Note: Different Categories Of Muslimahs Regarding Salat At-Taraweeh And Witr In Ramadan

πŸ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

πŸ—’️ Different categories of Muslimahs after the Adhaan of Salat Al-'Ishaa is called (then Sunnah Salat At-Taraweeh and Witr) during Ramadan:
The Muslimah who...
1] ...joins her husband and/or family or friends to pray Salat Al-'Ishaa, Taraweeh and Witr in the Masjid. 
2] ...first prays Salat Al-'Ishaa in her room or residence then waits for a while before joining the group to pray Sunnah Taraweeh and Witr in the Masjid. 
3] ...prefers to pray Salat Al-'Ishaa, Taraweeh and Witr in her own room or residence. 
4] ...will pray Salat Al-'Ishaa, Taraweeh and Witr at home only after she completes washing the dishes and cleaning up her kitchen etc. 
5] ...will pray Salat Al-'Ishaa, Taraweeh and Witr at home only after she feels full from her Iftaar meal and dinner. 
6] ...will take some rest or nap for at least one hour before she prays Salat Al-'Ishaa, Taraweeh and Witr in her residence. 
7] ...will attend an online class or conference, or listen to a lecture, before she prays Salat Al-'Ishaa, Taraweeh and Witr in her residence. 
8] ...does some chores before praying Salat Al-'Ishaa in her room then after some minutes she goes to the nearest Masjid to pray the remaining Rak'ahs (Rak'aat) of Salat At-Taraweeh and Witr. 
9] ...volunteers to babysit some infants and children while their parents are at the Masjid praying then she prays Salat Al-'Ishaa, Taraweeh and Witr a bit later when they arrive. 
10] ...volunteers to babysit some infants and children while their parents are at the Masjid praying then she prays Salat Al-'Ishaa then Witr, and praying Taraweeh only when she's not tired or busy at times. 
11] ...sometimes prays Salat At-Taraweeh and Witr in the Masjid and other times she prays the Sunnah prayers at her residence depending on her situation. 
12] ...loves to pray Taraweeh with as many Muslims as she can join during Ramadan, praying Taraweeh at various Masaajid / mosques, prayer areas and Muslim gatherings. 
13] ...doesn't pray Taraweeh on a regular basis whether with the group at the Masjid or in her residence because she currently finds it too long or difficult - unaware of its many virtues and that we Muslims can pray at least two Rak'ahs (Rak'ataan) of Sunnah Salat At-Taraweeh and recite shorter Surahs when praying this highly rewarding Sunnah prayer.

πŸ“– Ibn Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Whenever the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam saw the new crescent moon, he would say, "Allah is the Greatest! O Allah, bring it over us with safety and faith (Imaan), peace (salaam) and Islam, and guidance to what our Rabb (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) loves and is pleased with. Our Rabb (Allah) and your Rabb is Allah." ["Allahu Akbar. Allahumma ahillahu 'alaynaa bil-amni wal Imaan, wa as-salaamati wa al-Islaam, wa at-tawfeequ limaa Tuhebbu wa Tardaa, Rabbunaa wa RabbukAllah. Ameen."]
