Tarawih

Tarawih, also known as Taraweeh, are special Sunnah prayers involving reading long portions of the Quran, as well as performing many rakahs (cycles of movement involved in Islamic prayer). Name variations Indonesian, Malay: salat tarawih, solat tarawih Kurdish: نوێژی تەڕاویح, romanized: nwéjī tarâwīḥ romanized Taroveh Tamil : தராவிஹ் Overview Tarawih prayers begin from the first Moon-sighted evening (start of Ramadan) to second Moon-sighted evening (last day of Ramadan). This prayer is performed in congregation during Ramadan of the Islamic calendar, after Isha (and before Witr, which is also prayed following the imam who leads the prayer aloud in one or three rakats unlike how it is done in other eleven months).
