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
I never went.
I know that the whole Qur'an is recited. How long would it take them?
I went to my(European) mosque once and I wont go again due to bidat. The imam was extremely fast and I like to take my time. I think that he has to go fast because of the hadeeth.
If you know Arabic, for God's sake enjoy the suras.
The thing that I don't understand, If we have to pause after each aja of the srah Al-Fatiha,than why are we so fast during Salat.

For my mosque, Imam is speaking all English, not only Arabic. It is good listening Imam's speech during Taraweeh. I enjoyed it.

Sister, I have to say I agree with you. Some of the imams recite so fast its like they're not even taking from what they're reciting or even trying to understand, like they just want to finish.
I'd rather the imam takes longer but recites slowly so we can at least try to understand the meaning n such.
But some of the imams recite so beautifully you would never want them to stop, only Allah swt knows best.
I don't really mind, here we have three Imams, one is pretty fast and the other is kinda slow and the last is really slow and they take turns leading alhamdulillah
Learn silence as you have learned speech.
Speech will guide you, and silence will protect you.
In all honesty, I'm okay with moderation or fast. But there's one Imam here who recites too slow, really. No kidding, people groan or let out an "oof" when he starts. I find that rude, but I can't blame them either.
I'd prefer a rather fast taraweeh to be honest. :X Though I'm noticing mashallah there's a lot of pious people on this forum who enjoy the long taraweeh! Masha'Allah! May Allah increase their piety, and the piety of us all. Ameen.

As long as the imam recites beautifully, i am okay with the slowest of the taraweeh.
Ah, me too personally! I can take it all really, but there are many cases in which I just don't like the way the one reciting speaks, be it the voice or way of making pauses or saying the words.
Moderate is the way to go, I think.

I think short is the best because we have children ,those of old age and mothers who started their day standing infront of the stove until sunset cooking so it would be best to keep it at a reasonable pace
short segments of a surah can be absorbed better by the masses in terms of contemplation
but we have to look at how many rakats and at what speed exactly the prophet prayed and that will give us the answer
I prefer the more balanced one , Not too fast and not too slow.
And as for the onewho fears standing in front of His Lord and restrainsthe soul from impure evil desires and lusts, verily, Paradise will be his abode [79:40-41]
Someone said that video was fast forwarded. Either way, I cracked up big time while watching it. I shot an email to my teachers with the link saying "Assalamu Alaykum. Last night I had emailed you guts saying I read a little fast. Here's an example."
but really... Those brothers get some really good exercise...
4. Or a little more; and recite the Qur'ân (aloud) in a slow, (pleasant tone and) style (Surah Muzzammil:4)
I can't understand how some masaajid read and the speed they do. There is no khushoo' at all. One cannot contemplate on the speech of Allah sub7anahu wa ta'3la. It's as if its a race to see how face you can finish taraweeh. May Allah save us from this.
As for Salaat'ul Taraweeh, it is not obligatory but I definitely enjoy praying it in the masjid during Ramadan. The masaajid I go to read about 1-2 pages of the mushaf per rakah which is cool. And I love du3a qunoot in jamma3ah.
Salaam I have to say i feel infuriated when people complain Taraweeh is 'too long' I mean these are the words of Allah SWT being read and people are saying its "too long"?
I mean come off it please! The longer the better! I want to listen to our creator, Allah SWT's words and i dont care if it takes an hour or an hour and a half! Sorry, Had to get that off me chest
