Blessing Of Tarawih: Tarawih According to the Sunnah

13.  If the one who has forgot to sit for Qa'dah after two Rak'āt has not yet performed the Sajdah of the third Rak'at, he is to sit and complete his Ṣalāh with a Sajdah Sahw. In case of performing the Sajdah of the third Rak'at, he is to complete the fourth Rak'at as well, but these four Rak'āt will be counted as two. However, if he had performed Qa'dah after two Rak'āt they will be regarded as four Rak'āt. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 118, vol. 1)

14.  If somebody did not sit after the second Rak'at and performed Salām (finished the Ṣalāh) after the third Rak'at, then these Rak'āt will not be valid; he will have to offer a new set of two Rak'āt again. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 118, vol. 1)

15.  After performing Salām, if there's a divergence of opinion over the number of Rak'āt (e.g. some say two Rak'āt were offered while some other opine three), so what Imām asserts on the basis of his memory will be accepted in this case. If the Imām is himself uncertain then he is to accept the opinion of the one he considers reliable. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 117, vol. 1)

16.  If people are in doubt whether twenty Rak'āt were offered or eighteen they should all offer two Rak'āt individually. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 117, vol. 1)

17.  The recitation of the equal amount of the Quran during each set of two Rak'āt is preferable. If it is not done, there is still no harm. Likewise, the amount of the second Rak'āt's recitation should be equal to that of the first Rak'āt. The recitation of the second Rak'āt should not exceed that of the first one. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 117, vol. 1)

18.  Both the Imām and the Muqtadīs should recite the Ṣanā at the beginning of every first Rak'āt (the Imām should recite Ta'awwuẕ and Tasmiyyaḥ as well). Both should also recite Durūd-e-Ibrāhīm and Du'ā after Tashahhud in Qa'dah. (Durr-e-Mukhtār, pp. 498, vol. 2)

19.  If the Muqtadīs of Tarāwīḥ-Jamā'at feel discomfort, the Imām should only recite اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِہٖ after Tashahhud (and perform Salām). (Durr-e-Mukhtār, pp. 499, vol. 2)

20.  Keep offering Tarāwīḥ up to the last night of Ramadan until the entire Holy Quran completes on the 27th night or earlier because it is Sunnat-ul-Muakkadah. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 118, vol. 1)

21.  After every set of four Rak'āt it is Mustaḥab to sit for rest for the amount of time in which four Rak'āt were offered. This pause is called a Tarwīḥaḥ. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 115, vol. 1)

  1. During the Tarwīḥaḥ, it is allowed whether to remain silent, recite Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī, do Ẕikr or offer Nafl Ṣalāh individually. (Durr-e-Mukhtār, pp. 497, vol. 2) The following Tasbīḥ can also be recited:

سُبْحَانَ ذِی الْمُلْکِ وَالْمَلَکُوْتِ ۩ سُبْحَانَ ذِی الْعِزَّۃِ وَالْعَظَمَۃِ وَالْهَیْبَۃِ وَالْقُدْرَۃِ ۩ وَالْکِبْرِیَاء وَالْجَبَرُوْتِ ۩ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِکِ الْحَیِّ الَّذِیْ لَا یَنَامُ وَلَا یَمُوْتُ ۩ سُبُّوْحٌ قُدُّوْسٌ رَّبُّنَا وَرَبُّ الْمَلٰٓئِکَۃِ وَالرُّوْحِ ۩ اَللّٰهُمَّ اَجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّار ۩ یَا مُجِیْرُ یَا مُجِیْرُ یَا مُجِیْرُ بِرَحْمَتِکَ یَا اَرْحَمَ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ ۩

  1. After offering twenty Rak'āt, the fifth Tarwīḥaḥ is also Mustaḥab, but if it causes discomfort to people then don't recite it for the fifth time. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 115, vol. 1)
  2. Some people keep sitting during the initial part of the first Rak'at and to join the Jamā'at when the Imām has stood to perform Rukū', it is a trait of the hypocrites. The 142nd verse of Sūrah Nisā says:

وَاِذَا قَامُوْۤا اِلَی الصَّلٰوۃِ قَامُوْا کُسَالٰی

And when they stand up for Ṣalāh they stand up lazily.

[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]

One should also join the Jamā'at at Farḍ Ṣalāh immediately even if the Imām has stood after completing the Rukū'. Further, if the Imām is in the first sitting (Qa'dah), join in without waiting for him to stand. If you joined in during the sitting but the Imām (has finished his Tashahhud and) stood up, recite the whole Tashahhud before standing. (Bahār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 36, part 4 – Ghunya-tul-Mustamlī, pp. 410)

  1. It is preferable to offer the Witr Ṣalāh with Jamā'at in Ramadan. However, if someone offered the Farḍ of 'Ishā without Jamā'at he is to offer his Witr individually as well. (Bahār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 36, part 4)
  2. There is no harm in offering the Farḍ of 'Ishā with one Imām, the Tarāwīḥ Ṣalāh with another Imām and the Witr with a third Imām.
  3. Sayyidunā 'Umar Fārūq A'ẓam رَضِیَ اللہُ عَنْہُ used to lead the Jamā'at of Farḍ and Witr of 'Isha while Sayyidunā Ubay Bin Ka'b رَضِیَ اللہُ عَنْہُ used to lead the Tarāwīḥ Jamā'at. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, pp. 116, vol. 1)

O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Make us pious and sincere and bless us with the privilege of offering Tarāwīḥ with sincerity and concentration every year with a full-fledged Ḥāfiẓ, and accept our Ṣalāhs!

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Recovery from cancer

اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasūl صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم have greatly blessed Dawat-e-Islami. Many patients suffering from such deadly diseases declared incurable by doctors have found the cure for their lethal diseases in the Madanī Qāfilahs. Here is an account given by an Islamic brother of Maripur (Bāb-ul-Madīnaḥ, Karachi) 'An Islamic brother living at Hawk's bay (Bāb-ul-Madīnaḥ, Karachi) had cancer. He travelled with a Madanī Qāfilah of Dawat-e-Islami, a global & non-political religious movement of the Quran and Sunnah, in the company of Rasūl's devotees.

During the journey, he looked quite sad and disappointed. The participants of the Madanī Qāfilah consoled him and made supplications for him. One morning, while he was sitting, all of a sudden, he vomited a piece of flesh, after which he felt greatly relieved.

Having returned from the Madanī Qāfilah he went to see a doctor and had his tests done again. He was astonished to see results which indicated that he no longer had cancer. اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ He regained his health by the blessings of travelling with a Madanī Qāfilah.

Ulcer-o-cancer yā ḥo dard-e-kamar
Daygā Maulā shifā, Qāfilay mayn chalo
Dūr bīmāriyān, aur parayshāniyān
Ḥaun bafaḍl-e-Khudā, Qāfilay mayn chalo

Even ulcer and cancer or backache severe
Will be cured by Almighty, travel with Madanī Qāfilah
Illnesses and adversities will be removed
By divine bounty, travel with Madanī Qāfilah

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Praise and privilege

Sayyidunā Imām 'Abdullāh Bin 'Umar Baydāwī عَلَيْہِ رَحْمَۃُ اللّٰہِ الْقَوِی has stated, 'The one who obeys Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is praised in the world and will be privileged in the Hereafter.'

(Tafsīr Al-Baydāwī, vol. 4, part 22, Al-Aḥzāb, pp. 388, Taḥt-al-Āyah 71)
