**New Delhi, [Date of Publication]** – Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims, is expected to begin on February 28th or March 1st, 2025, depending on the sighting of the new moon. The month-long observance involves fasting, prayer, and reflection. A key aspect of Ramadan is the Taraweeh prayer, performed nightly after the Isha prayer.
This article details the significance and practice of Taraweeh. Taraweeh, meaning “rest” or “relaxation” in Arabic, consists of 20 rakats (units) of prayer, with a Salam (greeting) after every two rakats. Men traditionally recite longer portions of the Quran during Taraweeh, while women may opt for shorter recitations. Specific duas (supplications) are recited during the prayer, believed to increase spiritual merit. One such dua is: “Subhana zil mulki wal malakut…ya mujiro ya mujiro ya mujeer.”
The article emphasizes the importance of performing Taraweeh throughout Ramadan for maximum spiritual benefit. It provides guidance on the correct intention (niyat) for the prayer and clarifies the differences in practice for men and women, particularly regarding Quran recitation. For those praying at home, reciting ten surahs (chapters) from the 30th juz (section) of the Quran is suggested for each two rakats.
The article highlights the spiritual benefits of Taraweeh, emphasizing the opportunity for Quran recitation and its calming effect, as well as the physical benefits of moderate exercise after Iftar (the breaking of the fast).
The article concludes by encouraging readers to share the information and reminds them to consult with a doctor before attempting any religious practice or home remedy.
