It does not mean that one cannot pray more than eleven rak^ahs. This is substantiated by the hadith of Imam ^Aliyy narrated by Hafidh al-Khila^iyy that the Prophet \ufdfa prayed sixteen rak^ahs at night. Hafidh al-^Iraqiyy said that its chain is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It became conventional among many to label the twenty rak^ahs followed by the three Witr rak^ahs the Tarawih prayer. As for the Qiyam of Ramadan, Imam ash-Shafi^iyy said: \u201cThere is no limit for the number of rak^ahs the Qiyam of Ramadan prayer has.\u201d Hence, let the intention in the heart be: \u201cI now pray the Qiyam of Ramadan prayer.\u201d It is also good to pray it in congregation. The practice in Islamic countries is to recite the thirty Juz\u2019s of the Qur\u2019an in the congregational Qiyam of Ramadan prayer, at the rate of one Juz\u2019 every night.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On every night of Ramadan, it is recommended to perform an optional prayer after the ^Isha\u2019 prayer.
