What is the significance of Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan?

Taraweeh is a special prayer that is performed by Muslims during the month of Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Taraweeh is performed after the Isha prayer and before the Witr prayer.

The word 'taraweeh' is derived from an Arabic word which means 'to rest and relax'. The prayer is so named because it involves a lot of standing, bowing, and prostrating, which can be tiring.

The significance of Taraweeh is that it provides an opportunity for Muslims to increase their devotion and to seek forgiveness for their sins. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, and Taraweeh is a way for them to express their gratitude to Allah for the blessings that they have received.

Another significance of Taraweeh is that it is an opportunity for Muslims to recite the entire Quran. During Taraweeh, the Imam recites one Juz (part) of the Quran each night, so that by the end of Ramadan, the entire Quran has been recited.
