The Muslims should be well aware that from the time of Sahaba, the Muslims have been performing at least twenty rakat of Tarawih (including inside Haramayn Shareefayn where Muslims till today are continuing this). This has been the practice of majority of Sunni Muslims from the times of the Sahaba (Allah be pleased with them), the Tabi'een and the Ulama (Allah have mercy upon them) until a new Wahabi sect came into existence which shattered the Muslim unity on this issue. All they have is a singular hadith regarding "TAHAJJUD" which they misapply on Tarawih and thus misguide innocent Muslims. So let us see this in light of abundant proofs that Tarawih consists of 20 Rakahs.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Before the overwhelming proofs on Rakahs of Tarawih are shown, we would like to show this rigorously authentic hadith which elaborates the meaning of word "SUNNAH" in Islamic Shariah.
