What is Taraweeh Ki dua
Taraweeh ki dua is a special supplication recited during Taraweeh prayers in Ramadan. Taraweeh is offered after Isha prayer. It is not a farz prayer but a strong sunnah. Muslims pray it in congregation in mosques or at home.
During Taraweeh, long parts of the Quran are recited. After completing four rakats or at the end of the prayer, people recite Taraweeh ki dua. This dua praises Allah and asks Him for safety from Hellfire. It also reminds believers about the greatness of Allah and the life after death.
This dua is not compulsory. Still, Muslims love to recite it because it increases humility and brings calm to the heart.

Why Taraweeh Ki dua is important
This dua teaches three main lessons. First, it teaches the greatness of Allah. When you repeat His names and attributes, your heart becomes soft and humble.
Second, it reminds you about the life after death. The words about Hellfire make you think about your actions and ask for forgiveness.
Third, it brings unity. When people recite the same dua together in the mosque, they feel like one family. This feeling is very strong in Ramadan nights in Pakistan.
Taraweeh ki dua is not only a prayer. It is a lesson of faith, fear, hope, and love for Allah.

Still, scholars allow it because it contains good words and supplications. It helps people stay focused and humble during long prayers.
