Did the Prophet ﷺ Start Taraweeh? The Truth About “Bid‘ah” Explained

Описание: In this enlightening lecture, Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem answers a question many Muslims wonder about every Ramadan: Is the Taraweeh prayer a Bid‘ah (innovation), or is it a Sunnah established by the Prophet ﷺ himself?

Sheikh Assim clarifies the origin of Taraweeh, tracing it back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who led his companions in night prayers for several nights during Ramadan. The Prophet then stopped leading Taraweeh, not because it was wrong, but out of mercy for his Ummah, fearing that Allah might make it obligatory upon them.

After the Prophet’s passing, Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA) gathered the people behind one Imam, reviving the Prophet’s Sunnah in congregation. When he saw the Muslims praying together, he said, “What a good Bid‘ah this is.” Sheikh Assim explains that this statement refers to linguistic Bid‘ah (something new in form), not a religious Bid‘ah (innovation in worship) — because the act itself has a foundation in the Sunnah.

👉 In this video, you will learn:
• The authentic Hadith about the Prophet ﷺ leading Taraweeh
• Why the Prophet stopped praying Taraweeh in congregation
• The wisdom behind Umar ibn Al-Khattab’s action
• The difference between linguistic Bid‘ah and religious Bid‘ah
• Why Taraweeh is a revival of Sunnah, not an innovation

This talk beautifully clears misconceptions about Taraweeh and helps Muslims understand its true basis in the Sunnah — reminding us that every act of worship must be rooted in the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ.
