MCQ Detailed View

Nemaz e Taraweeh is a special prayer offered during the nights of Ramadan. It is performed after Isha prayer and consists of multiple rakats, traditionally 20, though some schools of thought allow 8 rakats. The prayer is a form of Qiyam-ul-Lail (night worship) and holds immense spiritual value.

In Islamic jurisprudence, Nemaz e Taraweeh is classified as Sunnat Muakkadah, meaning a highly emphasized Sunnah. It was practiced regularly by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), and later institutionalized during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (R.A.), who organized it in congregation behind one Imam.

Although it is not Farz (obligatory) or Wajib (compulsory), skipping it without valid reason is discouraged, especially given its strong emphasis and communal importance during Ramadan. It is a means of spiritual purification, reflection, and connection with the Qur’an, as the entire Qur’an is often recited during Taraweeh over the course of the month.
