An Attempt to Reconcile Quranic Verses and Prophetic Hadith Regarding Tarawih Prayer

In this booklet we have established, the evidences utilized for 20 raka’hs are weak and there is not a SINGLE Saheeh hadeeth or athar that mentions the Messenger of Allah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam) prayed or commanded 20 raka’hs Taraaweeh. This booklet also contains the evidences for praying 8 raka’hs and establishes this to be the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (Sallalahu Alayhee Was-Sallam), the Practice of the Companions and those upon their way, All in light of the statements and understanding of the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah From amongst the Imaams of the Salaf, the Scholars of hadeeth of the past and present and the Jurists Up Until 1424H.

Muslims have annually two days where all people from every city meet each together, men, women, or children, and turn to Allah with their hearts in unity, praying behind one Imam, making takbeer, tahleel and supplicating to Allah sincerely together as if they were united upon the heart of one man while being happy and joyous about the blessing Allah has bestowed on them.

A valuable message about Tarawih prayer and night prayer in Ramadan.
