[EmperoKultum Eps. 10] Bersama Ustadz Yusuf Nur Efendi - Tata Cara Sholat Tarawih Munfarid

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on the proper way to perform Sholat Tarawih Munfarid, as discussed by Ustadz Yusuf Nur Efendi in the Empero Kultum episode. Sholat Tarawih is a special prayer performed during the month of Ramadan, and understanding its execution is essential for a fulfilling spiritual experience during this holy month.

Step 1: Prepare for Sholat Tarawih

• Perform Wudu: Ensure you are in a state of purity by performing the ablution (wudu) before starting the prayer.
• Choose a Comfortable Place: Find a clean and quiet space where you can concentrate on your prayers without distractions.

Step 2: Intention for Sholat Tarawih

• Make the Niyyah: Formulate your intention in your heart to perform Sholat Tarawih. This can be done silently, as the intention is a personal commitment to God.

Step 3: Start the Prayer

• Begin with Takbiratul Ihram: Raise your hands to your ears and say "Allahu Akbar" to start your prayer.
• Recite Al-Fatihah: After Takbir, recite Surah Al-Fatihah followed by another Surah or verses from the Quran in each unit of prayer.

Step 4: Perform the Raka'at

• Pray in Sets of Two: Sholat Tarawih is typically performed in sets of two raka'at.
  • For each raka'at:
    • Stand (Qiyam)
    • Bow (Ruku)
    • Prostrate (Sujud)
    • Sit (Tasyahud) before the next raka'at.
• Common Surahs to Recite: You may choose to recite shorter Surahs or verses that you are comfortable with.

Step 5: Complete the Prayer

• Conclude with Tashahhud: After completing the last raka'at, sit for Tashahhud and recite the Shahadah.
• Salam: End your prayer by turning your head to the right and saying "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah" to conclude.

Step 6: Optional Additional Prayers

• Continue Praying: Although Tarawih is traditionally 8 or 20 raka'at, you can adjust the number to your personal capacity.
• Consider Witr Prayer: After Tarawih, it is recommended to perform the Witr prayer, which is usually prayed in odd numbers (1, 3, 5).

Conclusion

Performing Sholat Tarawih Munfarid enhances your spiritual connection during Ramadan. This guide outlines the essential steps for conducting the prayer correctly and meaningfully. As Ramadan progresses, aim to deepen your practice and understanding of this blessed ritual. Whether you choose to pray alone or in congregation, the key is sincerity and devotion. Happy Ramadan!
