TARAWIH PRAYER.

Tarawih prayer

This prayer is called “TARAWIH”, meaning “THE ACT OF TAKING REST.” Tarawih is performed in the month of fasting. The number of rak’ats at first was eleven, and it was increased to twenty with an addition of three rak’ats of Witr prayers. The Holy Prophet fixed no time at night wherein it could be said, but it should be after I’sha and before Fajir prayers. The Prophet himself generally performed it at the latter portion of the night, having taken rest in the early part, and sometimes when one-third of the night had passed by. At the time of the Holy Prophet and of Abu Bakr and of Omer, Tarawih was performed separately at home. It was Omer who introduced the system of congregation in Tarawih and added it after the I’sha prayer.
