Masjid al-Haram, located in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, is the largest mosque in the world and the most sacred site of Islam. Taraweeh prayers are held in Masjid al-Haram as soon as the moon is sighted for Ramadan.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, considered the holiest month for Muslims. During this month, Muslims observe a fast from dawn until dusk and perform Taraweeh prayers, a particular form of congregational prayers.
Taraweeh takes place after the Isha prayer, and it consists of several sections of the Quran recited each night until the entire Quran is completed by the end of the month.
This is a highly anticipated event for Muslims worldwide, as it signals the start of the holy month and the beginning of a period of spiritual reflection, devotion, and renewal. Highly respected and knowledgeable imams lead the Taraweeh prayers in Masjid al-Haram, and they are attended by large numbers of worshippers from around the world.
