Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Night Prayer
Do the Angels Look Down from Heaven upon Those Who Pray Tahajjud?
There is no evidence to support the view that the Angels look down from heaven upon those who pray tahajjud at night as the people of earth look at the stars of the sky. What we have in the texts of the Quran and Sunnah concerning the virtue of Qiyam Al-Layl is sufficient, and we have no need for this report.48,761Ruling on only reciting Soorat al-Ikhlaas in tahajjud prayers, and repeating it a specific number of times in each rak‘ah
134,962The imam asks others to lead the people in Taraweeh, then he leads them in praying Witr, then they lead more prayers
17,875The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not do more than eleven rak‘ahs (of night prayer) during Ramadan or at any other time
61,331Can You Pray Taraweeh Twice in One Night?
If you pray Tarawih in one mosque, then you find another mosque where prayers are still going on, and you go and pray with the people, there is nothing wrong with you doing that, but you should not pray Witr twice.51,015How Should Women Pray Tarawih at Home?
A woman may pray Tarawih at home according to whatever she is able to do, paying attention to the Sunnah as much as possible. For more, please see the detailed answer.315,864For one who cannot read Qur’an well, praying Taraweeh in the mosque is better in her case, if she goes out fulfilling all the shar‘i conditions
16,916They pray Taraweeh before the time for ‘Isha’ begins, because the time of ‘Isha’ is so late in their country
14,936Is The Night of Al-Isra’ Superior to Laylat Al-Qadr?
• Laylat Al-Qadr is a great night. Allah has made it superior to other nights, and He has told us that good deeds during this night are better than good deeds during more than one thousand months. • The night of the Isra’ is superior for the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and Laylat Al-Qadr is superior for the ummah. • The Prophet’s gains on the night of the Mi`raj (ascent into heaven) were greater than his gains on Laylat Al-Qadr, and the ummah’s gains on Laylat Al-Qadr are greater than their gains on the night of the Mi`raj.25,284The virtues of Qiyaam (prayer at night) during Ramadan
