After reading Surah Al-Fatihah in every rakaat of tarawih, you can recite any surah or verses that you memorized.


If you are able to, we recommend that you read a few of the following surah as listed below:


From the night of 1 until 15 Ramadan:


20 Rakaat

- In every first rakaat, read one surah from At-Takathur until Al-Masad.

- In every second rakaat, read surah Al-Ikhlas.


8 Rakaat

- Read one surah in each two rakaat from At-Takathur until Al-Kafirun.


From the night of 16 until the end of Ramadan:

20 Rakaat

- In every rakaat, read surah Al-Qadar.

- In every second rakaat, read one surah from At-Takathur until surah Al-Masad


8 Rakaat

- Read one surah from At-Takathur until Al-Kafirun for both rakaat.
