Tarawih in Ramadhan

Salam & Ahlan,

During ramadhan night, muslims are encouraged to perfom many nawafil ( reciting Quran and solat ). One of the famous nawafil is solat tarawih. My first tarawih happened when I joined my senior to mosque. [ My father did not fetch me to masjid even he was a imam ].

Of course, we reached earlier to perform Isha` first. I was too awkward. Azan was already done when I entered the Mosque. There was no makmun except a muazzin. I waited to my senior to get anything to do. He entered and rise his hand for takbir beside me immedietly without any word. Unconsiously I was following him.

For every movement, I followed him. I felt more awkward when every one inside the mosque looked at me and smiled. Why they do not perform the solat ???. What a terrible. My senior finished and so I was. Then every makmun were ready to perform solat Isha`. so we joint them altogether...

What sort of solat I had performed earlier??? Was I mistaken ???. This question was unanswerable till I pursued my school in Sek. Agama. All what I have done that time becomes my sweet memory. My first time in Mosque happened in Ramadhan.

Thanks to my senior [ his name is yet fresh in my mind - ROSLAN ] for this memory. So to perform nawafil is very requested to us as muslim especially in Ramadhan al- Mubarak.

الله أكبـر
