Namaz, which is performed during the month of Ramadan, is called Tarawih. This prayer is performed after the Isha prayer but before the Witr prayer.
The difference between Tarawih prayer and Tahajjut lies in the number of rak'ahs and the time of performance. They begin to perform Tarawih prayer on the first night of the month of Ramadan, and end on the last night of fasting. This prayer is preferably performed by the jamaat in the mosque if it is not possible to visit the mosque. Usually in mosques during Tarawih prayers, one juz of Qur'an is read in order to read it completely in the month of Ramadan. This is very important because not everyone has the opportunity to read the Qur'an for themselves this month.
How many rak'ahs of Tarawih prayer should be read?
You can read 8 rak'ahs - this opinion refers to the Shafi'i madhhab, and you can also read 20 rak'ahs - this is the opinion of the scientists of the Hanafi madhhab. Many scholars rely on the opinions of the companions, who agreed on ijma, that is, the general agreement on the definition of 20 rak'ahs for Tarawih prayers.
Hafiz Ibn Abdulbarr said: “The Companions did not have disputes over this issue” (“Al-Istizkar”, v.5, p.157).
Allama Ibn Kudama reported: “In the era of Saiduna Umar (may Allar be pleased with him), the companions made ijma on this issue” (“Al-Mugni”).
Hafiz Abu Zur "ah Al-Iraqi said: "They (Alims) recognized the consent of the companions [when Saiduna Umar did this] as ijma" ("Tarh at-Tasrib", part 3, p. 97).
Mulla Ali Kari decided that the companions (may Allar be pleased with them) had ijma on the issue of performing twenty rak'ahs ("Mirkat al-Mafatih", v.3, p.194).
At the same time, supporters of 8 rak'ahs rely on the words of Aisha. She answered the question: “How did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pray on the nights of Ramadan?” more than eleven rak'ats ”(al-Bukhari 1147, Muslim 738. That is, 8 rak'ahs of Tarawih prayer and 3 rak'ahs of Witr prayer).
Rules for performing Taraweeh prayer
As mentioned above, the Tarawih prayer consists of 8 or 20 rak'ahs. Namaz is performed 2 rak'ahs 4 times or 10 times, that is, 2 rak'ahs are read as 2 rak'ahs Fajr prayer and so it is repeated 4 times or 10 times. The result is 8 and 20 rak'ahs, respectively. You can also read 4 rak'ahs 5 times. There is a short break between every 2 or 4 rak'ahs. In mosques, it is used for small sermons. And if a person performs prayer at home, then you can do dhikr or read Qur'an at this time.
Reward for Taraweeh prayer
The hadith says: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) encouraged people to perform additional night prayers during Ramadan, but did not oblige them in a categorical form, but said: “To the one who stood the nights of the month of Ramadan in prayers with faith and hope for the reward of Allahha, his former sins will be forgiven"(al-Bukhari 37, Muslim 759).
Imam al-Baji said: “This hadeeth contains a great motivation to perform night prayers in Ramadan, and it is necessary to strive for this, since this act contains the expiation of past sins. Know that in order for sins to be forgiven, it is necessary to perform these prayers with faith in the truth of the promise of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and striving to earn the reward of Allah, moving away from window dressing and everything that violates deeds! (“al-Muntaqa” 251). +
Another hadith tells: “Once a man came to the prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah! Do you know that I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that you are the messenger of Allah, and that I pray, pay zakat, observe fasting and stand the nights of Ramadan in prayers?!”
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever dies on this will be in Paradise among the truthful and martyrs!”(al-Bazzar, Ibn Khuzayma, Ibn Hibban. Authentic Hadith. See “Sahih at-targhib” 1/419).
Hafiz Ibn Rajab said: “Know that in the month of Ramadan, two types of jihad against the soul gather in the believer! Jihad with daytime for the sake of fasting, and jihad with the night for the sake of performing night prayers. And the one who combines these two types of jihad in himself will deserve a reward without counting!” (“Lataiful-ma’arif” 171).
With the name of Allah the Merciful, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah - the Lord of the worlds, peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, members of his family and all his companions!
REWARD FOR PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT Prayer IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN
1. In two hadiths first of which Abu Hurairah narrated, he is reported to have said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) encouraged (them) to perform the night prayer in the month of Ramadan, without making it obligatory. Then he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If anyone performs the night prayer in the month of Ramadan with firm faith and hoping to be rewarded, his past (small) sins will be forgiven.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed away and the matter remained in that state. This situation continued during the reign of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and part of the period of the reign of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
Second narrated by 'Amr bin Murra al-Juhani who said: A man from Guda'a came to the Messenger of Allah and asked him: “O Messenger of Allah, what will you say if I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah, I will perform five daily prayers and a night prayer in the month of Ramadan and give zakat?” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If anyone dies in such a state, then he will be from among the Siddigins and martyrs”».
THE NIGHT OF AL-GADAR AND ITS SET TIME
2. The most the best night in the month of Ramadan, this is the night of al-Ghadr, based on the saying of the Prophet: “If someone performs the night prayer on the night of al-Ghadr (and this is accepted) with firm faith and hoping to be rewarded, then his past sins will be forgiven».
3. According to the strongest opinion, this falls on the twenty-seventh night of the month of Ramadan. This is indicated by most of the hadiths, including the hadith of Zur bin Hubaysh, who said: “ When Ubay bin Ka'ab (may Allah be pleased with him) was told that Abdullah bin Masud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “If anyone performs night prayer (every night) during the whole year, then he will reach the night Al-Ghadr”, I heard him ( Ubai bin Ka'ab) said: “May Allah have mercy on him, his intention was that people would not (become lazy) and depend only (on one night). I swear by Him besides Whom there is no deity worthy of worship, it truly falls on the month of Ramadan. And I swear by Allah I know what night it happens. This happens on the night when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered us to perform the night prayer. It happens on the twenty-seventh night. Its sign is that the next morning the sun rises brightly and without rays.”". In one report, this is quoted as a saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
THE LEGALITY OF NIGHT Prayer with Jamaat
4. Performing night prayers in the jamaat is legalized in religion. In fact, it is better than performing this prayer alone, because the Prophet himself established this and explained its benefits in his statement in the hadith of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “We fasted in the month of Ramadan with the Messenger of Allah, but he did not become our imam in the (collective) night prayer during this month until the last seven days arrived. Then he became our imam in the night prayer for one third of the night. When the sixth night came, he did not lead the night prayer. Then on the fifth night (i.e. 25th night) he led the prayer for half the night. I said, “O Messenger of Allah! Can we complete the rest of the night in prayer?” He replied: “Indeed, when a person performs prayer with the imam to the end, it is counted for him, as if he performed prayer all night.” Then on the fourth night he did not perform the night prayer (in the jamaat). On the third night (i.e. the 27th night), he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gathered his family, wives and people and led us in the night prayer until we began to fear that we would miss the falah (benefit )". I asked, "What does falah mean?" He (Abu Dharr) replied: “Suhoor (pre-dawn meal). Then he did not lead us in the night prayer for the rest of the month.”.
THE REASON WHY THE PROPHET DID NOT CONTINUE TO MAKE THE NIGHT Prayer in Jamaat
5. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stopped making taraweeh in the Jamaat during the rest of the month only out of fear that the night prayer would become obligatory for them in the month of Ramadan and they would not be able to perform it. This is stated in the hadeeth of Aisha given in both Sahihs and other collections. But with his (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) death, when Allaah completed the revelation of religion, this fear came to an end. Therefore, the result of this fear also came to an end, i.e. not performing the night prayer in the jamaat during Ramadan. And his previous position, i.e. the legality of performing this prayer in the jamaat has been preserved. Therefore, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) revived it later, as reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and other collections.
LEGALITY OF WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN THE NIGHT PRAYER WITH JAMAAT
6. The participation of women in the collective night prayer is legalized as indicated in the previous hadith of Abu Dharr. In fact, it is even allowed to appoint an imam for women separately from an imam for men. The evidence is a reliable report that when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered people for the night prayer, he appointed Ubay bin Ka'ab as an imam for men and Suleiman bin Abi Hasm as an imam for women. Arfaja al-Sagafi reported: “Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered people to pray at night in the month of Ramadan. And he appointed one imam for men and another for women. I was an imam for women." I think that this can only be if the mosque is spacious enough so that one group does not interfere with the other.
NUMBER OF RAKATS IN THE NIGHT Prayer
7. The number of rakahs in the night prayer is eleven, and we, following the example of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), prefer that this number not increase. Truly, he did not increase this number until he left this world. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked about the night prayer of the Prophet during the month of Ramadan. She answered: “The Messenger of Allah did not perform more than eleven rak'ahs (in the night prayer) during Ramadan or after it. He performed four rak'ahs, but don't ask how beautiful and long they were. Then he performed another four rak'ahs, but do not ask how beautiful and long they were. Then he prayed three rak'ahs».
8. You can reduce this number down to one rakah for prayer vitre. This is based on the action and saying of the Prophet. As for the action, Aisha was asked about how many rakahs the Messenger of Allah performed in prayer vitre. She replied: "He did vitre with four rak'ahs, and then three, with six rak'ahs, and then three, and with ten rak'ahs, and then three. He didn't commit vitre with less than seven and more than thirteen rak'ahs." As for his (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) statements, they are as follows: Vitr is true. If one wishes, let him perform Witr with five rak'ahs. If one wishes, let him perform Witr with three rak'ahs. And if someone wishes, let him perform Witr with one rak'ah.".
READING GUR'AN IN THE NIGHT Prayer
9. As for the recitation of Gur'an in the night prayer in the month of Ramadan or after it, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not set any restrictions on this matter. In the night prayer, he recited both long and short suras. Sometimes he recited Sura Muzzammil, which contains twenty verses, in each rakah, and sometimes he recited fifty verses. And he said: “If someone performs a night prayer, reciting one hundred verses, then he will not be recorded as negligent.” And in another hadith it says: “If someone performs a night prayer, reading two hundred verses, then he will be recorded as righteous and sincere.”. One night, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was ill, he recited seven long suras: Al-Bagara, Aali 'Imran, An-Nisa, Al-Maida, Al-An'am, Al-A'raf and At-Tauba. Hudhayfa bin al-Yaman said that he performed the night prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited Surah Al-Bagara, Aali ‘Imran and An-Nisa in one rakah. And he read them in a slow and calm tone. According to the most reliable isnad, it is reported that when Umar ordered Ubay bin Ka'ab to lead the people in the night prayer in the month of Ramadan, Ubay recited hundreds of verses and those behind him leaned against the supports from prolonged standing. And they didn't stop until the first signs of dawn appeared. It is also reliably reported from Umar that he gathered readers during Ramadan and ordered the one who read quickly to read thirty verses, the one who read moderately to read twenty-five verses and the one who read slowly to read twenty verses. Thus, based on the foregoing, it can be argued that if someone performs a night prayer, then he can lengthen the prayer as much as he likes. The same is true if someone else joins him. Of course, there is more reward in lengthening the prayer, but one should not overdo it, for example, staying up all night, except special occasions following the path of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said: « Best Guide is the guidance of Muhammad».
When the imam leads the prayer, he should not lengthen the prayer to such an extent that it causes difficulty for those who stand behind him. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “If any of you leads people in prayer, he should facilitate (i.e. shorten) prayer, as among them there are [young] and older, as well as weak, [sick] [and those who need to meet the needs ]. And if he alone performs prayer, then he can lengthen it as much as he likes..
NIGHT PRAYER TIME
10. The time of the night prayer is the time after the 'Isha prayer until the beginning of the Fajr prayer. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Indeed, Allah has added prayer for you, and this is Witr. So perform this prayer between the prayers of ‘Isha and Fajr..
11. Prayer in the last part of the night is better for everyone who is able to do it, based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “If someone is afraid that he will not be able to stand up for prayer in the last part of the night, let him pray in the first part of the night. And if someone wants to pray in the last part of the night, let him perform Witr in the last part of the night, because indeed the prayer in the last part of the night is witnessed (by the angels), and it is better».
12. If one is faced with the choice of praying in the first part of the night with the jamaat or praying alone in the last part of the night, then praying with the jamaat is better. Because in this case, it will be recorded for him as if he had prayed all night, as we indicated in paragraph 4 in the hadith, which has reached the level of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Under Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), the Companions continued to follow this. ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Abdin al-Ghari said: " One night during Ramadan, I went to the mosque with Umar Ibn Al-Khattab and when we arrived, we saw a disunited crowd of people. Someone performed the prayer on their own, and someone led a small group of people in prayer. He (Umar) said: “By Allah, I think it would be much better if I united these people behind one reciter.” He then followed this and united the people behind Ubay bin Ka'ab. Then another night I went with him and people were praying behind one reciter. And Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “What a wonderful innovation this is. But the time when they sleep is better than the time when they pray now, ”meaning last part night. And people performed night prayers in the first part of the night..
Zeid bin Wahb said: " Abdullah led us in prayer during the month of Ramadan and then stopped at night.”.
TYPES OF PERFORMING NIGHT Prayer
13. I have written about this in detail in my Salat-ut-Taraweeh (pp. 101-115) so I have seen fit to briefly discuss this matter in order to make it easier for the reader and to remind him of the following:
First view: consists of thirteen rak'ahs, which begin with two short rak'ahs. According to the most correct opinion, these are two sunnah rak'ahs performed after the 'Isha prayer, or these are two special rak'ahs from which the night prayer begins, as indicated earlier. After that, two very long rak'ahs are performed. Then two other rak'ahs are performed, then two more rak'ahs. Then two more rak'ahs and two more rak'ahs. Then one rak'ah is done Vitr.
Second view: consists of thirteen rak'ahs. Eight rak'ahs are performed taslim after every two rak'ahs. Then it's done Vitr five rakahs and at the same time taslim only in the fifth rak'ah.
Third view: consists of eleven rak'ahs, in which taslim it is said after every two rak'ahs, and then at the end it is performed Vitr with one rakah.
Fourth view: consists of eleven rak'ahs, in which four rak'ahs are performed and taslim says in the fourth rak'ah. Then, in the same form, four more rak'ahs are performed and completed with three rak'ahs (for vitra).
Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) remain in a seated position after every second rak'ah when praying four or three rak'ahs? We do not find a clear answer to this, but to remain in a sitting position (for tashahhuda) when performing a prayer of three rak'ahs, it is not legal (in religion)!
Fifth kind: consists of eleven rak'ahs, in which eight rak'ahs are performed with squatting only in the eighth rak'ah. During the sitting position (in the eighth rakah) it is said tashahhud and salawat to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and then the person gets up without taslima. Then it's done Vitr with one rakah and after completion it says taslim. This is nine rak'ahs. After that, two rak'ahs are performed in a sitting position.
Sixth look: Nine rak'ahs are performed, while a person sits down only after the sixth rak'ah. Then read tashahhud and salawat to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), after which the person gets up again without taslima. Then it's done Vitr three rakahs and at the end it says taslim, etc. (the rest is done in the same form as indicated in the previous form).
These are the types with which, as it has come down to us, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed the night prayer. It is possible to change the types by reducing up to one rak'ah, based on the already cited hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “If someone wishes, let him do vitre with five rakahs. If someone wants, let him do vitre with three rakahs. And if someone wants, let him do vitre with one rak'ah." Thus, if someone wants, then he can make these five rak'ahs or three rak'ahs without stopping with one taslim as indicated in the second manner. And if someone wants, then he can speak taslim after every second rakah as indicated in the third form and this is preferable.
As for offering five or three rak'ahs with sitting after every second rak'ah, but without taslima we have not found any reliable report of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) doing this. In fact, this is allowed, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade us to do vitre with three rak'ahs, indicating the reason in his statement: “And do not liken it to prayerMaghreb". Therefore, if someone does vitre with three rak'ahs, then he should not liken it to prayer Maghreb. This can be done in two ways:
- 1. pronounce taslim between an even and an odd number of rak'ahs (i.e. between the second and third rak'ahs). This is more reliable and preferable.
- 2. Do not sit between an even and an odd number of rak'ahs (i.e. perform three rak'ahs without stopping with one taslim) and Allah knows best.
READING GUR’AN IN THREE RAKATS OF VITRA
14. As for the three rak'ahs vitra It is Sunnah to recite Surat Al-A'la in the first rak'ah, Surah Al-Kafirun in the second rak'ah, and Surah Al-Ikhlas in the third rak'ah. Sometimes he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) added Surah Al-Falagh and An-Nas to the third rak'ah. It is authentically reported that once he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited one hundred verses from Surah An-Nisa in vitre.
PRAYER GUNUT AND ITS PLACE
15. After reading (from Gur'an) and before doing hand you can sometimes read dua gunut which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught his grandson Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): “O Allah, guide me with those whom You have guided to the straight path, and protect me with those whom You have protected, and help me with those whom You have helped. Bless me with what You have given me and protect me from the evil of what You have ordained. Verily You command, and no one can command You. The one whose friend You are will never be humiliated, and the one who is Your enemy will never be honored. Glorified are You, our Lord and Most High. There is no refuge from You except to You". And sometimes you should say salawat to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as will be indicated later.
16. No harm in committing gunuta after hand, adding to this the curse of the unbelievers, salawat to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and prayers for Muslims in the second half of Ramadan, based on the fact that this was done by the imams during the reign of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). In the last part of the above hadith Abdur-Rahman bin Abdin al-Ghari stated: “And they cursed the unbelievers in the second part (of Ramadan), saying: “O Allah! Curse the unbelievers who lead (people) astray from Your path, do not believe in Your messengers and do not believe in Your promise. Place fear in their hearts. And send them Your punishment and torment, Lord of Truth!”.Then he (i.e. the imam) said salawat to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), asked for all the good things for the Muslims and prayed to Allah to forgive the Muslims ”. Then he ( Abdur Rahman) said: “After cursing the unbelievers, salawat to the Prophet, praying for the forgiveness of believing men and women and dua to Allah, he said: “O Allah! You we worship and You we pray and worship. And we hope for Your mercy, our Lord. And we fear you severe punishment. Verily, Your punishment will befall Your enemies.” Then he said takbir and did sajda (prostration)».
WHAT TO SAY IN THE LAST PART OF VITR
17. The Sunnah is to say at the end vitra(or before salam, or after that): “O Allah! I seek Your satisfaction from Your displeasure and Your forgiveness from Your punishment. And I seek refuge in You from You. No one can count the praise that has been given to You, and You are the way You praise Yourself.” .
18. And after salam to complete vitra need to say: "Subhan al-Malik al-Gudduus, Subhan al-Malik al-Gudduus, Subhan al-Malik al-Gudduus "(i.e. three times), lengthening the syllables and raising the voice for the third time.
TWO RAKAT AFTER THIS
19 . After that, you can perform two rak'ahs as it is reliably reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did this. In fact, he even ordered his ummah to perform these two rak'ahs. : “Verily, this path is a struggle and a burden, and when one of you makes witr, let him make two rak'ahs (after that). If he wakes up (then he must commit them), and if not, then they are recorded for him.
20. Reading surah al-Zilzal and al-Kafirun in these two rak'ahs is sunnah.
This hadeeth was narrated by Muslim and others, and also by Al-Bukhari in the form marfu from the prophet. This hadeeth with all reports is given in Irwa-ul-Galil (4/14/906) and in Sahih Abu Dawud (1241). May Allah make it easy for me to complete and publish this book. Brother Zuhair, in his commentary on my book The Two Eid Prayers (p. 32), which was published in 1404 AH, said: "Allah has facilitated the publication of the first volume of our teacher Al-Albani's Sahih Abu Dawood." But by Allah, I do not know how it can be when the first volume is still in my possession and I have not yet allowed anyone to make a copy of it, let alone publish and distribute it. Like this, he also said in the fourth edition of my book At-Tawassul (p. 22), published in 1403 AH, that the third volume of Silsilat-ul-Ahadith ad-Da'ifa was published, whereas before today(rajab 1406 AH) it has not yet been published.
Note. translation: Siddigami they are called those who were the first to believe in the prophets and testified to the truth in difficult times.
This hadeeth was reported by Ibn Khuzayma and Ibn Hibban in their Sahihs, as well as others with a reliable isnad. See my commentary on Ibn Khuzayma (3/340/2262) and Sahih at-Targhib (1/419/993).
This hadith was reported by Al-Bukhari, Muslim and others from the story of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Ahmad (5/318) from the story of Ubada bin As-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him). The addition in brackets to the hadeeth is due to him and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah. Important note: In the first edition of this book, I added another addition to the last part of this hadith - "and its future sins" - based on the conclusions of Al-Munziri and Al-Asqalani regarding the authenticity of this hadith. Then Allah gave me the opportunity to more thoroughly check the isnaad of this hadeeth and its reports from Abu Hurairah and Ubada, which, as far as I know, no one did before me. As a result, I found out that this addition - "and his future sins" - is shaz(irregular, i.e. weak) from Abu Hureyra and munkar(rejected) from Ubada. I came to the conclusion that those who announced the message of Abu Hureyra hassan, and Ubada's message is sahih, based on their position regarding the first transmitters of the isnad without checking other reports. I confirmed this in a more extended form in Silsilat-ul-Ahadith al-Daifah (No. 5083). Therefore, unlike the first edition of At-Targhib, I did not mention this addition to the hadith of Abu Hureyra when I quoted this hadith in Sahih at-Targhib wat-Targhib (982). The same applies to the hadeeth of 'Ubadah. And only Allah will grant success.
The performance of a collective holiday prayer is a symbol of brotherhood and unity of believers. Holidays are the grace of Allah, they play big role in the reconciliation and rapprochement of Muslims.
There are two Muslim holidays:
1. Feast of Conversation (Arabic “‘id al-fitr”, Turk. “Uraza- bairam"") - the 1st of the month of Shawwal;
2. Feast of the Sacrifice (Arabic “‘id al-adha”, Turk. “tourban-bairam”) - the 10th day of the month of Zul Hijjah.
Holiday prayers belong to the category wajib(necessary) for those who are obligatory for Friday prayer ( al-jum‘ A). The festive prayer consists of 2 rak'yaats and is performed collectively. In this prayer, the adhan and iqamah are not read. holiday sermon ( khutbah) is desirable ( SunnA) and is read after prayer, unlike a sermon Friday prayer (al-jum'a), which is mandatory ( fard) and is read before performing the prayer itself.
The order of performing the holiday prayer differs from other prayers in that six additional takbirs are performed in it: three in the first rak'yah and three in the second.
ORDER OF FESTIVE PRAYERS
1st canceryaat:
- Prayers behind the imam become even rows behind him. Make an intention: “I intended to fulfill holiday prayer (Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Adha), following the imam for the sake of Allah Almighty”;
- The Imam raises his hands and says: "Allahu Akbar". Those who pray after him repeat the takbir, then fold their hands, as in other prayers.
- The imam and those praying behind him read in a whisper dua "Fromana» ;
- After that, three additional takbirs are pronounced. Imam aloud, praying behind him in a whisper pronounce takbir "Allahu Akbar" while raising hands (as during the opening takbir (TakbirAl-iftitah) ), then lower their hands. After a short pause, the second and after another short pause, the third takbirs are done in the same way.
- The Imam reads in a whisper "A'uzu-Bismillah", reads surah Al-Fatiha and another surah from the Koran aloud. Those praying behind the imam at this time do not read anything and listen to the imam.
- The imam and those praying behind him make a waist ( hand ‘) and 2 bow to the ground (sujud), after which they stand on the 2nd rak'ah.
2nd canceryaat:
- The Imam reads in a whisper "Bismillah", then aloud the sura "Al-Fatiha" and another sura.
- After that, just as in the first rak'ah, the imam aloud and those who pray behind him in a whisper, raising their hands to the level of their ears, pronounce three takbirs "Allahu Akbar" pausing between them. After the third takbir, without raising your hands, with the words "Allahu Akbar" commit waist ( hand ‘) and 2 earthly bows ( sujud).
- After that, the last sitting is performed, during which the imam and those praying behind him in a whisper read successively: "At-tahiyat", "Salavat", dua "Rabbana Atina". Then perform a greeting ( Asalam) and complete the prayer.
After prayer, the imam rises to the minbar and reads a festive sermon ( khutbA).
The exaltation of Allah in the days of the holiday "Eid al-Adha" - Takbir
"At-tashrik"
Beginning with morning prayer day of ‘Arafah (9th day of the month of Zul-Hijjah) and ending with the afternoon prayer ( al-‘asr) 4 days of the Feast of Sacrifice (13th day of the month of Zul-Hijjah) after each fard prayer (23 prayers in total) wajib(necessary) is the reading of a special takbir "at-tashrik":
Reading this takbir is a wajib both during the collective and during the individual prayer. Men read the takbir aloud, and women - silently. After prayer "al-initr» takbir "at-tashrik" is not read.
Making up for missed prayers kada) in these holidays it is also necessary to read the takbir "at-tashrik". When making up for missed prayers on these holidays at other times, the at-tashrik takbir is not read.
Actions that are desirable to perform on holidays.
On the day of the holiday, it is advisable to get up early in the morning, do a full bath ( ghusl), put on the prettiest clothes. Men perfume themselves with incense and go to the mosque. Along the way, be friendly, give alms ( sadaqah), to congratulate fellow believers on the holiday.

Prayer (prayer) Taraweeh
This Tarawih prayer is an obligatory sunnah ( sunna muakkiada) for both men and women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever stands up the prayer in the month of Ramadan with faith [in its significance] and expectation of reward [for it only from the Lord], the previous sins will be forgiven.”
The time for performing the Tarawih prayer comes after the night prayer (‘Isha’) and lasts until the dawn. This prayer is performed every day during the entire month of Ramadan (the month of obligatory fasting). Namaz Witr these days is performed after the Tarawih prayer.
The best is to perform this prayer together with other believers (jama‘at) in the mosque, although it is permissible to perform it individually. Today, when people seem to be in prostration, in conditions of spiritual emptiness and lack of positive communication, attending collective prayers, and even more so such as Tarawih, contributes to the emergence of a sense of community, unity. A mosque is a place where people communicate by praying together, praising the Almighty, reading the Koran, regardless of social, intellectual or national differences.
“The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) on the 23rd, 25th and 27th nights of the month of Ramadan performed this prayer together with his companions in the mosque. He didn't do it daily so people wouldn't perceive this prayer as mandatory; so that it does not pass into the rank of obligatory (faraid). Together with them, he read eight rak'yaats, they read the rest of the rak'yaats at home.
The fact that the Prophet and his companions read up to twenty rak'yaats in Tarawiha became clear from the actions of the second righteous caliph 'Umar. He canonically fixed twenty rak'yaats in this prayer. ‘Abdurahman ibn ‘Abdul-Qari narrated: “I entered the mosque with ‘Umar in the month of Ramadan. In the mosque we saw that everyone was reading separately, in small groups. ‘Umar exclaimed: “It would be very good to make them a single jamaat!” That is exactly what he did, appointing ‘Ubeyya ibn Kya’b as imam. Imam Malik adds: “During the time of ‘Umar, twenty rak’ahs of the Tarawih prayer were read. Since that moment, twenty rak'yaats have been established as a sunnah. At the same time, there is a mention of eight rak'yaats." However, the Tarawih ritual, consisting of twenty rak'yaats, was finally approved by Caliph ‘Umar with the consent of the companions of the Prophet, which was recognized by a significant part of the theologians of a later period.
The Tarawih prayer is performed after two rak'yaats of the sunnah of the night prayer ('Isha'). It is desirable to perform it in two rak'yats, the order of which corresponds to the usual two rak'yats of the sunnah. The time of this prayer ends with the onset of dawn, that is, with the beginning of time morning prayer(Fajr). If a person could not perform the Tarawih prayer before the expiration of its term, then it is not necessary to make up for it.
Following the example of the companions of the Prophet, after every four rak'yaats, it is advisable to take a short break, during which it is recommended to praise and commemorate the Almighty, listen to a short sermon or indulge in thoughts about God.
One of the formulas for praising the Almighty may be the following:
سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ
سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ
سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ
سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ نَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ ، نَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ
“Subhaana zil-mulki val-malyakuut.
Subhaana zil-‘izzati wal-‘azamati wal-kudrati wal-kibriyayi wal-jabaruut.
Subhaanal-malikil-hayil-lyazii laya yamuut.
Subbuuhun kudduusun rabbul-malayaikyati var-ruuh.
Laya ilyayahe illa llaahu nastagfirullaa, nas’elukyal-jannata wa na’uuzu bikya minan-naar ... "
“Holy and Ideal is he Who has earthly and heavenly dominion. Holy is he Who has power, majesty, boundless strength, power over everything and infinite power. Holy is he who is the Lord of all, who is eternal. Death will never befall him. He is praised and holy. He is the Lord of the angels and the Holy Spirit (Jabrail's angel - Gabriel). There is no god but the One and Only Creator. O God, forgive us and have mercy! We ask You for Paradise and resort to You, praying for removal from Hell ... "
(He is praised and holy. He is the Lord of the angels and the Holy Spirit (the angel Jabrail - Gabriel) ... In some narrations it is mentioned that the angel Jabrail (Gabriel) turned to Allah with the question: “O Almighty! Why is the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) so singled out what is considered “halilul-lah”, your friend?”
In response, the Lord sent him to Abraham with the words: “Greet him and say "Subbuuhun kudduusun rabbul-malyaikyati var-ruh".
As you know, the prophet Abraham was very rich. Only the number of dogs guarding his herds numbered in the thousands. But he was rich both materially and spiritually. So, when Jabrail (Gabriel) appeared before Abraham in the guise of a man and, having greeted, uttered these words, Abraham, feeling their Divine sweetness, exclaimed: “Say them again, and half of my wealth is yours!” Angel Gabriel (Gabriel) said them again. Then Abraham again asked to be repeated, saying: “Say them again, and all my wealth is yours!” Gabriel (Gabriel) repeated for the third time, then Abraham said: "Say them again, and I am your slave."
There are things whose magnificence, beauty and value can only be comprehended by specialists. For example, a diamond. Before cutting, it will seem like an ordinary natural resource to someone, and a professional will notice a valuable stone in it and find a way to turn it into a sparkling jewel. And only a connoisseur will be able to determine the degree of its value. Also with the words “Subbuuhun kudduusun rabbul-malayaikyati var-ruh”. Abraham, having felt their beauty and splendor, could not satiate his ears and each time asked to repeat them again.

Dear Imam, when you make up for the missed days of fasting, is it possible to perform the missed Tarawih prayer? E.
Obligatory fasting days must be made up, but Taraweeh does not need to be made up. Tarawih is categorized as optional prayers, not mandatory.
Now, during Ramadan, they read the Tarawih prayer. In the nearest mosque in the city where I live, the parishioners agreed to read one juz of the Koran for the entire prayer. But the imam himself reads juz during Tarawih from the Book - in one hand is the Koran, the other is on his belt. And so is the whole prayer. As far as I understand, the Prophet did not do this, he knew the Koran by heart and could not read. Question: Did the Companions or the righteous, recognized scholars have such a practice? Maybe you should visit another mosque during this prayer?
This is possible (according to some Sunni scholars), but usually they put the Koran on a special stand in order to free their hands and not make unnecessary movements in the prayer prayer. If the duration of the Tarawih prayer in the nearest mosque suits you, then there is no need to go to another one.
According to some scientists, this is possible.

In the mosque of our city, after Tarawih, the imam reads out a hadith about the reward received by a person who came to prayer. And moreover, this applies to every day throughout the month of fasting. Tell me is it true? Have you heard such hadiths? Ramil.

I recently came across an article in a local newspaper detailing the rewards each night for reciting the Tarawih prayer during fasting. For example, on the first day of the month of Ramadan, the Almighty will forgive all his sins to the one who read Tarawih, on the second day, Allah will forgive all the sins of the parents of the one who read Tarawih, and so on until the end of the fast.

Hazrat, why did you read Tarawih prayer in 20 rak'yaats before, and now in 8 rak'yaats? Is it possible so? I listened to one famous hazrat, he says that this is not possible. Please answer, this is very important for me and my friends! Mahmudjon.
In the last two years (2010, 2011) we switched to 8 rak'yaats for the simple reason that the majority of the parishioners of our mosque are working people, not pensioners. Reading 8 rak'yaats, we finish after midnight, and reading 20 rak'yaats, it will turn out even later. In addition, keep in mind that people at 3 a.m. get up on morning reception food, and then at 7 am to go to work.
The most famous from the point of view of the Sunnah are two options - 8 and 20 rak'yats. For the period while the post falls on summer time After coordinating our decision with the mufti, we spend only 8 rak'yaats of Tarawih in our mosque. Those who wish can read up to 20 at home.
In religious practice, I follow the Hanafi madhhab, but I am not a strict adherent of the opinions of only one madhhab, especially when these opinions can seriously complicate the lives of ordinary believers. Religion is given to us in ease, and therefore everything must be reasonably measured.
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(1) "Facilitate and do not complicate, please and do not cause disgust, do not repulse."
(2) “Religion is lightness. And whoever argues with her [showing excessive scrupulousness and excessive severity, for example, wanting to surpass others with a manifestation of "special" piety], will lose.
(3) "Those who show excessive scrupulousness and excessive severity will perish!"
(4) “Beware of excess in matters of faith, religion! Indeed, [many] who were before you perished precisely because of this.”
(5) “Those who are scrupulous and excessively strict will perish [spiritually, mentally, psychologically] will perish.” Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated these words three times.”
The problem is that during Tarawih, due to a misunderstanding of the meaning of what is being read, thoughts go aside. Sometimes you almost fall asleep. At home, when I read namaz, after Arabic I read its translation. Please advise how to deal with the problem. Nadim.

Tahajjud prayer- prayer, which is performed after Isha prayer and before dawn. Night tahajjud prayer, which is performed during the month of Ramadan, is called Taraweeh. This prayer is performed after the Isha prayer but before the Witr prayer. The difference between Tarawih prayer and Tahajjut lies in the number of rak'ahs and the time of performance. They begin to perform Tarawih prayer on the first night of the month of Ramadan, and end on the last night of fasting. This prayer is preferably performed by the jamaat in the mosque if it is not possible to visit the mosque. Usually in mosques during Tarawih prayers, one juz of the Qur'an is read in order to read the Qur'an in full for the month of Ramadan. This is very important because not everyone has the opportunity to read the Quran for themselves this month.
How many rak'ahs of Tarawih prayer should be read?
You can read 8 rak'ahs - this opinion refers to the Shafi'i madhhab, and you can also read 20 rak'ahs - this is the opinion of the scientists of the Hanafi madhhab. Many scholars rely on the opinions of the companions who agreed on ijma, that is, the general agreement in determining 20 rak'ahs for Taraweeh prayers. Hafiz Ibn Abdulbarr said: “The Companions had no disputes on this issue” (“Al-Istizkar”, v.5, p.157). Allama Ibn Kudama reported: “In the era of Saiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), the companions made ijma on this issue” (“Al-Mugni”). Hafiz Abu Zur "ah Al-Iraqi said: "They (Alims) recognized the consent of the companions [when Saiduna Umar did this] as ijma" ("Tarh at-Tasrib", part 3, p. 97). Mulla Ali Kari decided that the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) had an ijma on the issue of performing twenty rak'ahs ("Mirkat al-Mafatih", v.3, p.194).
At the same time, supporters of 8 rak'ahs rely on the words of Aisha. She answered the question: “How did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pray on the night of Ramadan?”, - ‘Aisha replied: “Neither during Ramadan, nor in other months, did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) perform prayers at night for more than eleven rak’ats.” al-Bukhari 1147, Muslim 738. That is, 8 rak'ahs of Tarawih prayer and 3 rak'ahs of Witr prayer.
Rules for performing Tarawih prayer.
As mentioned above, the Tarawih prayer consists of 8 or 20 rak'ahs. Namaz is performed 2 rak'ahs 4 times or 10 times, that is, 2 rak'ahs are read, like 2 rak'ahs of Fajr prayer and this is repeated 4 times or 10 times. The result is 8 and 20 rak'ahs, respectively. You can also read 4 rak'ahs 5 times. There is a short break between every 2 or 4 rakahs. In mosques, it is used for small sermons. And if a person performs prayer at home, then you can do dhikr or read the Koran at this time.

Reward for Taraweeh prayer
The hadith says: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) encouraged people to perform additional night prayers during Ramadan, but did not oblige them in a categorical form, but said: “To the one who stood the nights of the month of Ramadan in prayers with faith and hope for the reward of Allah, they will be forgiven his former sins. (al-Bukhari 37, Muslim 759). Imam al-Baji said : “This hadith contains a great motivation to perform night prayers in Ramadan, and it is necessary to strive for this, since this act contains the expiation of past sins. Know that in order for sins to be forgiven, it is necessary to perform these prayers with faith in the truth of the promise of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and striving to earn the reward of Allah, moving away from window dressing and everything that violates deeds! (“al-Muntaqa” 251).
In another hadith it is said : “Once a man came to the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! Do you know that I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that you are the Messenger of Allah, and that I pray, pay zakat, fast and stand the nights of Ramadan in prayers?!” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever dies on this will be in Paradise among the truthful and martyrs!””
(al-Bazzar, Ibn Khuzayma, Ibn Hibban. Authentic Hadith. See “Sahih at-targhib” 1/419).
Hafiz Ibn Rajab said: “Know that in the month of Ramadan two types of jihad against the soul gather in the believer! Jihad with daytime for the sake of fasting, and jihad with nighttime for the sake of performing night prayers. And the one who combines these two types of jihad in himself will deserve a reward without counting!”
(“Lataiful-ma’arif” 171).
