ShahihBukhariAboutTahajudTarawih

Al-Qur’an Surah 17. Al-Israa’, verse 79:

“Wa minal-laili fa tahajjad bihii naa filatallak, ‘asaa ay yab’atsaka rabbuka maqaa-mam mahmuudaa”.

( And in some part of the night (also) offer the Salaat(prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Qur’an in the prayer), as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer—Nawaafil) for you (O Muhammad SAW). It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqaam Mahmuud (a station of praise and glory, i.e. the honour of intercession on the Day of Resurrrecton.)

Tarawih: Optional salat (prayers) offered after the ‘isha’ prayers on the night of ramadan. These may be performed individually or congregation

Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)
Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 21 :: Hadith 229

Narrated 'Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers:

One night Allah's Apostle offered the prayer in the Mosque and the people followed him. The next night he also offered the prayer and too many people gathered. On the third and the fourth nights more people gathered, but Allah's Apostle did not come out to them. In the morning he said, "I saw what you were doing and nothing but the fear that it (i.e. the prayer) might be enjoined on you, stopped me from coming to you." And that happened in the month of Ramadan.


Praying at Night in Ramadaan (Taraweeh)
Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 32 :: Hadith 229

Narrated 'Urwa:
That he was informed by 'Aisha, "Allah's Apostle went out in the middle of the night and prayed in the mosque and some men prayed behind him. In the morning, the people spoke about it and then a large number of them gathered and prayed behind him (on the second night). In the next morning the people again talked about it and on the third night the mosque was full with a large number of people. Allah's Apostle came out and the people prayed behind him. On the fourth night the Mosque was overwhelmed with people and could not accommodate them, but the Prophet came out (only) for the morning prayer. When the morning prayer was finished he recited Tashah-hud and (addressing the people) said, "Amma ba'du, your presence was not hidden from me but I was afraid lest the night prayer (Qiyam) should be enjoined on you and you might not be able to carry it on." So, Allah's Apostle died and the situation remained like that (i.e. people prayed individually). "



Rak’at: The salat (prayer) of muslims consist of rak’at, (singular-rak’ah, which is a unit of prayer and consist of standing, one bowing and two prostrations)

Witr: An odd number of Rak’at with which one finishes one’s Salat (prayers) at night after the night prayer or the Isha prayer.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?"


I hope these Bukhari’s Hadits at least make us understand about Tahajud or Taraweeh. It looks like there is a question, what is the difference between Tahajud and Taraweeh. From the Hadits above we know that there is no difference about Tahajud and Taraweeh. Both of them perform at night after isha prayer. The difference comes when in Ramadan, the Tahajud names Taraweeh.
