Is it better to offer less rakats with longer surahs or more rakats with shorter surahs when praying taraweeh?

I’ve always wandered which worship I should prioritize before fajr if my time is limited to for example 30 minutes. Prayers, Quran recitation, dua, dhikr, etc. A bit of everything or a lot of some things? Is it better to do more prayers with short surahs or less prayers with longer surahs? Is it okay if I only make dua before fajr time?

ANSWER: The best is to stick to the Sunnah and pray the 8 rakats for Tahajjud even if it is short and conclude it with Witr. The best place to make dua is in the sujood of your prayers.

ANSWER: What they are doing is wrong and against the sunnah! These 2 Imams are repressing the imam of the masjid and not themselves. Therefore, when one of them offers witr, and the other one offers another witr as the end of tahajjud, this is as if the Imam offered two witr in the same […]

Its has been a habit for me to pray night prayers from the 1st day of Ramadan to the last day from 4:30am to 5am. So I normally skip witr during the prayer in the mosque so as to pray it after my night prayers. Am I doing the right thing skipping witr? Can I pray the witr with the immam and also repeat it after my night prayers?

23 May

ANSWER: You should pray the whole taraweeh and the witr with imam to gain the reward of praying the entire night. You can go back home and pray as many rakahs as you wish but you must not repeat the witr as witr is prayed only once per night.

We have two imams for taraweeh. If I joined the either from start to finish but stayed away from one, do I get the reward of praying through the whole night according to the hadith that encourages praying behind imam from the beginning to the end?

18 May

ANSWER: It doesn’t matter how many imams lead the taraweeh, the ruling is that if you pray in the same masjid the whole taraweeh and Witr with the congregation, you are eligible for the reward of the entire night. If you pray behind one and skip the other, you won’t get the reward.
