TARAWEEH… IN THE GOLDEN ERA OF ISLAM

[A Sahaabi is a Muslim who was blessed with seeing Rasulullah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) –
A Tâbi’ee is a Muslim who saw a Sahâbi - A Tâbi’ Tâbi’ee is a Muslim who saw a Tâbi’ee]

LENGTHENING OF THE TARAWEEH SALAAH

▶Saa’ib bin Yazeed (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) says:
In the days of Sayyiduna Umar (radhiyallaahu ‘anhu), the Taraweeh Salaah used to be so lengthy, that some of
us had to take support from our walking sticks to remain standing! (The infirm and the sick)
He adds: The Taraweeh used to terminate in the early hours of the morning, just a little before Subh Saadiq!

(Muwatta Imam Maalik - awjazul masaalik 2/300)
 
▶In the noble era of Sayyiduna Uthmaan (radhiyallaahu anhu) too, they used to take support from their
walking sticks, due to the long Taraweeh Salaat.

(Rigorously Authenticated-Baihaqee–sanaduhu saheeh-aathaarus sunan pg.251)
 
▶Aboo Bakr Ansaari Bukhaari (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh), who passed away around 120 A.H., says:
Upon completing Taraweeh, we used to return home and rush the servants to bring the food for sehri, since very
little time was left before Subh Saadiq!                                         

(Muwatta Imaam Maalik - awjazul masaalik 2/308)

AS SIDDIQ | Eminently Truthful 1! 5 MPIT

120 YEAR OLD IMAAM PERFORMING ALL 20 RAKA’AAT OF TARAWEEH
SALAAH!

 

▶ Suwayd bin Ghafalah (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) was a Taabi’ee. He arrived in Madeenah Munawwarah the
day Rasulullah sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was buried.

Waleed bin Ali says:

Suwayd bin Ghafalah (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) reached the age of 120 and he still used to be our Imaam in the
Taraweeh Salaah! He used to perform all 20 raka’aat himself!

(Authenticated -Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah 2/287; Bayhaqi isnaaduhu hasan–aathaarus sunan pg. 253)

 

▶ Abu Rajaa ‘Utaaridee (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) was also a Taabi’ee. He passed away at the ripe old age of
120.

He himself says: “I was so frail and weak that I could not even walk. People used to carry me from my home to
the Masjid!”

He would then lead the Taraweeh Salaah, reciting about 30 aayaat in each raka’aat, which if multiplied by 20,
will equal to about 3 paras (juz) of the Qur’aan Kareem!

(Mukhtasar qiyaamil layl-qiyaam ramadhaan pg.12)

 

So the day you are feeling tired or a little lazy, just think of the lengthy Taraweeh Salaah of
your pious predecessors!

LAYLATUL QADR

By Moulana Yunus Patel RA

Allah Ta’ala’s love for His Prophet Muhammad The most special and most blessed of all nights is
the Night of “QADR”. Laylatul Qadr is a night
(Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) is clearly evident singled out by Allah Ta’ala, who granted it such
and manifest in many Ayaat (verses) of the magnificent virtues and such greatness that
Qur`aan Shareef. Additionally, whilst other surpasses all other nights. The fact that Allah Ta’ala
Ambiyaa (Alayhimus Salaam) were gifted with has gifted this Ummah, with this one night – year in
exclusive titles, it was Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi and year out – highlights again the Divine mercy
wa-Sallam) alone, whose title was that is extended to this Ummah, as well as the
Graciousness and Kindness of Allah Ta’ala in giving

Due to this Divine love for Sayyidina rewards.
Muhammad (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-
Sallam), his Ummah is recipient to  It is mentioned in Tafseer that one

from Allah Ta’ala. It is only due to “greatness, honour, dignity” and this

The explanation of this noble title, “Ummate night of Qadr, with complete faith and with
Marhooma” is that forgiveness is secured and
mercy is attained through our sicknesses, our sincere hope of gaining reward, all his
hardships and other tribulations; through the Eesale
Sawaab that people convey to us after our demise, previous sins are forgiven.”
and through blessed days and nights such as are
found in Ramadaan, and other special days and  “Qadr” also means “pre-destination” and we find

AS SIDDIQ | Eminently Truthful 1! 9 MPIT

Drawing from the different narrations, it becomes CLICK HERE
clear that the Night of Qadr should be sought in the
last 10 nights of Ramadaan, specifically the odd MPIT
nights. Its greatness and merit is described in the
Speech of Allah Ta’ala, wherein it is stated that
worship in this night surpasses the worship of 1000
months.

Worship includes Salaah, Tilawah (recitation) of the
Qur`aan Shareef, Zikrullah, Dua, etc.

 The night is also a night for sincere repentance as
attested by a narration, wherein Hazrat Ayesha
(RA) had asked Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-
Sallam) what prayer she should engage in if she
finds Laylatul Qadr and Rasulullah (Sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa-Sallam) advised her the following dua:
“O Allah, very You are Oft-Pardoning, You
love to Pardon, so do pardon me.”

 Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) said : “A
month has verily dawned over you wherein lies a
night better than a thousand months. Whoever
misses such a night has indeed been
deprived of all that is good; and none is
deprived of it, except he who is really
unfortunate.”

May Allah Ta’ala grant us appreciation of these
beautiful opportunities, and grant us the experience
and rewards of Laylatul Qadr.

 It is not possible to do justice to a discussion of
Laylatul Qadr but an excellent and detailed
exposition is found in the book “Fazaa`il-e-
Ramadaan” by Shaykhul Hadeeth, Hazrat
Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya (Rahmatullah
‘alayh), which offers tremendous inspiration,
motivation and encouragement.
