The number of rak `ahs in Tahajjud

Tahajjud prayer does not imply a certain number of rak `ahs that must be performed, nor is there any maximum limit that can be realized. That would be fulfilled even if one prayed a single rak `ah of Witr after 'Isha' Cheapest Umrah Packages UK.

Tarawih

 Tarawih (Arabic: صلاة التراويح) is an optional prayer that can only be done during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. This prayer can be done alone, in a group, at home or in a mosque meeting area or other public. Usually, Muslims gather and perform tarawih as a group, often among family members in a large house. Others can meet at your local mosque, a meeting room, or even in an outdoor field. Depending on the country, the tarawih prayers that could be made in the mosque of men only, or by a mixture of men and women (although physically separated from each other). The total number of raka'ah varies, but with a minimum of eight. This is in accordance with the example of Muhammad who initially performed eight raka'ah in the mosque with his followers, but after three days, he decided to stay at home and perform the prayers with his family. He said he was afraid that if he continued to perform the prayers in the mosque, and then his followers might come to think they were mandatory and not optional.

After the death of Muhammad, the number of raka'ah was increased to twenty instead of eight by the second caliph, Umar. Muslims now choose for themselves how many raka'ah to carry out. In the main mosque of Mecca, the Imam (leader of the prayer) performs twenty raka'ah followed by three other raka'ah known as the Witr prayer. The total number of people who join tarawih prayers in the main mosque of Mecca can reach 3-4 million. That all the levels are filled inside the mosque, the roof, in the courtyard, some nearby streets (that close), and sometimes even with a space in the halls of some hotels in the vicinity.
