitation" of the Qur'an in Ramadan by reciting at least one juz' per night in tarawih. Tarawih prayers are considered optional, not mandatory.
