Ramadan Taraweeh: A 14-century legacy

What captures me most during the Holy Month of Ramadan is the Taraweeh. These are special prayers featuring recitations of the Qur'an after 'Isha (the last evening prayer). From the Arabic word meaning rest and relax, the Taraweeh are long prayers, sometimes lasting over an hour. They are performed at the mosque, where the congregation prays and listens to passages from the Qur'an.
