Taraweeh prayer is a cherished ritual during Ramadan, offering a spiritual experience for Muslims around the world. With the sighting of the moon of Ramzan, the period of prayers also begins.

Offering prayers five times daily is a fundamental part of Islam and is mentioned in their Holy book Quran. In Islam, Namaz becomes obligatory for all those who believe in Allah and His Messenger, whether man or woman, poor or rich, it is necessary for all people to offer Namaz 5 times a day.

What is The Taraweeh Prayer?
As a Sunnah-e-Muwaqda prayer, Prophet Muhammad was consistent in performing it, making it an established practice during the holy month of Ramadan. Therefore, apart from offering 5 prayers, it is also important to offer Taraweeh prayers in the month of Ramadan. This prayer, consisting of 20 Rakats performed in pairs with a Salam after every two, becomes a nightly devotion after the Isha prayer throughout Ramadan.

The practice of Taraweeh varies whether one is praying in a congregation or alone. For those praying behind an Imam, the Quran is recited throughout the prayer. Meanwhile, individuals praying at home typically recite ten Surahs from the 30th Para of the Quran across the Rakats. While Taraweeh is not obligatory, it is highly recommended, with men encouraged to join the congregation and women often praying at home.

How Many Rakats Are There In Taraweeh Namaz?
Taraweeh Namaz is offered in 2 Rakats each for 20 Rakats i.e. Salam is offered after 2 Rakats. Similarly, 20 rak'ahs of Taraweeh prayer are offered with 2 rak'ahs of 10 salams each. Taraweeh namaz is offered after Isha namaz in Ramadan.
