Prayers and rules of Taraweeh Namaz
Taraweeh Prayer:
Taraweeh prayer is an extra prayer performed after the Isha prayer during the month of Ramadan. It is considered one of the most important acts of worship during this month.
Rules of Taraweeh Prayer:
1. After the Isha prayer, two Rakats of Nafl (voluntary) prayer are performed.
2. It is recommended to perform Taraweeh prayer in congregation or individually every night during Ramadan.
3. The number of Rakats in Taraweeh prayer can vary, but it can be performed from 8 to 20 Rakats.
4. A short break is taken after every 4 Rakats. During this break, it is recommended to engage in Tasbih-Tahlil, recite Duas and Dhikr.
Dua after every 4 Rakats of Taraweeh Prayer:
سُبْحانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ سُبْحانَ ذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَالْعَظْمَةِ وَالْهَيْبَةِ وَالْقُدْرَةِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْجَبَرُوْتِ * سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْحَيِّ الَّذِيْ لَا يَنَامُ وَلَا يَمُوْتُ اَبَدًا اَبَدَ سُبُّوْحٌ قُدُّوْسٌ رَبُّنا وَرَبُّ المْلائِكَةِ وَالرُّوْحِ
