AS SALAAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKAATUHU. LET'S START TONIGHT'S EDUCATION. OUR TOPIC IS 👇. *TARAAWEEH (Final Episode )___*PAGE 1*___.
✍️...
🍃 Imam Ahmad said:
"There is no set number of rak'ahs for qiyaam during Ramadhaan, because the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) did not set a number."
🍃 Shaykh Ibn Baaz said:
“It is proven that 'Umar Radhi Allaahu anhu told the one whom he appointed among the Sahaabah to pray eleven rak'ahs, and it is also proven that they prayed twenty-three rak'ahs based on his command.
This indicates that the matter is broad in scope and that the matter was flexible according to the Sahaabah.
___*PAGE 2*___. ✍️...
That is also indicated by the words of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) :"The night prayers are two by two." (Majmoo' al-Fataawa)
🔹 *Can I hold the Qur'aan (Mus-haf) while praying Taraaweeh*?
It is much BETTER and more preferred that one should NOT be reading from the Qur'aan while praying Taraaweeh, in order to have full concentration and better khushoo' and avoiding excessive movements. However, IF reading from the Qur'aan while praying Taraaweeh, gives you better UNDERSTANDING of what the Imaam is reading, (that goes especially for non-Arabic speaking people), and gives you more KHUSHOO' and concentration, then some Ulama allowed holding the Qur'aan and following the recitation of the Imaam.
___*PAGE 3*___. ✍️...
🔹 *Taraweeh is NOT a bid'ah*
The Taraaweeh prayer is a CONFIRMED SUNNAH of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) and the established practice of his Sahaabah.
The Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) HIMSELF prayed it and led the people as did the Sahaabah, Tabi'een and the great Ulama of the following generations, following his example.
___*PAGE 4*___. ✍️...
🍃 Proof:
Aa'ishah Radhi Allaahu anha said that the Messenger of Allaah (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) prayed one night in the masjid, and the people followed him in prayer. Then he prayed the next night, and many people came. Then they gathered on the third or fourth night, and the Messenger of Allaah (sal Allaahu alaiyhi wa
sallam) did not come out to them.
The next morning he (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
"I saw what you did, and nothing kept me from coming out to you except the fact that I FEARED that it would be made OBLIGATORY for you." And that was in Ramadhaan."
(al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
___*PAGE 5*___. ✍️...
This proves that praying Taraweeh in congregation is prescribed according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam), but he (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) refrained from doing it continuously because he feared that it might become fardh on me and you.
When the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away, Umar Radhi Allaahu anhu revived this Sunnah since this reservation was no longer there, because the Sharee'ah was established and complete.
___*PAGE 6*___. ✍️...
🍃 When Ali Radhi Allaahu anhu passed by the masaajid in which there were lamps during the month of Ramadhaan, he said:
'May Allaah illuminate Umar's grave for him as he illuminated our mosques for us." (al-Mughni).
🔹 *Any specific duas to be read in between every two or four rakaat*❓
There is a very common misconception that there are some specific duas (called 'Dua Taraaweeh') to be read in between the rakaat. You see people reading it and even some masaajid have overhead projectors that highlight and show these duas to the people so that they can read them.
___*PAGE 7*___. ✍️...
There is NO PROOF in the Sharee'ah for that.
And neither the imam nor those praying behind him should read those duas. That's because acts of worship are 'tawqeefi' which mean that Ibaadah is governed by the principle that nothing is permitted except that which was prescribed by the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam). Constantly doing a particular act of worship at a particular time without any evidence for that from the Sharee'ah comes under the heading of BID’AH or innovation.
___*PAGE 8*___. ✍️...
🍃 The Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever does an action that is not part of this matter of ours (Islam) will have it rejected."
(al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
🔹 *Finishing the Qur'aan in Taraaweeh early does NOT mean there's no more Taraaweeh*
Some people are under the impression that if they finish the recitation of the Qur'aan early in Ramadhaan, then there's no more Taraaweeh.
That's absolutely NOT TRUE.
___*PAGE 9*___. ✍️...
The main goal in Ramadhaan is to stand in qiyaam at night...every single night, read a lot of Qur'aan and reflect on the ayaat....NOT to quickly finish the Qur'aan from cover to cover whether in five days or ten days or whatever and then the rest of Ramadhaan, you are 'off' from Taraaweeh!
Reading the Qur'aan in Taraaweeh is not a 'chore' or 'burden' that you get off your head. It is to humble yourself before Allaah, get yourself away from the dunya and its glamor and bring yourself back to the reality that one day we have to face our Lord and give account of ourselves.
___*PAGE 10*___.
✍️...
It is hard to believe that there are masaajid in Pakistan that hold Taraaweeh prayers in the first ten days of Ramadhaan ONLY.
Why?
So that they are 'done' with Taraaweeh and they don't have to pray this beautiful prayer for the rest of the nights of Ramadhaan because they 'finished' the Qur'aan.
Now they can do what they want; relax, shop, have fun, go to sleep... basically go back to their 'pre-Ramadhaan' state!
May Allaah guide us all and enable us to see and realize the real purpose of fasting and qiyaam and enable us to achieve that. Ameen.
