🌟 Taraweeh Kya Hai?
Taraweeh (تراويح) Arabic lafz hai jo "Tarweeha" (ترويحة) ki jama hai. Tarweeha ka matlab hai "aaraam karna". Is namaz ko Taraweeh is liye kaha jata hai kyunke Sahaba-e-Kiram (RA) har 4 rakat ke baad thoda aaraam karte the.
Taraweeh asal mein Qiyam ul Layl hi hai jo Ramadan mein jamaat ke saath mashhoor hui. Ye raat ki nafl ibadat hai jo Ramadan ki raaton ko zinda karne ka azeem zariya hai.
📌 Imam al-Bukhari (RA) ne apni Sahih mein ek bab qaem kiya hai:
بَابُ فَضْلِ مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ
— “Ramzan mein qayam karne wale ki fazilat.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 37)
🕋 Nabi-e-Kareem ﷺ Ki Sunnat
Sabse pehle hum dekhte hain ke Nabi ﷺ ne raat ki namaz (Qiyam ul Layl / Tahajjud) kitni rakat ada farmayi. Taraweeh asal mein raat ki nafl namaz hi hai jo Ramadan mein aksar jamaat ke saath padhi jati hai.
📜 Hadith: Hazrat Aisha (RA) Ki Riwayat (11 Rakat)
Arabic Text:
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَزِيدُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلَا فِي غَيْرِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً
Tarjuma: “Rasulullah ﷺ Ramzan mein aur Ramzan ke ilawa 11 rakat se zyada nahi padhte the.”
📌 Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 1147, Sahih Muslim 738
In 11 rakat mein 8 rakat qiyam aur 3 rakat witr shamil hoti hain. Is riwayat se 8 rakat Taraweeh ka daleel liya jata hai.
📜 Hadith: Hazrat Ibn Abbas (RA) Ki Riwayat (13 Rakat)
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (RA) se riwayat hai ke Nabi ﷺ ki raat ki namaz 13 rakat thi.
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 1138, Sahih Muslim 764
Muhaddiseen ne wazahat ki hai ke is mein kabhi 8 + 3 witr ke saath kuch aur nafl ya fajr ki sunnat shamil ho sakti hain.
📜 Hadith: Salat ul Layl 2-2 Rakat
Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَىٰ مَثْنَىٰ
“Raat ki namaz 2-2 rakat hai.”
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 990, Sahih Muslim 749
🔎 Khulasa: Nabi ﷺ se 8 rakat (3 witr ke saath 11) sabit hain, aur kuch riwayat mein 13 ka zikr bhi milta hai. Nabi ﷺ se 20 rakat ki koi sahih marfu riwayat maujood nahi, lekin Sahaba (RA) ka amal 20 rakat par sabit hai. Is liye dono tareeqe Ahl-e-Ilm ke nazdeek jaiz hain.
📌 Ek Namaz – Mukhtalif Naam
Raat ki nafl namaz ka asal naam Qiyam al-Layl hai. Waqt aur tareeqe ke hisaab se iske mukhtalif naam mashhoor ho gaye:
- Ramadan mein Isha ke baad jamaat se: Taraweeh
- Raat ke beech ya aakhri hissa mein: Qiyam al-Layl
- Sone ke baad uth kar padhi jaye ya akhri hisse me: Tahajjud
Ye teen alag namaz nahi, balke ek hi raat ki nafl ibadat ke mukhtalif istilahi naam hain.
👥 Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) Aur 20 Rakat Ka Tareekhi Pas-e-Manzar
Nabi ﷺ ne Ramzan mein chand raaton tak Taraweeh jamaat ke saath ada farmayi, phir usay tark kar diya.
📜 Hadith: Jamaat Tark Karne Ki Wajah
إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ تُفْرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ
“Mujhe andesha hua ke kahin ye tum par farz na kar di jaye.”
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 1129, Sahih Muslim 761
⚡ Umar (RA) Ne Logon Ko Ek Imam Ke Peechhe Jama Kiya
Hazrat Umar (RA) ne apne daur-e-khilafat mein dekha ke log mukhtalif tor par Taraweeh ada kar rahe hain. Aap ne unhe ek imam ke peeche jama kar diya aur Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (RA) ko imam muqarrar kiya.
نِعْمَ الْبِدْعَةُ هَذِهِ
“Yeh kitni achhi tadbeer hai.”
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 2010
Yahan “bid‘ah” se murad nayi ibadat ijad karna nahi tha, balke maujood ibadat ko ek nizam ke tahat jama karna tha. Asal namaz Nabi ﷺ ke daur se sabit thi.
📜 20 Rakat Ki Riwayat
Imam Malik ne al-Muwatta (Kitab Qiyam Ramadan) mein riwayat naql ki hai ke Umar (RA) ke daur mein log 20 rakat padhte the.
Yeh riwayat Sunan al-Kubra lil-Bayhaqi (2/496) mein bhi maujood hai.
Jumhur fuqaha — jin mein Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafi‘i aur Imam Ahmad shamil hain — ne 20 rakat ke amal ko ikhtiyar kiya. Imam Malik se Madinah ke amal ke mutabiq 36 rakat bhi manqool hai.
Khulasa: Nabi ﷺ se 8 rakat ka amal sabit hai, jabke Umar (RA) ke daur mein 20 rakat ka nizam mashhoor hua. Dono tareeqe Ahl al-Sunnah ke nazdeek jaiz hain, aur is masle mein beja bahas se bachna chahiye.
📌 Khulafa-e-Rashideen Ka Amal Kyun Qabil-e-Itteba Mana Jata Hai?
عَلَيْكُمْ بِسُنَّتِي وَسُنَّةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ
“Tum par meri sunnat aur mere hidayat yafta khulafa ki sunnat laazim hai.”
Reference: Sunan Abu Dawud 4607 – Hasan Sahih
Is hadith ki roshni mein Khulafa-e-Rashideen ka muqarrar kiya hua nizam fiqhi masail mein qabil-e-itibar mana jata hai.
✨ Qiyam ul Layl (Taraweeh) Ki Fazilat
📖 Quran Mein:
"تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا"
Tarjuma: "Unke pehlu bistar se alag rehte hain, apne Rab ko khauf aur ummeed ke saath pukarte hain." (Surah Sajdah: 16)
📜 HADITH 1: Pichle Gunah Maaf
Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
"مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ"
"Jis shakhs ne Ramzan mein imaan ke saath aur sawab ki niyat se qayam kiya, uske pichle saare gunah maaf kar diye jaate hain."
Reference: Sahih Bukhari: 37, Sahih Muslim: 759
📜 HADITH 2: Qadar Ki Raat Ki Talab
Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
"تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ"
"Shab-e-Qadr ko Ramzan ki aakhri 10 raaton mein talash karo."
Reference: Sahih Bukhari: 2020, Sahih Muslim: 1165
Taraweeh ke zariye hum in raaton mein qayam karte hain aur Qadar ki raat ki barkaton se malamaal hote hain.
🕌 Taraweeh Padhne Ka Tariqa
1. Niyat
Dil mein niyat karein ke main 2 rakat Taraweeh Allah ke liye ada kar raha hoon. Niyat zubaan se kehna zaroori nahi, dil ka irada kaafi hai.
2. 2-2 Rakat
Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
"صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَىٰ مَثْنَىٰ" — Raat ki namaz 2-2 rakat hai.
Reference: Sahih Bukhari 990, Sahih Muslim 749
Har 2 rakat ke baad salam pher kar agla rak‘at shuru kiya jata hai.
3. Aaraam Karna (Tarweeha)
Har 4 rakat ke baad thoda aaraam karna mustahab hai. Isi wajah se is namaz ko “Taraweeh” kaha jata hai. Is waqfay mein tasbeeh, dua ya khamoshi ikhtiyar ki ja sakti hai.
4. Qiraat Ki Lambai
Sunnat ye hai ke qiraat sukoon aur tadabbur ke saath ho. Sirf jaldi jaldi Quran khatam karna maqsad nahi, balke khushu‘ aur samajh ke saath tilawat karna afzal hai.
5. Witr Padhna
Taraweeh ke baad Witr padhna masnoon hai aur raat ki namaz ko Witr par khatam karna chahiye. Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
"اجْعَلُوا آخِرَ صَلَاتِكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وِتْرًا" — "Apni raat ki namaz ko Witr par khatam karo."
Reference: Sahih Bukhari 998, Sahih Muslim 751
🏠 Ghar Mein Padhna Afzal Hai Ya Masjid Mein?
🕌 Masjid Mein (Jamaat)
- Fazilat: Imam ke saath namaz mukammal karne par puri raat ke qayam ka sawab.
-
Hadith:
إِنَّهُ مَنْ قَامَ مَعَ الإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ كُتِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ
"Jo shakhs imam ke saath qayam kare jab tak imam namaz khatam na kare, uske liye puri raat ka qayam likh diya jata hai."
(Sunan Abu Dawud 1375, Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 806 – Sahih)
🏠 Ghar Mein (Akele)
- Fazilat: Ikhlas aur riya se bachne ka zyada imkaan.
-
Hadith:
"Farz ke alawa behtareen namaz insaan ki woh hai jo woh apne ghar mein ada kare."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 731, Sahih Muslim 781)
👩 Auraton Ke Liye Kya Hukm Hai?
لَا تَمْنَعُوا نِسَاءَكُمُ الْمَسَاجِدَ وَبُيُوتُهُنَّ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ
"Apni auraton ko masjid jaane se na roko, lekin unke ghar unke liye behtar hain."
Reference: Sunan Abu Dawud 567 – Sahih (Al-Albani)
🤲 Khulasa
Aksar ulama ke nazdeek Ramzan mein Taraweeh masjid mein jamaat ke saath padhna afzal mana gaya hai, kyunke Sahaba ke daur mein ye amal jari raha.
Lekin ghar mein padhna bhi bilkul jaiz hai. Afzaliyyat halaat, niyat aur khushu‘ par depend karti hai.
✔️ Dono tareeqe sahih hain — beja bahas ki zarurat nahi.
📿 Raat Ki Nafl Namaz: Kitni Rakat Padh Sakte Hain?
Kya Taraweeh ya Qiyam ul Layl ki koi muayyan (fixed) limit hai?
📜 Hadith: Afzal Namaz
Nabi ﷺ se pucha gaya: “Sabse afzal namaz kaun si?”
“طُولُ الْقِيَامِ”
“Lambi qayam wali namaz.”
Reference: Sahih Muslim 756
Is se maloom hota hai ke asal maqsood rakat ki tadaad nahi, balke khushu‘ aur lambi tilawat hai.
📜 Nabi ﷺ Ka Amal
Nabi ﷺ raat ki namaz itni lambi padhte the ke paon mubarak sooj jate the.
“أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا”
“Kya main shukar guzar banda na banu?”
Reference: Sahih Bukhari 4837, Sahih Muslim 2819
✅ Shar‘i Wazahat: Raat ki nafl namaz ki koi muayyan hadd Nabi ﷺ ne tay nahi ki. Aap ﷺ ka aam amal 8 rakat (3 witr ke saath 11) tha. Sahaba ke daur mein 20 rakat ka nizam mashhoor hua.
Is liye 8, 20 ya is se zyada padhna jaiz hai — lekin sunnat ka asal rooh lambi tilawat, khushu‘ aur istiqamat hai, na ke sirf rakat ki tadaad.
🤝 8 Ya 20 Rakat Ka Ikhtilaf – Kya Rawaiya Hona Chahiye?
❌ Beja Jadal (Argument) Se Bachein
Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
مَا ضَلَّ قَوْمٌ بَعْدَ هُدًى كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أُوتُوا الْجَدَلَ
"Koi qaum hidayat par hone ke baad gumrah nahi hoti magar jab usay jadal (beja behas) mein daal diya jata hai."
Reference: Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3253 – Hasan Sahih
🤲 Sahaba Ka Amal
Umar (RA) ke daur mein 20 rakat ka nizam qaim hua aur Sahaba ne is par amal kiya. Dusri taraf Nabi ﷺ ka 8 rakat ka amal bhi sahih riwayat se sabit hai.
Is liye Ahl al-Ilm ke nazdeek dono tareeqe jaiz hain.
📢 Fuqaha Ki Raaye
Jumhur fuqaha (Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafi‘i, Imam Ahmad) ne 20 rakat ko ikhtiyar kiya. Imam Malik se 36 rakat ka amal bhi manqool hai (Madina ke riwayat ke mutabiq).
Baaz Ahl al-Hadith ulama 8 rakat ko tarjeeh dete hain kyunke Nabi ﷺ ka amal us par sabit hai.
✔️ Natija: Yeh fiqhi ikhtilaf hai — deen ka bunyadi aqeeda nahi. Is par sakhti, takfir ya tanqeed karna durust rawaiya nahi.
⚠️ Agar Koi Taraweeh Na Padhe To Kya Hoga?
Taraweeh farz namaz nahi hai. Lekin Ramzan ki azeem ibadat hai. Agar koi shakhs bina uzr ke ise chhod deta hai, to woh bohat bada ajar kho deta hai.
-
1. Gunahon ki maafi ka mauqa:
Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
“Jo Ramzan mein imaan aur sawab ki niyat se qayam kare, uske pichle gunah maaf kar diye jate hain.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari 37, Sahih Muslim 759) - 2. Qiyam ul Layl ki fazilat: Raat ki ibadat Allah ke qareeb karne wali ibadat hai.
- 3. Sunnat ka ehtimam: Nabi ﷺ ne Ramzan ke qayam ki targheeb di aur Sahaba ne is par amal kiya.
- 4. Ramzan ki khas barkat: Ramzan mein ki gayi ibadat ka ajar aam dinon se zyada hota hai.
📌 Fiqhi Wazahat: Aksar fuqaha ke nazdeek Taraweeh Sunnah Mu’akkadah hai. Agar koi shakhs ise chhod de to us par farz ki tarah gunah ka hukm nahi, lekin is azeem ibadat ka ajar zaroor chhoot jata hai.

(Sunan Abu Dawud 1439 – Sahih)

A: Nahi. Yeh fiqhi ikhtilaf hai. Dono tareeqe dalil se sabit hain.
