    Long or Short Taraweeh? (OP)


    What do you like... Please do comment as well!

    Actually, the reason I made this topic is because I realized my taraweeh is not exactly slow. It's on the faster side... I just can't read slow at the end of the day.

    My teacher said I should read slowly. He said you'll get more Musallis if you recite fast, but for my own self, slower the better. lol... My teachers used to call me Bullet, because I read so fast. :X

    PS. I noticed Sa'ad Al Ghamdi was reciting Taraweeh in Madinah a few days ago! I was shocked but overjoyed at the same time when i heard his voice as its very rare you get to hear someone like Al Ghamdi reciting Taraweeh in Madinah! If you are in the UK, go to channel 841 (Peace TV Urdu) at around sehri time and it might be on again. He reads 10 Raka'at and Al Budair (if that's correctly pronounced) takes over. Recitation was just stunning!

    Re: Long or Short Taraweeh?


    I personally would like to have a moderate taraweeh. I have to be honest,but I feel extremely exhausted by the time it ends. Everyone has their Patience tested one day or another. Though the recitation should be soothing enough to relax me after an exhausted day. The meaning of the recitation matters for me than the speed.

    There is a hadeeth that speeks about a similar situation. I think that the prophet,saws, encouraged us to keep Salat moderate,im not sure since I don't have the hadeeth present.

    Re: Long or Short Taraweeh?

    the Quran should be read slowly with tarteel, i hate it when they read fast, you can undertsand what they are saying and its mockry of the Quran

    so i prefer slow recitation. Green Lane Masjid is tops!

    the messenger of Allah said "Whoever compleates the prayer behind the imam it will be recorded for him as though he prayed the whole night"

    SubhanAllah...that is fast

    I feel this is a modified video, how can everybody be fast in such unison. I see one person bowing down even before the imam....

    I initially thought it was modified too. So many people, are you telling me NONE of them complained at the speed? :X Though, I don't know... But if it really is that fast, i guess you are sort of required to go down before the Imaam...

    Re: Long or Short Taraweeh?



    I prefer the qiyam to be lengthy..and the recitation to be something like this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPGywOrdbiQ

    But I don't mind the kind of speed in the first video posted by Br. Far7an. As long as it isn't super fast and the recitation is understandable..Alhamdullilah its good.

    Re: Long or Short Taraweeh?

    You Should add an option "Depends on Time" because sometimes I am right not in the mood to perform a long Taraweeh.And sometimes when the faith has rose to its top, I can perform Long Taraweeh.
    Taraweeh is not obligatory.Our Beloved Prophet(S.A.W) also leaved it sometimes.You can although do some other worship at the times of Taraweeh when you are not performing it.

    Re: Long or Short Taraweeh?

    i love and do prefer long taraweeh but when i like the imam's voice
    honestly yani once i went to pray taraweeh the imam asked from another person to replace him .. and he has how do i say annoying voice ,, and he is not slow , he was too slow!!!
    when i finishd salah i was able to destroy walls *kidding*^^ but i was waiting to the last minute, to the end of the salah so hard, and i couldn't focus too!!

    I prefer the middle one..Islam is easy why make it difficult? Imagine if these super lengthy taraweehs put some people off taraweeh? Giving them more excuse not to attend it.

    I go to mosque where it is near my home in evenings actually i do not understand what Iman says according to my deafness but i read Qur'Ran instead so i would say slow so i have more time to read Qur'Ran LOL , Taraweeh is important in Ramadhan, apparently. Prayer during nights shall be forgive? Correct my error, Ameen
