=]

Answer 1

taraweeh is an innovation,

Answer 2

When we gather for Laylat-Ul-Qadr, we usually do the 20 necessary rakats for Taraweeh prayers, and then Salatul-Layl, ending with 3 Witr prayers.

-Tahajjud wouldn't be exempt, because it can only be prayed after a sleeping period. So, you would still have to be up before Fajr to get the Tahajjud prayers in.

Answer 3

Traweeh is replace Qiyam allial the witer after taraweh .

Answer 4

There is no such thing as taraweeh in islam....quit it!  

Answer 5

Pray for the lord

Answer 6

Initially Prophet Muhammad salla lahu alaihi wa sallam Prayed In The Mosque

Praying at Night in Ramadaan (Taraweeh)  Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 32 :: Hadith 229Narrated 'Urwa:

That he was informed by 'Aisha, "Allah's Apostle went out in the middle of the night and prayed in the mosque and some men prayed behind him. In the morning, the people spoke about it and then a large number of them gathered and prayed behind him (on the second night). In the next morning the people again talked about it and on the third night the mosque was full with a large number of people. Allah's Apostle came out and the people prayed behind him. On the fourth night the Mosque was overwhelmed with people and could not accommodate them, but the Prophet came out (only) for the morning prayer. When the morning prayer was finished he recited Tashah-hud and (addressing the people) said, "Amma ba'du, your presence was not hidden from me but I was afraid lest the night prayer (Qiyam) should be enjoined on you and you might not be able to carry it on." So, Allah's Apostle died and the situation remained like that (i.e. people prayed individually). "



it is clear that there is no fixed limit for the Tarawih Prayer; therefore, one should refrain from getting into any controversy in this regard. However, in mosques, where eight congregational Rakats are offered, it is advisable not to offer further 12 Rakats in congregation, thus avoiding any unwanted disputes amongst the Muslims. For those who wish to offer more Rakats can very well do so at their homes. Similarly, in mosques, where 20 congregational Rakats are offered, it is advisable not to offer 8 Rakats in different congregation so that there is no conflict among the Muslims.

Tahajjud Is 8 Rakat

Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)  Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 21 :: Hadith 248 Narrated Abu Salma bin 'Abdur Rahman:

I asked 'Aisha, "How is the prayer of Allah's Apostle during the month of Ramadan." She said, "Allah's Apostle never exceeded eleven Rakat in Ramadan or in other months; he used to offer four Rakat-- do not ask me about their beauty and length, then four Rakat, do not ask me about their beauty and length, and then three Rakat." Aisha further said, "I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Do you sleep before offering the Witr prayer?' He replied, 'O 'Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart remains awake'!"



Praying at Night in Ramadaan (Taraweeh)  Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 32 :: Hadith 230 Narrated Abu Salama bin 'Abdur Rahman:

that he asked 'Aisha "How was the prayer of Allah's Apostle in Ramadan?" She replied, "He did not pray more than eleven Rakat in Ramadan or in any other month. He used to pray four Rakat ---- let alone their beauty and length----and then he would pray four ----let alone their beauty and length ----and then he would pray three Rakat (Wiitr)." She added, "I asked, 'O Allah's Apostle! Do you sleep before praying the Witr?' He replied, 'O 'Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep."

*Note:The Hadith says “He did not pray more than eleven Rakat in Ramadan or in any other month” so this is not Taraweeh because Taraweeh is only prayed in Ramadhan ,its Tahajjud.



Narrated Nafi

Ibn 'Umar said, "While the prophet was on the pulpit, a man asked him how to offer the night prayers. He replied, ' Pray two Rakat at a time and then two and then two and so on, and if you are afraid of the dawn (the approach of the time of the Fajr prayer) pray one Rakat and that will be the witr for all the Rakat which you have offered."  Ibn 'Umar Said, "The last Rakat of the night prayer should be odd, for the prophet ordered it to be so. ( Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Hadith No. 461).



Narrated Amr ibn Anbasah as-Sulami

I asked: "Apostle of Allah, in which part of the night the supplication is more likely to be accepted? He Replied: In the last part: Pray as much as you like, for the prayer is attended by the angels and it is recorded till you offer the dawn prayer. (Abu Dawood, Vol. 1, Hadith No. 1272).



Tahajjud  Malik :: Book 7 : Hadith 7.3.13

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi and Abdullah ibn Umar that a man asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about night prayers. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Night prayers are two by two, and when you are afraid that dawn is approaching, pray one raka to make what you have prayed odd."

*Note: Tahajjud can be prayed 2 Rakat, with further 2,2,2 or with 4 Rakat and further 4.



Allah knows best

Answer 7

In Mosque after tarweeh male offered 2 sunnat and witr.

for females I don't know. :(

Answer 8

Salam for you. No taraweeh salat do not replace tahajjud salat because both are different.Taraweeh sunnah salat is done after isya mandory salat without witr, for 11 or 23 raka'ats including the last 3 raka'ats with 1 salam for witr.Taraweeh salat replace the salatul layl especially during ramadan only.Tahajjud salat is usually done in every night at the 2/3 of night just 2 hours or 1 hour before shubuh time If we have a taraweeh with witr ,in thajjud salat we do not need witr again because in one night there is only one witr.

Shafa salat is also the sunnah salat and you can do it after or before taraweeh salat  but it should be made without witr.
