Some Muslims even draw a Taraweeh prayer guide to track their progress and stay motivated to regularly pray it. “Prayer at night is called tahajjud or qiyam al-layl, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salah (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Quran in the prayer) as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawâfil) for you” [al-Isra’ 17:79] It is the night in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to pray (qiyaam). It is the night the morning of which is the twenty seventh, and the sign of it is that the sun rises on that morning white and without rays.’” Tarawih is a sunnah mu’akkadah – meaning a verified sunnah that the Prophet used to do consistently. He technically used to pray qiyam ul layl (optional nightly prayers) year-round, out of devotion to Allah (SWT). Explore the significance and practices of Qiyam, the nightly prayer during Ramadan, known for its long recitations of the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad emphasized that performing Qiyam during this holy month out of sincere faith leads to the forgiveness of past sins. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims conduct special prayers each night, called taraweeh, during which long portions of the Quran are recited.

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever observes night prayer in Ramadan as an expression of his faith and to seek reward from Allah, his previous sins will be blotted out." Anything Salah that is offered after Isha prayer and before Fajr is classified as part of the night prayer. There are different kinds of night prayers in Islam as we have taraweeh, witr Salah, and Tahajjud salah. In this article we will learn how to perfect tahajjud and the rewards associated for the Muslim who prays it. The community will gather in the mosque each night to perform the Ramadan congregational night prayer (Tarāwīḥ) prayers, which are voluntary but still highly recommended, and renew their relationship with the Qur’an, much of which was revealed during Ramadan. The Prophet ﷺ himself would review everything Allah had revealed to him during The night before Eid, known as Laylat al-Jaiza (the Night of Rewards). The term ‘Jaiza’ means a return or compensation, highlighting the idea of reaping the rewards for all our worship in Ramadan! “In the last night of Ramadan, forgiveness is granted to the fasting person.” The companions asked: “O Messenger of Allah! Praying at the end of the night is better, for those who can manage it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever is afraid that he will not get up at the end of the night, let him pray witr at the beginning of the night, but whoever feels that he will be able to get up at the end of the night, let him pray FILE - Worshippers perform a night prayer called 'Tarawih' during the eve of the first day of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan in Turkey at the Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul, Turkey The Spiritual Importance of the First Night of Ramadan.
