15 Dua Of Taraweeh in Arabic Text , Transliteration, and Meaning In English

Salaat-ut-Taraaweeh (the Taraaweeh prayers) is a special form of prayer performed at night in the month of Ramadan, in sets of two rak’ahs each, after the lshaa prayer and before the witr prayer. Is there any Dua Of Taraweeh?

The Taraaweeh prayer is a Sunnah of the Prophet, both for men and women.

Allah’s Messenger offered this prayer in the mosque during one night of Ramadan and some people joined him.

The next day he did the same and more people prayed behind him. The same thing happened during the third night.

The believers expected the Prophet to lead them in this prayer again on the fourth night, but he did not show up until Fajr prayer.

To explain why he did so, he told them later, “I was afraid it would have become obligatory on you, and you may not be able to carry on with it.” (AI-Bukhaaree)

Taraweeh prayer was eventually established as a regular congregational practice throughout the month of Ramadan during the Caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab.

In fact, Umar RA was the first to gather people behind one imam to perform this prayer. The Prophet said, Whoever stands in prayer during the nights of Ramadan with a firm belief and hooping for reward [from Allah], all his past sins will be forgiven. (AI-Bukhaaree and Muslim)

It is considered preferable to perform the Taraaweeh prayers in congregation Uamaa’ah). The Qur’an should be recited in a clearly audible voice in this prayer.

This is how Allah’s Messenger performed this prayer during these nights in the month of Ramadan. The recitation of the complete text of the Qur’an in Taraaweeh is recommended in the course of the month of Ramadan.

This will enable people to listen to the whole of the Qur’an and become aware of all of the commandments, prohibitions, teachings and warnings contained in it.

It is considered appropriate to postpone the night prayer called witr until after the Taraaweeh has been completed. The witr prayer is performed in congregation after the Taraaweeh.

Is There A Special Dua for Taraweeh?

No, There is no special taraweeh Dua from the Sunnah. No Hadith book mentions any recommended Dua during Taraweeh Prayer, including the Dua commonly read by Muslims in several Mosques.

A thorough search of the Hadith, Tafseer, and Fiqh books did not reveal a single mention of these Dua anywhere as Taraweeh Dua.

You should be aware of the fact that there is no Sunnah or recommended Dua for Taraweeh, you can simply engage yourself in any Tasbih, Durood, Dhikr of Allah, or you can simply remain silent during the Taraweeh break.

But it’s Sunnah to pray Qunoot Dua after witr prayer in the month of Ramadan and outside the month.

Almost all imams recite Dua for qunoot and add different Dua for the Muslim ummah and will look at some of them with their meanings.

If you wish to recite the Taraweeh Dua, then it is permissible as long as one accepts that it is simply permissible (Mubah) and not Sunnah or Mustahib (recommended).

Following Dua are commonly known as the Taraweeh Dua in qunoot:
