What is the virtue of Taraaweeh prayers?

Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:
Taraaweeh prayer is Sunnah mustahabbah (i.e., recommended) according to scholarly consensus, as well as comes underneath a streamer of qiyaam al-layl (night prayers). It is supported by a evidence of a Quraan as well as Sunnah which encourages qiyaam al-layl as well as describes a virtues.

Secondly:
Praying qiyaam in Ramadaan is a single of a biggest acts of ceremony by equates to of which a chairman can pull closer to his Lord in this month. Al-Haafiz Ibn Rajab said: Note which in a month of Ramadaan a follower engages in jihad al-nafs on dual fronts: during a day by fasting as well as during a night by praying qiyaam. Whoever combines these dual types of jihad will be given prerogative but limit.
There have been a little ahaadeeth which verbalise specifically about praying qiyaam in Ramadaan as well as report a virtue of so doing. For example:
Al-Bukhaari (37) as well as Muslim (759) narrated from Abu Hurayrah which a Messenger of Allah (peace as well as blessings of Allah be on him) said: Whoever prays qiyaam in Ramadaan out of faith as well as in a hope of reward, his prior sins will be forgiven.
Whoever prays qiyaam in Ramadaan equates to spends a nights in prayer.
Out of faith means, desiring in Allahs promise of reward.
"And in a hope of prerogative means, seeking a prerogative as well as with no alternative goal such as showing off etc.
Will be forgiven his prior sins:
Ibn al-Mundhir was sure which this includes both minor as well as vital sins, but al-Nawawi said: What is well known among a fuqaha is which this relates usually to redemption of minor sins, not vital sins. Some of them said: It might mean which a weight of vital sins is reduced, so long as so long as there have been no min! or sins.
From Fath al-Baari.

Thirdly:
The follower should be keen to essay in w! orship i n a final 10 nights of Ramadaan some-more than during alternative times, since in these 10 nights is Laylat al-Qadr, of which Allah says (interpretation of a meaning):
The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is improved than a thousand months
[al-Qadr 97:3]
Concerning a prerogative of qiyaam on this night, it is narrated which a Prophet (peace as well as blessings of Allaah be on him) said: Whoever spends Laylat al-Qadr in prayer out of faith as well as in a hope of reward, his prior sins will be forgiven. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1768; Muslim, 1268.
Hence a Messenger of Allaah (peace as well as blessings of Allaah be on him) used to essay hard in ceremony in a final 10 nights as he did not do during alternative times.
Narrated by Muslim, 1175.
Al-Bukhaari (2024) as well as Muslim (1174) narrated which Aaishah (may Allaah be gratified with her) said: When a final 10 days began, a Prophet (peace as well as blessings of Allaah be on him) would tie his reduce mantle (izaar) parsimonious as well as stay up during night, as well as arise his family.
The final 10 days equates to a final 10 days of Ramadaan.
tie his reduce mantle (izaar) parsimonious - it was said which this is a embellishment for essay hard in worship, or for keeping away from his wives, as well as it might be which it includes both meanings.
stay up during night equates to staying up as well as praying as well as doing alternative acts of worship.
and arise his family means, he would arise them up to urge during night.
Al-Nawawi said:
This hadeeth indicates which it is mustahabb to do some-more acts of ceremony during a final 10 nights of Ramadaan, as well as to stay up during night to worship.

Fourthly:
We should be keen to urge qiyaam al-layl in Ramadaan in congregation, as well as to stay with a imam until he finishes praying. In this way a worshipper will achieve a prerogative for praying a total night, even ! if he us ually spends a reduced part of a night in prayer. And Allah is a Owner of good bounty.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars have been concluded which it is mustahabb to urge Taraaweeh, but they differed as to whether! it is b etter for a chairman to urge on his own during home or in assemblage in a mosque. Al-Shaafai as well as most of his companions, Abu Haneefah, Ahmad as well as a little of a Maalikis as well as others said which it is improved to urge it in congregation, as Umar ibn al-Khattaab as well as a Sahaabah (may Allah be gratified with them) did as well as as a Muslims continued to do.
Al-Tirmidhi (806) narrated which Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah (peace as well as b blessings of Allaah be on him) said: Whoever prays qiyaam with a imam until he finishes, will be recorded as carrying outlayed a total night in prayer.
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
And Allah knows best.
