Taraweeh attendance is declining

  Half of the month of Ramadan has already passed. Following the completion of two long weeks of Taraweeh, the number of righteous Muslims at the mosques appears to have decreased, compared with the earlier two weeks, which showed a strong urge to offer the particular prayer.    That strong whim of the devout Muslims seems to have no longer persisted if we find the vacant spaces at the mosques. Several have accepted that they are totally agreeing with this disposition in this month. This appears to demonstrate a comparative decline in interest in offering the extra twenty rakat of the Taraweeh prayer at nearby mosques.  Only those who have been quite regular or honest in offering this prayer are finding themselves in the mosques. They are indeed fearful of God's anger, so they are quite punctual in attending this absolutely special prayer during the pious month of Ramadan.

Offering Taraweeh at suitable spot


 


Ramadan is indeed a month of prayer. It is in this significant month that the devout offer twenty rakats of extra prayer after the compulsory Isha prayer. It is far better to pray extra rakats of Taraweeh with the congregation (Imam). 

If there is space in the mosque or a facility is found to offer the prayer in an airy space, it is permissible to pray at the more suitable place. There is nothing wrong in it. Though some raise questions at it.

Then how could it be quickly objected that if one stands amidst cool air, the prayer will not be at all completed in complete essence? 

Undeniably, the acceptance of the important prayer solely lies in the hands of the Most Benevolent Allah. It is not proper for a common devotee to raise a straight question about the selection of space in a big or small mosque. 

What is precisely wrong if the person tries to offer prayers in a more airy space? How many of us could try to oppose it ardently? The person offering prayer needs a more comfortable or relaxed space. 

Standing in an easy position provides full attention to the extra prayer indeed. The total concentration in the prayer can only be developed if there is no immediate fuss around the selected space for the prayer in the not-so-ventilated mosque. 

It was quite mirthful that we spent just a few hours completing the extra prayers and yet had seldom felt good at the prayer seeker praying conveniently at the given time. 

Who takes care of the prayer since it starts exactly and in the manner we ought to do it? Now, who does not wish to offer the prayer for the rest of his ordained life?
