 Taraweeh are the extra Sunnah prayers
performed every night after Salatul Isha in
the month of Ramadan. It is a recommended Taraweeh
Sunnah . It comes under the heading of qiyaam

all of the mosques. The command to observe "Whoever prayed at

(At- Tirmidhi)

Praying qiyaam in Ramadan means spending

its nights in prayer. It is one of the greatest
acts of worship by means of which a person
can get closer to Allah (swt). In Ramadan the
believer engages in the spiritual struggle
within oneself against sin on two fronts :
during the day by fasting and during the night
by praying qiyaam. Whoever combines these
two types of spiritual struggles will be given

A person who prays Taraaweeh, in twenty

(Surah Rahman :60)
YOUR Goodness in life comes from being good or practicing good

CHARACTER manners not only with one’s self but also with everybody
around them. A persons character defines the person. His
behavior towards his family, friends, neighbors and even
their enemies speaks a lot about them.

replied, "Doing

(Tirmidhi) me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of

He was always concerned about treating the people around

REFLECT
UPON THE
QURAN
“The best of you
are those who Ramadan and Qur’an always go together.
The month of Ramadan is also known as the
learn the Qur’an
month of the QUR’AN.
and teach it“
(Bukhari) “(It is) the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an
was revealed as a guidance for mankind, clear proofs
giving guidance, and the Criterion (for
distinguishing right and wrong). So whoever of you
witnesses this month, let him fast it.”
[Surah al-Baqara:185]

The first verses of “Allah (swt) has His own people among
the holy Quran were mankind.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah
sent to Muhammed (swt), who are they?” He said: “The people of the
(saw) in the cave of Qur’an, the people of Allah (swt) and those who
Hira in Makkah, in are closest to Him'“
the month of (Ibn Majah)
RAMADAN.
“The most beloved deeds to Allah (swt) are those
done regularly, even if they are small.”
[Agreed Upon ]

So you see, it’s very important that you include

recitation of the Quran in your Ramadan schedule

you sight the new
moon (of the month of
Ramadan) observe

sight it (the new moon
of Shawwal) break it,
and if the sky is cloudy
for you, then observe
fast for thirty days.
(Muslim)

changes..

called Waxing. After the moon
